                                -on-
          CPAN and the Collaborative Development Environment
  As everyone knows, there's a big difference between one-off code you've
  written for yourself, and code you're writing to give to the world.
  James E. Keenan talks about his experiences developing code for CPAN
  and about about the challenges, social and technical, of developing 
  code for a vast collaborative environment.

  Please also join us on November 15, 2006 at IBM for next month's
  meeting.

  Join us after the meeting around 8:15pm-9pm for drinks and conversation
   at PJ Carney's at 135 East 56th Street.
