Unfortunately we’re going to have to postpone this month’s meeting as Nick Hodge has a last minute family commitment and has had to postpone.

We were planning on running an open discussion after Nick’s talk but there’s probably little point in meeting up just for a discussion.

To make it a little trickier, Ben C has had an accident (nothing life threatening!) and cannot make the meeting. Aaron won’t be in Melbourne and Christian might not be able to make it either.

This means that not only is our only presenter not available, but the highly unlikely situation of having no-one with access to the Hitwise building around has become somewhat likely.

February’s meeting is on, though, and will be an OSDClub meeting. For those of you who haven’t heard of these, the Open Source Developers Club organise talks every other month and are hosted alternately by phpMelb and the Melbourne Perl Mongers.

The two talks lines up for February’s meeting are:

* Twitter and the Social Web – Alec Clews
* OpenID: A hands on tutorial and demo – Ben Balbo

We’ll send out another announcement with more information nearer the time.

In other news, the next BarCamp Melbourne is due to be announced in a few days. You heard it here first – it’s likely to be held on the 7th/8th or 14th/15th March 2009. To keep up-to-date on developments, subscribe to their low traffic twitter or identica feeds (@barcampmelb).

That’s all for this month’s meeting announcement. If you want to talk about these or any other related topics, head over to the main mailing list. You can join by sending a blank email to main-join@phpmelb.org.
