Go ahead and just show up!</p> <p>Many people also go for a drink and further discussion following the meeting, at a location determined ad hoc. (Note: Trees restaurant is now closed, so we will have to go elsewhere!)</p> <p><a href="http://twitter.com/pjug">http://twitter.com/pjug</a> <a href="http://pjug.org/">http://pjug.org/</a> (join our mailing list, linked from the website!)</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pjug.org/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
