The Metro Atlanta Erlang Users Group, some single digits strong, will meet for the first time on September 20, 2008 at the Brick Store Pub in Decatur, GA.  For now, we are planning on meeting at 7pm.

The Brick Store has a fairly amazing beer selection, and they're light on the TV's so we can hopefully avoid the rabid Tech and Dawg football fans.  Let's sit upstairs if possible.

Please throw out suggestions for what to talk about in the comments, or we can just get together and meet/drink.  I can talk about a project I've got cooking, and my trials with backends, including CouchDB vs. Mnesia.  Kevin Smith says he will be there, so we can possibly guide his pragpodcast direction :)

Wifi is a bit iffy.  Decatur is blanketed, but I'm not sure if it's free.  I believe you need to be a resident.  So, that means I'll be calling on my friend who lives over there.  Happily, he's at least heard of Erlang.

Oh, and in addition to Erlang, I try to indoctrinate as many as I run into about the hotness of the D Programming Language.  You have been warned.

I just remembered that I'd love a library for D (or integrated in tango, why not) that provided share-nothing light threads with channels between them like stackless python and erlang.

How long do you suppose you'll be meeting? I live in Montgomery AL (2.5 hour drive) and I'm wondering if it's worth me driving up there? I've only hacked on Erlang for about a month or so and really enjoy it so far.

@David Parker, Not sure... If people are going to drive a ways, we can start even earlier (informally). I imagine it will run a couple of hours, depending on how interesting the conversations are and how freely the beer flows.

Given my distance from ATL (5hrs round trip) and the fact that I'm still pretty new to Erlang, I'll probably skip out on this one. Have fun!

@David Parker, drat. Okay, well next time then.

Anyone else coming, in addition to Kevin Smith and myself?
