<p>We all feel very proud of our good works and would
like to encourage other Perl Monger groups to do the
same with their local zoos. It's very likely that
other zoos run similar schemes.</p>

<p>Thanks to Robert Shiels, we've now renewed the camel sponsorship for another year, and now we have to raise the money to pay him back. We've also <a href="http://husk.org/perl/zoo/">visited the camel</a>.</p>

We asked this question on list in May 2008 and got only two responses, both from people who had been involved in the course creation or delivery so we don't have any ratings. There are as follows ...
</p>

<ul>

<li>
Learning Tree
<p>
There is an intro course and an advanced course, student feedback is available. More details can be found <a href="http://www.learningtree.co.uk/courses/uk431.htm">here</a>. <i> n.b. my sources tell me that the Advanced course is only available if you talk to LT sales directly. </i>
</p>
</li>


<li>
IBM
<p> It's a 5 day course including module usage, it can be run at their facilities in Blackfriars or on-site. There are both Linux and Win32 versions, more information can be found <a href="http://www-05.ibm.com/services/learning/uk/ta-iris.nsf/(extcoursenr)/AU24GB?OpenDocument">here.</a>

</h2><div class="item">
<p>London.pm uses a lot of <a href="/meetings/">venues</a> - we rely on generous companies for the technical meets and for the
social meet we phone up pubs who don't hate us yet and ask if we can reserve an area at no cost. The criteria we use include
good beer, quiet(ish) i.e no cheesy europop being blared out at a 1000Db, food served, near a tube and, if possible, good disabled access.
Not necessarily in that order.

<p>Originally we had a server called penderel after the <a href="/meetings/locations/penderel.html">Penderel's Oak</a> and it's what hosts london.pm.org. People that once paid cash for
this have shell accounts on it. It's currently in state51 and what jolly nice people they are too.</p>

<p>You could get accounts on penderel for 20 GBP waged, 5 GBP unwaged; the money went to buy the inevitable upgrades.</p>

<p>Yes. Leon and a cabal of supporters bought the 'official London.pm colour' at YAPC::Europe in 2002. Since there's not really anywhere for it to manifest itself other than this site, london.pm.org is now bright orange, with brown bits.</p>
