Second, I made last Wednesday's meeting of the group (these are weekly, 6-9pm) and was very impressed at the size and quality of the turnout. The program was on the Hugin Panorama Stitcher program for linux (they have a Sourceforge page), but it was also interesting in that although there was at least one "hobbyist" project going (a user was getting printer hookup help for a recent Ubuntu load), the level of programming/scripting discussion was high, at least to me. Only about half of the 14 or so attendees were cPanel veterans and a wide variety of IT experience was represented.
Third, I also discovered that the cPanel location is not only the host of HLUG now but of the local branch of PerlMongers, the group that does a lot of coding in that manner (Practical Extraction and Reporting Language). I'll get a link for them as soon as I figure out where the Houston Branch is located in the interwebs. ALSO - special thanks to the cPanel executive in attendance who sprung upon me the news that BackTrack (the famous security distro) is now rechristened as Kali Linux. This must have happened over the last 60 days... or maybe I've been distracted more than usual!
More to come - things are happening!
