However it now does: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net/ Now, I don't mind programming in Objective C (it's easier than C, has a reasonable class library and such) but being able to use Perl looks cool. And it seems that one can mix and match to some extent...but I don't know how much yet. Maybe a presentation for next year?

A friendly reminder that the CFP for the Open Programming Miniconf, part of LCA2011 being held in Brisbane in January, is closing on October 22. That's this Friday! If you're a developer working with or on Open Source development tools or languages, and especially Perl, they'd love to hear you share your tips and techniques. The CFP, including details about what we're after, is available from http://blogs.tucs.org.au/opm/cfp Best wishes, Paul == ABOUT THE MINICONF == The LCA2011 Open Programming Miniconf is the successor to the Open Programming Languages Miniconf held at LCA2010, and continues the tradition of bridging the gap between the low-level developer and the end-user by bringing the topic of tools and techniques for application development to Linux.conf.au. OPM2011 is part of Linux.conf.au 2011, being held at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane in January 2011.

You beat me to it :-) Yes it is supposed to be tonight (there is a bug which means the web site updates a little too early to the next one). I was going to propose moving it to next week since this week is pretty much a write-off for me :-( But that would mean no social in October! Fail! So... what to do? Can people go on without me tonight? :-) Or shall we reschedule? - Justin -- Justin Hawkins justin at hawkins.id.au From websmith at internode.on.net Mon Oct 25 17:57:46 2010 From: websmith at internode.on.net (roman orszanski) Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 11:27:46 +1030 Subject: [adelaide.pm] October Social, was Re: September social - this Friday!
