Okay, Fridays are possible but problematic

Since no-one else has said anything, I propose Monday the 24th March (since
17th March is St Patricks Day and I'd rather not be driving around that
evening given the choice)

Patrick, can you book?

Mark.

Awesome.

Now, all we need do is have someone update the website.

(And while they're at it, while we're awaiting the tuits for the redesign,
they could change "perl" to "Perl")

Thanks.

Mark.

Message-ID: <CAJ=1D2-mf6fGkwmVkq8xUDReOw6=+xMvaHGhxyvKX_2OcsXrSw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I'd like to speak at the next meeting.  Here's a list of random talk
topics I can give one of at the next tech meeting:

a) Testing the CPAN way

The structure of Perl tests on CPAN;  TAP;  Test::More and friends;
Interesting Testing modules on the CPAN.  Writing (and testing) your
own test module.

b) Exceptional Exceptions

How Perl handles exceptions, including gotchas on early Perl.
Exception frameworks and additional syntax.  Talk about my "err"
module to quickly define exception hierarchies.

c) I \x{2665} Perl \x{ff06} UTF-8

Everything you wanted to know about UTF-8 with Perl but were afraid to ask.

All 20 minutes long.  If anyone has a favorite, let me know.

Mark.

Ooh.  I'd love to see any of these.  The one I feel least familiar
with is exceptions, though, so if you've need of a tie-breaker, that'd
be the one I would pick.

Hello Perl Mongers,

I thought I might point out that the call for speakers for
YAPC::NA::2014 (Orlando Florida, 2014-06-23 - 2014-06-25) is closing
at midnight  (technically 2014-02-16T04:59:00Z ) if anyone was
intending to submit a talk.

http://www.yapcna.org/yn2014/call_for_speakers.html

I'm planning to submit the talk I gave at our last technical meeting.

Mark.
