</u><u>Damien Krotkine - Forcing timeouts on sockets
(PerlIO, Redis, Riak)</u><br>
<br>
<div>When using a web service with high expectation on the speed
and latency, you often want to abort connection if it's too
slow / latency is too high. I present a portable way to
automatically make a Perl socket aware of read / write
timeouts. And I explain why I did that and how.</div>

<u><b>Unabridged:</b></u><br>
You've probably heard of the Perl Mongers meetings, where fellow
Perl (and non-Perl programmers) can get together to "talk shop",
make fun of everything (including Perl) and have a good time.
These meetings often have a few technical talks (which are
usually light-hearted, and not necessarily - but likely -
involve Perl). There is already the Amsterdam.pm talks. This is
not about that. This is about AmsterdamX.pm, which will have its
second meeting on <b>October 29th</b>, at <b>18:30</b>, in the
<b>Hong Kong & Osaka room</b> (<b>5th floor</b>), at <b>Booking.com</b>,
<b>Herengracht 597</b>.<br>
<br>
The talks can be a 5 minute tidbit about a cool module, or a 40
minute tutorial about <big>some cool new (or old) software.</big><br>
<br>
<b><u>AmsterdamX.pm?</u><br>
</b>AmsterdamX.pm (Amsterdam eXpats Perl Mongers) is a new Perl
Mongers group whose purpose is to optimize for expats. The major
differences are:<br>
* use English; We might speak more than 50 languages, but we
commonly speak only one.<br>
* Meeting early: we meet at 18:30, so you can come straight from
work instead of having a long buffer time to the meeting.<br>
* Held at Booking.com, where most expats in Amsterdam already
work.<br>
<br>
This isn't instead of Amsterdam.pm, but to provide an additional
group. It is not meant to replace, but to supplement. There is
no affiliation between Amsterdam.pm and AmsterdamX.pm.<br>
<br>
<b><u>Why should I attend?</u><br>
</b>Here are a few reasons which might appeal to you:<br>
* You will improve your knowledge of Perl (and most likely other
technologies) through the knowledge and experience of others.
It's like a free course, with snacks!<br>
* You could give a talk and share your knowledge and experience.
If you're going to YAPC to give a talk, this is great practice.<br>
* It's a wonderful chance to socialize.<br>
<br>
<u><b>How many talks, and how long are they?</b></u><br>
Usually there will be 2-3 talks, ranging between 5 minutes
(lightning) and 40 minutes (tutorial).<br>
<br>
<u><b>Is it just for Booking.com?</b></u><br>
No. This isn't Booking.pm, this is AmsterdamX.pm. (also,
Sparta!)<br>
This means that everyone is invited! At first we would like
people to <b>register</b> so we could have a good estimate of
the people arriving. This will help with various things like
optimized snack distribution, making sure reception knows of
people arriving that don't have keys, making sure we get a
proper room, etc.<br>

Please let us know by return email if you will be attending as
well as the names of anyone you plan on bringing from outside
of Booking.com.<br>
