From jarich at perltraining.com.au Sun Nov 14 21:11:10 2010 From: jarich at perltraining.com.au (jarich at perltraining.com.au) Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 16:11:10 +1100 (EST) Subject: [Brisbane-pm] OSDC Call for volunteers (free conference entry) Message-ID: <20101115051111.337D6A8D3A@teddybear.perltraining.com.au> Still hankering to go to OSDC this year? Here's an opportunity for some of you to get in for no charge! We're looking for volunteers to cover the registration desk, provide room monitor duties, operate the audio and video equipment and generally help with the smooth running of the event. If you're interested, please contact conference at osdc.com.au or fill out the form at http://2010.osdc.com.au/contact. Those interested in the audio/video side of things must be available Tuesday afternoon (23rd Nov) for training and then Wednesday 24th to Friday 26th from 8.30am to 5.30pm. While no experience is required for any volunteer tasks, including audio/video, you must be keen. We will try and schedule you all so you get to see what you want to, but cannot make any promises. In exchange for your help, you will get free access to the conference (no dinner unfortunately, but you can upgrade for $80 if you want to attend that too). We look forward to hearing from you, From toby.corkindale at strategicdata.com.au Tue Nov 16 16:20:14 2010 From: toby.corkindale at strategicdata.com.au (Toby Corkindale) Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2010 11:20:14 +1100 Subject: [Brisbane-pm] OSDC Perl BOF Message-ID: <4CE31FBE.1090701@strategicdata.com.au> Hello everyone, I hope it's OK for me to cross-post this far and wide. There has been some discussion between the Adelaide and Melbourne perlmongers about having a Perl BoF meet during the OSDConference next week, and I'd like to extend that to other Perl mongers. The conference dinner is on Wednesday, and I gather some visitors will be flying home straight after the conference on Friday, so at this stage it looks like Thursday night is the night. I wondered, would visitors to Melbourne be interested in sticking close to the conference venue (eg. the "Boiler Bar") or striking out further into Melbourne (perhaps Collingwood or Fitzroy, or the CBD)? Cheers, Toby
