We are providing them: 1. to share our wealth with the rest of the world, for the benefit of all mankind. 2. in the hope that more people will come out to our meetings, 3. encourage other groups to record and share their wealth too. I also hope to encourage the Perl community to create a central repository where we can all archive this stuff. A place with a lot of disk space, and a lot of bandwidth. If anyone has suggestions, or can volunteer such a web server, let me know. Also I'd like to get feedback regarding the usefulness, or uselessness of what we are trying to do.

First things first: * Can we meet at this day and time in this room? * Can the volunteers bring the actual squeezeboxes to the meeting? I think we had two people who volunteered to bring them in. No squeezeboxes--no meeting. * Should we bring a radio or boombox to hook it up? Details: Slim Devices makes a digital jukebox hardware device and all of the source code running it is open-source perl code. We thought it would be cool to play with one of these devices. Possible loose agenda: * Try to hookup and use the squeezebox from a Mac, Linux, and Windows computer; * Look at the available plug-ins and try them: http://www.slimdevices.com/dev_plugins.html * Maybe try to hack on one of the plug-ins? Hey, it's just Perl code. ========================================== Jim Brandt Administrative Computing Services University at Buffalo From dmagnuszewski at yahoo.com Tue Nov 16 15:22:39 2004 From: dmagnuszewski at yahoo.com (Daniel Magnuszewski) Date: Tue Nov 16 15:22:41 2004 Subject: [Buffalo-pm] November Meeting In-Reply-To: <77384F1A-37DD-11D9-9A5D-000A9588183A@buffalo.edu> Message-ID: <20041116212239.91320.qmail@web21126.mail.yahoo.com> --- Jim Brandt wrote: > First things first: > > * Can we meet at this day and time in this room? > I'll find out tomorrow and give a thumbs up or down.

This meeting won't be a talk; it will be more of hands-on workshop where everyone learns together (bring laptops). We'll start with very simple examples of creating small GUI programs with entry fields, buttons, checkboxes, text fields, etc., and by the end of the evening, through our Perl powers of laziness, impatience, and hubris we will have a fully functional web browser up and running from scratch. Don't believe it? Come to tonight's meeting. Again, bring your laptops. If you have installed Perl on Windows, you almost certainly have Tk. Don't know about Macs and recent releases of Perl for Linux. I'll bring along three reference books to help us through: Learning Perl/Tk, Mastering Perl/Tk, and Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk. Meeting tonight at 242 Bell Hall, UB North Campus, 7:00 PM See you there, Kevin _______________________________________________ Buffalo-pm mailing list Buffalo-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/buffalo-pm --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Here's a final announcement (with floor & room info) for this coming Monday's TPM meeting. I've put a bit more info than usual because I understand that some people from other PM groups (Buffalo esp.) are interested in coming in for the talk. Cheers, Richard Date: Monday 29 November 2004 Time: 6:45pm Location: 2 Bloor St. W. (NW corner of Yonge & Bloor, CIBC Skyscraper) 16th floor, room 9 Note that someone will have to fetch you from the lobby because security locks down the elevators after 5:30pm. Go to the security desk when you arrive to ask for the cell phone # for the TPM meeting -- when you call it, someone will come to get you. Floor & room info will be left at the security desk as well. Parking: You should budget to arrive "in the area" 20 minutes before the talk to find parking and to walk from parking to 2 Bloor St. W. This is a super-busy downtown area with frustrating driving conditions, so be warned. You should be able to find parking garages off of Cumberland St. (parallel to Bloor, 1 small block to its north, running W. of Yonge St.) or at Hayden St. (1 small block south of Bloor, parallel to it, to the E. of Yonge) Topic: Mac OS X and Perl Speaker: Steve Hayman (from Apple) Note that Steve gave a keynote talk on this topic at YAPC::NA 2004 in Buffalo and it was really good! Description: ------------ Every Macintosh ships with Mac OS X and Perl 5.8, but so what? What's this UNIX-based operating system all about, and how does Perl fit in? Apple Consulting Engineer Steve Hayman will review the state of Perl on Mac OS X, and show how it is exactly-almost-kind of-like Perl on other platforms, and demonstrate how scripting on the Mac can be completely "unlike" other platforms.
