[Buffalo-pm] Buffalo PM Summer Schedule

[Daniel Magnuszewski]

Nice article! 
 
I did catch a typo though (you may of already caught it as well):
 
"His second goal was to create assistive technology for people with disabilities the was freely available, since many products are prohibitively expensive for families."
 
I'm assuming that you wanted to say "that was freely available..."
 
Sorry if you've already caught this error.
 
I'd really like play around with pVoice a little more. Perhaps we could go into that during an upcoming meeting. Along those lines, I still haven't figured out my problem with that "slashtalk" program (that reads slashdot to you) and perl2exe. Perhaps we could talk about that as well - using perl2exe to make perl Win32 executables.

Thoughts?

I know, I've been slacking, but here is a proposed schedule at last...

Wednesday, June 15

Wednesday, July 13

Wednesday, August 10

Based on some feedback, I've moved the meetings to Wednesday. Most 
people didn't care about the day, but a few didn't like Thursdays, so 
there you are.

No one had a problem with the location, so can we still get the room, 
Dan?

Now we need topics!

Some questions to help find topics:

1) Is there anything someone would like to see covered?

2) Could we do a beginner topic each session? Spend maybe 30 minutes 
on it. Info for beginners and others can chime in on other ways to do 
it, etc. Also, we can rotate who covers the info.

3) Ideas for summer sessions:

* PerlMonks overview;
* More on GUI programming with Perl;
* Conference summaries for YAPC and OSCON;
* Perl 6;
* Cool modules;
* Good coding practices with Perl;
* How to write a Perl module;
* Installing Perl on Unixy systems and on Windows;
* Installing Perl modules;
* Testing;

So if you have any thoughts, please reply with:

* Comments on the proposed days;

* Offers to present at a session (and which one);

* Another comments;

Final note: Some folks had problems with the digest option on the 
list. I checked the settings and all looked OK, but that doesn't 
explain the problem. This list is *very* low traffic, so I would 
suggest just converting to normal mode.

Thanks,
Jim
