Subject: [Buffalo-pm] Yet Another Perl Conference final details
Message-ID: <mailman.81.1115782667.8742.buffalo-pm@pm.org>

Hi everyone...

There have been some recent developments on the YAPC::NA front,
and it has been suggested to us that a reminder might be helpful
to some people, so here's a quick summary of the event.

Summary
-------

    YAPC::NA 2005 (Yet Another Perl Conference, North America)
    in Toronto, Canada, Monday - Wednesday 27 - 29, June 2005

    Home page:  http://yapc.org/America/

    Conference Location:  http://89chestnut.com/
                          A facility of the University of Toronto

Accommodations
--------------
Normally registration information would come first, but
accommodations are the bottleneck -- our main group reservation
(at the conference hotel) expires at the end of the week, and as
the conference approaches it will be extremely difficult to find
a hotel anywhere in the city.

Info on how to book at:

    http://yapc.org/America/accommodations-2005.shtml


Registration
------------

Register now! :-)  We are on track to break attendance records
at YAPC::NA this year, and we could even sell out before the
conference starts.  The price for the full 3 days is USD$85.
We keep it insanely low through many generous sponsorships
and the all-volunteer organizational and speaking crews.

Registration info: http://yapc.org/America/register-2005.shtml

Direct registration link:

http://donate.perlfoundation.org/index.pl?node=registrant%20info&conference_id=423


Conference Speaking Schedule
----------------------------

We've got an excellent selection of talks and speakers for Perl
programmers of all levels, beginner through expert.  We are
fortunate enough to have presentations coming from some of the
most recognizable names in Perl programming today, including
Larry Wall, Chip Salzenberg, Dan Sugalski, Autrijus Tang and
brian d foy.

Summary -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/summary.html

Day 1   -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day1.html
Day 2   -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day2.html
Day 3   -- http://yapc.org/America/schedule-2005/day3.html


Lightning Talks
---------------
These short (5 minutes each) talks, presented by the conference
attendees, are a YAPC tradition.  If you're interested please
read more about them and sign up:

Subject: [Buffalo-pm] [Fwd: announcing the YAPC Volunteer Sign-up List web
	site]
Message-ID: <42893B1C.3040001@cogeco.ca>


Mongers in Buffalo and KW are probably close enough to possible
help out and volunteer during this years YAPC, so I'm sending this out
so you can find out what jobs are available, and let you sign-up to help 
out...

------------------------------------
TPM now has a web based signup list to allow people
to signup to existing identified tasks, that need to be performed
_during_ the conference. It also allows you to add new and
previously un-identified tasks to the lists to allow people to
volunteer for them too.

So far, we've identified a number of tasks that need to be performed
during each time slot. Including on Sunday before the conference starts.

I think the mechanism is sorta self explanatory...

1/ Pick a day,
2/ Pick a slot and see what tasks there are, and who's name
if any are already beside it.
3/ Push the edit button.
4/ Fill in your name (AND press enter or edit so it updates the
 screen with any of your current assignments)
5/ Select (or de-select) the task you want to volunteer to
do during that time slot.
6/ Push "Apply".

If there are other tasks that need to be done during each slot,
then there is a place at the botton of the 'edit' page that
allows you to add another task. It will automatically be made
available in every slot for people to sign-up to.

You can also 'delete a job', but use it with care because
it deletes the whole job and all assignments... NOT just the ones
with your name.

If you add the person name of   N/A   to a job in a slot,
that job name will be made 'invisible' in that slot.
Use it when you've added a new job, but want to make
it 'not applicable' in a particular slot.

For example:

 The job of 'Emcee' during lunch and break times has been
 assigned to  N/A  because we don't need that job/slot
 combination, and it would just clutter up the display.

There is also a Wiki page (and reference at the top level)
to point you to the web resource. Please update that Wiki
page to describe the duties of each task, when you add a
new task.

The signup page is at:
  http://hew.ca/yapc.html

(click on the various days at the top of the page to
view each day.)

Nothing about this appears to be perl-specific, but I thought there 
might be some overlap. Feel free to pass it along further if you know 
anyone who might be interested.

Subject: [Buffalo-pm] Perl Job Op
Message-ID: <Pine.SOL.4.56.0505311030570.3259@yeager.cse.Buffalo.EDU>

Hello,
	I was asked about finding a programmer for a perl job that is
available so I thought I would post a little note for you guys.  It is a
contract to possible full time opportunity.  The company has an
application that is written in Cobol (yeah thats right I said it ) and
needs to be "converted" to perl.  I am not sure about the size of the app
or what it does.  If you are interested and would like more information
than the little bit that you have gotten by reading this message then
feel free to email me at canzoneri at nexserver.com.  Put something like
"Perl Job Op" as the subject so you don't get e-spam-inated.

Thanks,

OK, for a while at least, no one can complain that there are no good  
jobs around here. :)

My department at UB (Administrative Computing Services) currently has  
an opening for a full time programmer. Some details here:

http://jobs.perl.org/job/2639

I've read some postings recently about how employers should better  
promote their jobs, so I'll try to add some key points here:

1) We have a very good work environment. It is cubes, but it's fairly  
quiet and the office is spread out.

2) You can work for a good cause. If you went to UB, maybe you want  
to give something back. Many of the things we work on directly impact  
students, so you can help the next generation of computer users.

3) The benefits are fantastic. You would be hard-pressed to find a  
better package of sick/vacation/insurance coverage in this area or  
anywhere in the US.

4) And I save the best for last: you get to work with Perl! That's  
right, we use Perl as our every day enterprise programming language.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Jim

I don't think that the "giving back" part would be the selling point. I think it would be the fact that instead of UB stealing all my money, they would finally be giving me some back ;-)
