Subject: [Buffalo-pm] Details on Mark-Jason Dominus Perl talk on Sat 13 May
	2006
Message-ID: <445E0F73.7060100@pobox.com>

Hi everyone,

As I've emailed a few times before, Mark-Jason Dominus (a.k.a. MJD),
noted Perl author, speaker, technologist and community member, will be
giving a public talk in Toronto on Saturday 13 May 2006.  The
finer-grained details are now worked out so I can share them here:


Talk Times:
-----------
Date:         Sat 13 May 2006
Talks begin:  1pm  (arrive approx. 20 minutes early to allow for time to
find parking and to get seated)
Talks end:    5pm


Schedule of talks:
------------------
 * "Perl Program Repair Shop and Red Flags", approx. 2 hours, see
http://perl.plover.com/flagbook/
 * "Perl Contains the Lambda Calculus (How to write a 163 line program
to compute 1+1)", approx. 90 minutes, see http://perl.plover.com/yak/lambda/
 * random grab-bag of fun stuff for 1/2 hour


Location & Public Transit info:
-------------------------------
Room 1208, Stephen E. Quinlan Building (Seneca at York)
On the York University Keele Campus
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=York+University,+Toronto&cid=43723057,-79392486,3945108577140412544&li=lmd&ll=43.774565,-79.494152&spn=0.075734,0.128059&om=1

York University Campus Map:
http://www.yorku.ca/web/futurestudents/map/KeeleMap2005.pdf
The Stephen Quinlan Building is numbered "40".  Note there is a parkade
next door to it.  Parking could be approx. C$10.

Some information on public transit to the York U. Keele campus:
http://www.yorku.ca/yorkweb/maps/keele_directions_transit.html
Make sure you figure out which applies best to you considering where you
are coming from.  Also, remember that this is a Saturday, so various TTC
(and other transit system) services will be running on a different (and
reduced) schedule, especially to a location like a university. 
Toronto Transit Commission:  http://www.toronto.ca/ttc/
(Links to the York Region, etc. transit systems are left as an exercise
to the reader.)


Donations to support the talks:
-------------------------------
Once again the Toronto Perl Mongers have exhibited their great
generosity by making donations to support this trip.  (Thank your fellow
Mongers!) 

A final statement on our fund-raising situation (i.e. if we're under- or
over-budget for the event) will be made at the Saturday talks.  By
arrangements with MJD, any money we go over-budget will be made as a
donation to The Perl Foundation, http://www.perlfoundation.org/  As it
stands right now, I think we're looking pretty good.


Post-talks socialization
------------------------
There will likely be some.  Unfortunately, the York U. Keele campus area
isn't the best for this.  We may find something in that neighbourhood,
or we might relocate back downtown and meet up at a pub / bar /
restaurant / what-have-you somewhere down there afterwards.  An
announcement will be made regarding this during the talks on Saturday
afternoon.

If you are interested in post-talks socialization I would suggest
keeping your evening free and your transportation arrangements flexible,
or at least keep a flexible frame of mind about you. :-)

There might also be other social opportunities that weekend, notably
Friday evening.  If anything looks likely I will make announcements
closer to the time.


Last Minute Updates on these plans:
-----------------------------------
Should anything come up that impacts these plans I will do my best to
email these lists as soon as the new information comes in.  Also, I will
do what I can to make sure that the Toronto Perl Mongers home page,
http://to.pm.org/ , is kept up to date.  I recommend reading your list
email and checking this web page before making your way to the Stephen
E. Quinlan building on Saturday to make sure that all things are still
operating according to the details I mention here.


A note to the Toronto Perl Mongers:
-----------------------------------
This event takes the place of our regularly-scheduled May meeting.  I.e.
don't go to our regular Yonge/Bloor meeting location the last Thursday
of this month, at least not for a TPM meeting.  We also will not have a
regular meeting in June as that time would more-or-less overlap with
YAPC::NA in Chicago.


Questions?
----------
Just email me.  You know where to find me.


Cheers,
Richard

The Stephen E. Quinlan building has the address:  70 The Pond Road,
Toronto, Ontario, M3J 3M6

I have yet to be able to convince Mapquest or Google Maps give me a
correct map location for this building, though.

Try this:


http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=43.7715,+-79.4995+(Stephen+E.+Quinlan+Bldg,+70+The+Pond+Rd,+North+York,+Ontario,+M3J+3M6)&ll=43.771497,-79.499495&spn=0.009452,0.027122&om=1

At least, that's in the middle of the map. Google's maps aren't that
accurate.

I played around with that general approach for a bit, but I finally
figured that between the Google Map for the York U. campus and the PDF
of the campus itself it should be easy enough to find the building.

Mongers,

There's been some problems with the Buffalo mailing list (for some
reason). It appears that everything is back to normal. 

This is also a reminder about the meeting next Tuesday, May 16th. We
need some more people to sign up for lightning talks. It's only a 5 - 10
minute talk on something (no matter how loosely) related to Perl. If you
have something that you would like to talk about, or feel that others
would find interesting, you can sign up below:

http://mfc5.phpwebhosting.com/cgi-bin/bpm.pl?LightningTalks

Don't be shy! :-)

Hello...

Here is a last reminder of the details for the Mark-Jason Dominus talk.  I picked him up at the airport earlier today and he's looking forward to seeing everyone.

Cheers,
Richard

========================================

As I've emailed a few times before, Mark-Jason Dominus (a.k.a. MJD),
noted Perl author, speaker, technologist and community member, will be
giving a public talk in Toronto on Saturday 13 May 2006.  Here are the fine-grained details:

Talk Times:

Hello all,

I know it's very late but I just wanted to see if anyone wanted to
carpool. I figure it's a great way to offset the current gas prices.

Speaking for myself, I am seeking a ride (I'm having car troubles). I
live in Lockport but I can happily make it to any desired pick up
point.

Ben,

I had planned on going, but some things came up for this weekend (wife stuff, Sabres game, etc), so I won't be able to make it.

Are you going to YAPC?

Subject: [Buffalo-pm] REMINDER - May Meeting Is Tomorrow! - Lightning Talks!
Message-ID: <s4688c7f.099@comrcm01intgwia.mandtbank.com>

This is just a reminder about the meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, May 16th.
The meeting will be at 8 PM in Bell 242, UB North Campus. It wouldn't
hurt to have a few more people sign up for lightning talks. It's only a
5 - 10 minute talk on something (no matter how loosely) related to Perl.
If you have something that you would like to talk about, or feel that
others would find interesting, you can sign up below:

See everyone tomorrow!

Subject: [Buffalo-pm] Looking For a YAPC Roommate (sort-of)...
Message-ID: <s471bb55.072@comrcm01intgwia.mandtbank.com>

Mongers,

If anyone is planning on attending YAPC, but has not registered, or
more specifically, has not made lodging arrangements, then feel free to
contact me. I have reserved a double room in SSV (no idea what SSV
stands for, but it is the newer/better of the two dorm types). It is $10
cheaper per day per person if you get the double - so that's what I got.
The person I was originally going to share the double with is no longer
able to attend. Just to clarify (from what I gather) the double's are
two separate rooms, but they share a bathroom. So if someone doesn't
mind sharing a bathroom with me, then let me know. The rooms are
reserved from Sunday until Wednesday, as I will be leaving around 8ish
on Wednesday. The cost will be $55 * 3 nights = $165.

<room_details>

There are two different dorms available, SSV and MSV hall. SSV will be
$65 per night for a single room and $110 per night for a double room.
MSV will be $55 per night for a single room and $90 per night for a
double room. 

SSV is the more modern dorm with full wireless access, etc. This dorm
is built with restrooms shared between adjoining rooms, which means that
you might want to request a specific suite-mate. If you are bringing
your significant other, the University asks that you do explicitly
choose your suite-mates, as they are a little uncomfortable with
mixed-sex residents in this dorm. Of course, if you are brining your
family, you can always just stay in MSV, which has restrooms shared by
the entire floor. The space is somewhat limited, so the rooms will be
booked on a first-come, first-served basis. 

*Note that these charges are per-day.

Any takers?

Double rooms have two beds and share a bathroom with another double
room.  So that puts two people on either side of the bathroom.  I've
yet to be able to word this appropriately.

Subject: [Buffalo-pm] Perl e-book deal from Apress
Message-ID: <44723348.5010700@pobox.com>

Hi everyone,

In case people haven't noticed this on use.perl recently, there's an
interesting Perl e-book offer from Apress, 5 titles for $50.

http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/18/0557242

The marketing person responsible for this was a supporter of the
YAPC::NA that TPM hosted last summer and she asked me to pass along the
message.  And they're good e-books at a good price, so it sounded okay
to me. :-)

Cheers,
Richard

Message-ID: <49d805d70605312111r364c211cg60d5aabd0e050efb@mail.gmail.com>

Hi there fellow Perl Mongers.  I'm writing to remind you all that
YAPC::NA is only a few weeks away.  The conference will be held in
Chicago June 26th through 28th and will feature four simultaneous
sessions of Perl talks for three days in addition to a job fair,
banquet, and auction.  After the conference Damian Conway, Randal
Schwartz, and brian d foy will be sticking around and conducting
professional training classes and extremely reduced prices.

This email is a little spammy (sorry about that), but I just wanted to
remind you all about the conference and also ask for your help in
promoting it so that we can fill up the few spots that are remaining.

For more information check out http://www.yapcchicago.org.

We invite you to put up posters:

  http://yapcchicago.org/yapc_poster_white.pdf

Or maybe a web banner:

Thank you for your help in making YAPC a success once again,
