Dear list,

Might any of you know of an establishment in the Amherst area that has
a laptop friendly environment complete with wifi that also serves
(craft) brews?

Much appreciated,

Yes - Pearl Street Grill. I recommend the Canal Street (oatmeal stout) to go with your wireless!

Oh, my bad, you said "Amherst". Pearl Street is downtown and only about a 10
- 15 minute ride from Amherst.

I know there's at least two of us going from Buffalo. There seems to be some
real good talks.

Hopefully I'll see you there!

Please pass it along the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop is fast approaching.

The Pittsburgh Perl Mongers are pleased to announce The PITTSBURGH PERL
WORKSHOP, a two-day, low-cost conference on Saturday and Sunday, October
13-14, 2007.

The Pittsburgh Perl Workshop is an annual conference dedicated to the
Perl programming language. In 2006, the Pittsburgh Perl Mongers hosted
the first Perl Workshop based in the United States. This year, the
Workshop has been expanded to two days. The 2007 Workshop is structured
as a series of short lectures, but the atmosphere is low key and
engaging: the perfect combination to open your mind and then cram it
full of good stuff.

After last year's conference you gave us lots of feedback, and we listened.
* The workshop was expanded to a two-day event to allow for more talks,
birds-of-a-feather sessions, and social interactions.
* A one-day course for programmers with little or no Perl
experience---taught by a world-class Perl trainer---was added.
* The schedule has been improved to allow you more flexibility in
choosing sessions to attend.

Lightning Talks

There's still time to get a third of your fifteen minutes of fame!
Submit your lightning talk today. The deadline for early acceptance is
one week before the conference (October 6). But if you have an idea on
the first day of the conference, we're holding at least two lightning
talk spots until the end of that day. However, you have a much better
chance of being accepted if submit your talk now.

Stay up to date with everything that's going on with the Perl Workshop
by subscribing to our RSS feed at http://pghpw.org/ppw2007/atom/en.xml.

If you are coming to the Friday Social, RSVP at
http://pghpw.org/ppw2007/wiki?node=Friday%20Social.

Full details are on the Workshop Web site at http://pghpw.org.

Hope to see you there.
Robert Blackwell

We ended up going to the University Inn which has the requisite beer
and wifi. We didn't fit in very well with the 50/60 something crowd
however.

After a bit of an overdose on mountain biking this weekend, I decided
to skip the MTB race the weekend of the workshop and go to Pittsburgh
instead.  So I guess that makes three of us going from Buffalo. See
you there!

My preferred variant on that is:  "Don't trust anyone older than RFC 1."

I believe the year I heard this was 1999. :-)

Cheers,

Any update on your impromptu perl class? How'd it go, or haven't you 
done it yet?

Any questions we can answer on the list?

What exactly do you need help with? Curriculum/what to teach? Specific
questions? Something else? Did you receive the email where I sent the case
study of teaching Perl to middle schoolers? If so, did that help at all?

Let me know.

Mongers,

Pittsburgh was a great time, and I'd encourage more people to go next year!
For those of you who could not make it, the speakers will be posting their
slides online and the talks will be available via podcast in the near
future.

One of the issues Mike was having was the simple problem of getting Perl 
actually installed on the lab computers. Since this is somewhat 
important for teaching Perl, maybe we could help by finding details on 
running Perl from a CD or a thumb drive?

I found this:

http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=Portable%20perl%3A%20usb%20thumbdrive

Maybe someone with a windows box could confirm if it works? Or find some 
other solutions? Basically, is there a way to provide perl without 
having admin access on the machines?

According to this:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl-5.6/install.html#installing%20activeperl%20on%20windows%20(x86)

you can install without admin rights, but there are some limitations.
