Thanks, Mike Canzoneri From mikecanzoneri at gmail.com Tue Mar 8 12:32:52 2011 From: mikecanzoneri at gmail.com (Mike Canzoneri) Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2011 15:32:52 -0500 Subject: [Buffalo-pm] Updates: New Site and Future Meetings Message-ID: All, There are a couple of things we spoke about at the last meeting that need to be vetted on the list. First, we have moved the site from the default location to a Blogger site. This will make it easy for us to allow multiple people to update the site, provide a feed of content, and provide any other modern web features that static html pages do not offer. Check out http://buffalo.pm.org to see it. We will add some more content soon. Second, we have been having the last few meetings at the local Hackerspace (Is it Makerspace yet?) and have become painfully aware that the local PHP meet-up is at the same time and place. So I would like to propose that we move to a different evening (or even morning) than the second Tuesday of the month. If anyone has thoughts on a location besides the Hackerspace feel free to mention that as well. Synacor has offered to host and provide food if we are interested. Feel free to offer up some thoughts and we will try to pick a time that works for as many of us as possible.

There's a bunch of talks, slides, and code that I'd like to see Let's make it the last Tuesday of the month. Literally every other group in the area has their meetings the second Tuesday of the month (no idea why). Also, I think we should hold the meetings at Hackerspace. -Dan On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 3:32 PM, Mike Canzoneri wrote: > All, > There are a couple of things we spoke about at the last meeting that > need to be vetted on the list. > > First, we have moved the site from the default location to a Blogger > site.

I also second the motion for Last Tuesday (Buffalo Lab member meeting is 4th Tuesday, but little conflict in terms of time or space when they coincide). I can't compete with free food, but we could set up a barrel in an empty lot, throw some pallets in and make a fire, cook some beans (in a can, use my P-38) ... good times! -----Original Message----- >From: Dan Magnuszewski >Sent: Mar 9, 2011 2:06 PM >To: Mike Canzoneri >Cc: Buffalo Perl Mongers >Subject: Re: [Buffalo-pm] Updates: New Site and Future Meetings > >Is there an easy way to get the old content over to the new site?

I can understand his point, since that is about how often we effectively meet. But if we didn't TRY to meet monthly, would we even meet quarterly?? Then again I can understand that he's been carrying most of the load on presentations to the four of us that actually show up (or even contribute to this list). Not sure there's much compooting goin' on in the swamps of Amherst these days (is there even a Computer Science department there anymore?), but now that Buffalo Lab is on Main Street, with convenient rail access, there's no reason students and presenters from uB, Canisius, and other local colleges can't make to a meeting, and even contribute something! Or are we all sitting on our butts collecting the unemployment dole? How about a Lightning Talk session? Fourth Tuesday in April (that's the 26th, according to my paper-based calendar, that I can access faster than on a Schmartiefone). Lightning talk, look it up, it's the perl-ish thing to do. Buffalo Lab, it's real, it's open, we got space, we got chairs and the new projector has arrived!
