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@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.
