[Canberra-pm] Canberra-pm Digest, Vol 38, Issue 5 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[John.Hockaday at ga.gov.au]

Hi Michael,

My main interest in this list is help with some code or use of packages.  So
far this list has been very helpful so I would like to see it continue.  I
don't have much interest in meetings unless there is a specific topic that I
like.  Therefore I would like to see an agenda before any meeting.  My main
interest is XML technologies.

Thanks to all for their support.


John

All the Canberra PMs...

Given the interest at last meet, I believe the Canberra PM group has good
prospects to continue meeting up and what-not. I would be happy to contribute
to the mailing list if there is no-one currently maintaining it (not sure
what this involves though...).

I think Paul's idea of a project would be a great idea to get this started,
and would provide an ongoing focus for further meetings. 

Before we start booking conference halls however, It would be good to get a
count of people who are serious about getting involved (either in a regular
PM meet, a project or both).

If anyone has any bright ideas of an interesting project they would like to
see happen, speak up. I think something that is based on the web (or at least
has a web front-end) would be great, as the little experience I have had with
Perl and the web (CGI::Ajax, SOAP::Lite) has been really fun, doesn't involve
anything too hardcore or obscure, and can involve people of all skill levels.
In particular, using JSON to pass complex data structures back-and-forward
between Perl and Javascript is the bomb!

I would also like to hear some ideas on the format for any PM meet up....do
we organize training sessions, talks, workshops, or just ad-lib it on the
night? So if you have some particular area of interest or a topic you want to
discuss, speak up!

Hope to hear from you all..
Cheers
Michael

 

G'day Everyone,

Thanks for everyone who turned up for my talks last night.  I wasn't
expecting such a large audience (we ran out of seating), or such enthusiasm
for my presentations.  ;)

I do remember that I had a couple of people ask me about volunteering to
help with the care and feeding of Canberra.pm.  If you're still interested
in doing so, speaking up on the list is the best way to get started.

One of the things that Paul Wayper discussed at the pub the idea of
Canberra.pm / PSIG working on a project together.  This e-mail is partially
to remind you of that idea, to kick off any conversation.

Finally, if you spoke to me at the meeting, and I said I'd do something, and
I haven't yet, then I may have forgotten.  Please drop me an e-mail, or, if
you use hiveminder[1], send me a task at pjf at perltraining.com.au .

Cheerio,

       Paul
