There have been some recent developments on the YAPC::NA front, and it has been suggested to us that a reminder might be helpful to some people, so here's a quick summary of the event. Summary ------- YAPC::NA 2005 (Yet Another Perl Conference, North America) in Toronto, Canada, Monday - Wednesday 27 - 29, June 2005 Home page: http://yapc.org/America/ Conference Location: http://89chestnut.com/ A facility of the University of Toronto Accommodations -------------- Normally registration information would come first, but accommodations are the bottleneck -- our main group reservation (at the conference hotel) expires at the end of the week, and as the conference approaches it will be extremely difficult to find a hotel anywhere in the city. Info on how to book at: http://yapc.org/America/accommodations-2005.shtml Registration ------------ Register now! :-) We are on track to break attendance records at YAPC::NA this year, and we could even sell out before the conference starts. The price for the full 3 days is USD$85. We keep it insanely low through many generous sponsorships and the all-volunteer organizational and speaking crews. Registration info: http://yapc.org/America/register-2005.shtml Direct registration link: http://donate.perlfoundation.org/index.pl?node=registrant%20info&conference_id=423 Conference Speaking Schedule ---------------------------- We've got an excellent selection of talks and speakers for Perl programmers of all levels, beginner through expert. We are fortunate enough to have presentations coming from some of the most recognizable names in Perl programming today, including Larry Wall, Chip Salzenberg, Dan Sugalski, Autrijus Tang and brian d foy.

Hopefully that's because everybody is hard at work; I know that's the case with me. So it looks like Kurt and I were the only 2 to volunteer for the template engine demo. Given that we have not secured a location with proper AV equipment and that I have had no time to create a sample template, I suggest that we have a planning/social meeting this month at Jackson's Java and postpone our template demo until June. What say you?

BTW, for those of you who have not attended a meeting yet, just because we are calling it a social doesn't mean we don't talk Perl or have laptops to test/show off code samples. Also, one of the critical issues our group is facing is finding a good meeting space to hold technical meetings. This means a conference room that can hold up to 20 people with a decent projector and screen (trying to read text off a wall is not easy). I'm trying to work with a student at UNCC to reserve a room for June.

For this month, we will be holding a planning/social meeting at our usual digs. Come join us at Jacksons' Java to talk code and plan the upcoming meetings of your local Perl users' group. One of the topics will certainly be templating, so bring any questions or code examples that you have. Also, if you work at a company that can provide a meeting space or are a student at UNCC who would be willing to help secure a meeting room on a regular basis, please let me know. So far, I've have had one offer from the south Charlotte area. See you at the meeting, William McKee What: May Perl Mongers Meeting When: Thursday May 19th, 7:00 pm Where: Jackson's Java For more information, contact William McKee at william at knowmad.com or by phone at (704) 343-9330.

Pierre, It's a bit early to be asking about a ride to the June meeting. Try asking the week of the meeting when everyone has a better idea of what their schedule will be. William -- Knowmad Services Inc. http://www.knowmad.com From william at knowmad.com Tue May 24 06:16:47 2005 From: william at knowmad.com (William McKee) Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 09:16:47 -0400 Subject: [Charlotte.PM] The Template Challenge Message-ID: <20050524131647.GS1383@knowmad.com> Mongers, It's time for the Template Challenge. The idea is to show off the syntax and capabilities of the various template engines used by group members to learn new tricks and techniques. At the meeting last week, we drew up a sample HTML page which each template must generate along with some sample data. I've taken this data and placed it into the DATA section of a script which you can use to process your template. In addition, your template should calculate the total number of records and display its name (version optional). All templates must output accurate results based on the data but feel free to embellish the markup. We'll run the submissions and compare the results at our June meeting including checking for valid HTML/XHTML syntax so run your output through tidy or the HTML Validator at W3C[1]. So far, here are the list of entries: Template Engine Champion(s) --------------- -------- Petal William M Template Toolkit Kurt W Text::Bind William M Popular engines without champions: HTML::Template Text::Template Mason If your favorite is not in the list or does not have a champion, please use the attached templates to submit an entry to the mailing list. Feel free to submit an entry for an existing engine; after all, there's more than one way to do it. Play as often as you'd like. I'm looking forward to seeing the results at our next meeting on June 16th (location is still being determined, stay tuned!).

I'm a member of the Atlanta list and it is low traffic so I thought I'd join your list as well. I currently live in Buford, GA and have been in Atlanta since 1994. I'm originally from Lincolnton so I'm a native of NC. I graduated from Bessemer City in 1993 and moved to Atlanta to go to college. For some odd reason I've not been able to escape this place and come back home. Chris
