It will be a round-the- clock weekend of programming on Perl-related projects with your colleagues in the open source community. Dozens of programmers from the open source community in the midwest, as well as others from around the US, will be getting together to share ideas, work on code, and move their Perl-related projects forward. The participants set the agenda for what we'll be working on, but Perl 6 and Parrot are already on the roster of projects. Chip Salzenberg, pumpking for the Parrot project, will be on hand to help with Parrot and Perl 6. Andy Lester will also be driving some Parrot maintenance tasks, and other midwest programmers will be working on their own projects. There's sure to be something interesting for everyone! Participation in the hackathon costs nothing. The Perl Foundation is even providing hotel rooms at a special rate if you want to spend the night. Even if you're in the area for just an hour, stop by, grab a snack or some pizza and talk with other people interested in Perl. You might contribute more than you think just by talking with other programmers. To find out more, visit http://hackathon.info. If you'll be attending, please sign in on the Attendees wiki page, and/or email rsvp at hackathon.info. You can also send questions to Andy Lester at andy at hackathon.info Please feel free to forward this to whichever groups you may find appropriate! -- Andy Lester => andy at petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance From andy at petdance.com Thu Aug 31 07:24:56 2006 From: andy at petdance.com (Andy Lester) Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 09:24:56 -0500 Subject: [Chicago-announce] BarCampMilwaukee Message-ID: From one of the organizers: http://barcampmilwaukee.com If you missed BarCampChicago (or had a great time at BarCampChicago) you might be interested in BarCampMilwaukee.
