Successful projects like Linux, Apache, Subversion, Perl, Ruby on Rails and thousands more still have development methodologies, and have lessons for non-open development shops. Andy Lester will be presenting what he sees as the lessons for managers from open source projects, and then leading a discussion with the group. If you lead a team or manage a department, this meeting is for you. As with all Chicago Perl Mongers meetings, everyone is welcome, whether or not you consider yourself a member. We look forward to seeing you there! Questions about this meeting? Ask on the chicago-talk at pm.org mailing list, or send email to andy at petdance dot com.

LaSalle, Chicago, IL RSVP: By noon on Sept. 25th to "pkrawczyk" with "doubleclick.com" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kent will be talking about getting started with unit and functional testing using everyone's favorite language, Perl. Additionally, he will talk about code quality, test coverage, and making things a lot easier on the person doing the testing using a Makefile. Finally, Kent will talk about how he used Test::Builder::Module to create a custom test module in order to be able to unit test the code in use at his job, which is a template framework that combines Perl code with HTML, making traditional unit testing rather difficult. Kent Cowgill has been a Perl programmer and system administrator for over a dozen years. Recently, he's written a large test suite for a legacy system, using reverse engineering, namespace manipulation and several Perl modules (such as Test::MockObject, Devel::Cover and HTML::Lint).

Anything that helps you do your job is worth mentioning, and we'd like you to talk about it. Andy Lester will be talking about ack, his grep replacement, and OpenKomodo, which just got release as open source. Now we need YOUR help. What tools do you use? vim? emacs? TextMate? BBEdit? Eclipse? What about other tools, like Ant? CruiseControl? We want to hear from you. A 10-15 minute demo is all you need to do to help spread the love. We especially want to hear from the UniForum people! If you'd like to talk about your favorite tool, let Andy Lester know at andy at petdance.com. Even if you don't have a laptop to do a presentation on, we can work something out. As with all Chicago Perl Mongers meetings, everyone is welcome, whether or not you consider yourself a member.

We would love to have you come and spend time with us if you're available! Where is it? ---------- BarCamp is happening at the Schlitz Park Center, 1555 Rivercenter Drive in downtown Milwaukee, on the river's edge. I was in the meeting space the other day and the whole Schlitz Park and 3rd Street areas are getting revitalized. There's a great energy down there. Here's a map to where BarCamp will take place: http://tinyurl.com/37udgp What is BarCamp all about? ------------------------ It's a space and a place where people interested in learning and sharing can hang out, and learn with others who want to learn and share. BarCamp is a free event but there are also no passive attendees -- we encourage everyone to share something with the group -- whether expertise, knowledge, passion about a topic or simply helping out during the event. http://barcampmilwaukee.com/getting-started How Much is it? -------------- It's totally free! There will be food and camping space provided for attendees who need a place to crash on Saturday night, though you can drive home, or attend just Saturday, or just Sunday, whatever suits your schedule. If you decide to camp, just bring a pillow and a sleeping bag. :-) Free T-Shirt with Registration! -------------------------- Register, and you'll get a cool t-shirt for free: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1403125149&size=l IMPORTANT: It's critical that you sign up by Wednesday, September 26th, and be sure to include your shirt size! Once we take the art and shirt info to the printer on the 26th, there's no guarantee of getting a t-shirt! I would love to have you come to BarCamp Milwaukee 2. It's going to be a great time of learning, sharing and getting to know all kinds of different, interesting people from Milwaukee and the Midwest.
