[Chicago-talk] Meeting Follow-up

[Joshua McAdams]

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the meeting tonight and also a
very big thanks to Mike and Jonathan for presenting!  Just a few notes
one upcoming events that were announced at the meetings:

1) This Monday, August 28th, is the final of this summer's round of
TechCoffee meetings.  The meetings are downtown at 6:00 a.m.  More
information can be found at http://techcoffee.infogami.com/.  Be there
or be well rested for work :)

2) The Pittsburgh Perl Workshop (http://www.pghpw.org/) is going to be
held on Saturday, September 23rd.  Chicago's own Mike Fragassi and
brian d foy will be speaking there.  I know that Heather and I are
attending.  If anyone wants to go, Amtrak is offering a 2-for-1 ticket
deal where two people can travel round-trip for $102 using coupon
H568.  There is a train that leaves at 5:30 p.m. on the 22nd and
arrives at Pittsburgh at 4:00 a.m.  It then heads back at 11:30 p.m.
on the 23rd and will have you back in Chicago by 8:30 Sunday morning.

3) Pete and Andy have planned out a Perl hack-a-thon scheduled for the
weekend of November 10th, 11th, and 12th.  Chip Salzenberg, the Parrot
Pumpking, will be the guest hacker.  Skills ranging from hard-core
hackers to beginners are all welcome.  Andy and/or Pete will be
trickling out information as they finalize it.

I think that's all of the events so far.  It looks like we already
also have a couple of talks lined up for September's PM meeting...
announcements soon.
