If anyone is interested in writing a proposal for a project, they need to do it soon. If you are a student and you need help writing your proposal, need someone to review it, or even need an idea for a proposal, please let me know and I can help direct you to the right person. The Summer of Code is a program in which students are paid to do a summer project that benefits open source. The trick is that you have to write a small proposal and have it accepted by Google and an open source project.

Quinn, my seven-year-old daughter, was rockin' and showing her uncle Kevin how to play. She was explaining how he had to hold the green fret button AND hit the strum bar right when the green thing crossed the bottom line and once he got it going, and he was able to play "Barracuda," he had a great time. Meanwhile, other friends and relatives were clustered around, watching with fascination. They weren't gamers by any stretch, most in their 40s and 50s, but I could tell they really wanted to try. When Kevin was done, I took his guitar and held it out for someone on the couch. "Here, you try it," I told her. "Oh, no, that's OK, I don't know how, let someone else play," she said, embarrassed. "It's OK, it's fun, and it's easy once you get the hang of it." This broke her defense and she said "OK, what do I do?" taking the guitar from me. She got the hang of it quickly, loved playing three or four songs, and started trying to get her husband to try it. It's kind of like someone standing outside of a swimming pool, embarrassed about jumping in. It's clear that people in the pool are having a great time, but for some reason he feels self-conscious. Maybe he's afraid he's not a good enough swimmer, because he can't do fancy dives off the high board. Whatever the reason, with a little encouragement, whether he jumps in the deep end, or just slowly walks down the stairs on the shallow end, he gets in the water and has a great time, and his friends are glad he's in there with them. Sometimes I talk to people like that standing in Perl. It'll be someone who's been using Perl for years, and loves what Perl does for him, and would somehow like to contribute to Perl, to get into the pool where everyone's having a good time, but he's afraid. Maybe he's got a module he developed that he doesn't think is "good enough" for CPAN (as if CPAN is 100% stellar). Maybe he fears that he's not a good enough coder to contribute patches. Perhaps he doesn't realize that not all contributions to open source need to be code. Or perhaps he just doesn't know where to start. Are you that person? Have you wanted to contribute to Perl, or any other open source project, but just haven't?

I have a module well used at one site and generally applicable to others. It's a Perl wrapper/API for the CA Harvest/SCM version control tool and because I haven't put it on CPAN, I am not able to ease the pain of quite a number of Perl programmers around the world suffering to automate that product (that bothers me). The reason I haven't put it on CPAN are: * I didn't think it was good enough (OK, I'm over that) * I had grandiose plans to expand it to other tools (over that also) * Docs need spiffing up. * I don't have step-by-step instructions in front of me to get it into CPAN - I'm sure that is easy to find. I have a PAUSE account (I'm pretty sure). It looks like I don't have too much of an excuse!

The problem I am trying to solve is that I want to a) write a value to a particular cell, b) allow the sheet to recalculate, c) read the resultant values, d) repeat 200 times. I want to do this in Perl rather than Excel macros because this is someone else's spreadsheet that I am reading for a conversion project. I am guessing that the recalculation part of my requirements would require me to use windows, that is okay, but I would rather use AIX, Linux, or Mac.

I believe that format is obsolete and it was painful to process as you have to maintain counters for rows and columns yourself. Having users enter technical parameters into Excel for automated processing can be nice. Some technicians never code, they already have Excel on their desktop, it's a familiar interface, and it's safer than asking them to maintain data in a properties or XML file. In our case, the parameters were for dev, qa and prod server environments and they fit nicely into columns and rows and you could do things like add cell validation and color coding. Then, we used perl to extract the data.

Old company name is on the door 'Catalyst Systems'. Do not dial up as it will go straight to VM. Text or call me at 773.960.3495 if you have problems. Parking: There is unmetered, metered ($2/hr until 9pm) and lot parking around. I'll bet you can find free street parking nearby around 7. We can start 15 minutes late.

See you there. I guess my presentation topic should be renamed sudo: beginner to expert in 45 minutes. ;). BTW: click edit "Edit Subject" to expose the subject line in gmail. I wonder why Google suppresses it too. seems like a grease monkey script could take care of that. -- Michael Potter On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 4:50 PM, Sean Blanton wrote: > Agenda: > > Pizza and refreshments 7-7:15 > Jon Rockway - 7:15-8 > Mike Potter 8-8:45 > 8:45 - Wrap Up and Move to Local Pub for discussion - suggest Clark Street > Ale House.
