If anyone would like to volunteer to plan the April meeting please get in touch with me. This basically means finding a speaker for the meeting. I will send the announcements and arrange for food.

I'd like to say they are "Best Practices", but in many cases, it'll be obvious that there are indeed better ways. The various things I'd like to show may include: - Code that looks good, but may have unexpected results - Code that I know is bad and I'm looking for ways to do it right - Subtle changes in code to improve performance - Discussion of how to use some of the cool features of Perl - Anything the audience may want to throw in - Other things we may encounter before Apr 21st. If I just get up there and talk by myself, It would probably take about 5 minutes. If we get good audience participation, we could probably chew up 30-60 minutes pretty easily. So, I don't want to volunteer to talk for the whole evening, but I would like to at least get some time to talk about the above issues.

The application used perl to scrape through a formatted web page provided by the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority. Response from the public was great. Response from the DDA - not so much. We have been labeled a security threat and forbidden from viewing their site. The information (including the email from the DDA and my response) can be found here: http://www.voiptechchat.com/voip/255/a2dda-blocks-asterisk-parking-data/ Thanks, Fred Posner fred at teamforrest.com Main: +1 (212) 937-7844 Direct: +1 (503) 914-0999 www.teamforrest.com From bhess at techrg.com Sun Mar 22 07:24:45 2009 From: bhess at techrg.com (Bill Hess) Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:24:45 -0400 Subject: [Detroit-pm] [Fwd: [pm_groups] TPF in Google Summer of Code!] Message-ID: <49C64A2D.1090200@techrg.com> Hi all, Please forward this to your local groups. The Perl Foundation has been officially accepted into the Google Summer of Code 2009 program as a mentor organization! Hopefully some of you have identified some potential students already. Now we need your help getting them to submit their proposals. http://leto.net/dukeleto.pl/2009/03/tpf-accepted-to-google-summer-of-code-2009.html The student application period begins Monday, March 23rd and runs through April 3rd. (Students note: you can edit your proposal throughout that 11-day period -- getting it started early and talking to potential mentors greatly increases your chances vs throwing it over the wall at the deadline.) See this page for details: http://code.google.com/soc/ Interested students and potential mentors, please read the GSoC info on the Perl wiki: http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc_2009_projects If you're interested in mentoring or have a good project suggestion, now is the time to get your info up on the wiki so students will know about your code and where to find you.
