Meine SMS scheint dich leider nicht erreicht zu haben. Zwischen mir und 
dem Penthouse lagen ca. 1000 km Fahrtstrecke, an einem Abend hin- und 
zurück einfach nicht zu schaffen. (...ok, nicht mit der mir zur 
Verfügung stehenden Transporttechnik.) Ich hatte deshalb für 
Verschiebung um eine Woche plädiert. Ist nun nicht mehr zu machen, 
deshalb schlage ich für diesen Monat ein Zweittreffen vor.

***Steve Souders at The Future of Web Apps Conference--Oct 3-5
London, UK
Author and Chief Performance Yahoo! Steve Souders (High Performance Web
Sites) will deliver a Developer Track presentation on his 14 rules of
best practices for making web pages faster. He will go into more detail
in a workshop on the last day, expounding on research, case studies, and
performance tools, and advocating a faster user experience for all web
users. These guidelines focus on the front end, for example, why it's
bad to use "@import" for including stylesheets and why ETags disable
browser caching. These best practices have proven to reduce response
times of Yahoo! properties by 25-50%.

***Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene at NYCSPIN--Oct 9
Microsoft, NY, NY
"Head First PMP" authors Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene talk
through the ways that software projects fail, using the signature humor
and insight in the acclaimed "Head First" series. There's an old saying:
"There's only one way to succeed, but a million ways to fail." But that
saying just isn't true when it comes to software projects. As it turns
out, there are a small number of ways that projects fail, and they'll
sound eerily familiar to any project manager, software engineer or
programmer who's been around for more than a few years. Many software
projects that started out as a small, stopgap utility turn into raging
behemoths, sucking seemingly unlimited time from your programmers. Or
the president of your company announced that your project will be done
this week, even though you know that it still has an enormous number of
bugs. Or your team delivered the software, only to have users complain
that an entire feature is missing. Or every time the team fixes a bug,
they seem to uncover a dozen more--including ones that you know were
fixed six months ago. Once you know how projects fail, you can do what
you need to do to keep them on track.

***Calling All Flex Developers
Are you doing any development work (including skinning and UI design)
with Adobe Flex? Here's your chance to be a contributor to an Adobe

Adobe's got a terrific site for Flex developers of any stripe to show
their best stuff, and O'Reilly and Adobe are partnering on a book that
will include some of the best contributions from the site. Each
contribution uses the classic O'Reilly cookbook
"Problem/Solution/Explanation" format; if you've got strong material to
show the rest of the world, it couldn't be easier to write up your
material in the online fields, and join the cookbook party. Flex
developers are in very short supply in an exploding market, so here's
your chance to show your stuff to the rest of the community!

***Linux vs. BSD, What's the Difference?
Linux mavens are usually pretty sure they'll never go back to (or start
using) Windows. They may like Mac OS, but usually don't jump ship for
that either. But how about the other open source Unix descendant, BSD?
Dru Lavigne offers a basic primer on what's different in PC-BSD for a
Linux user, and what's better.

***Schemaless Java-XML Data Binding with VTD-XML
This article introduces a Java-XML binding technique based on VTD-XML
and XPath. This approach doesn't mandate a schema, takes advantage of
XML's inherent loose encoding, and avoids needless object creation, so
it is much more efficient for lightweight data binding.

calendars? Google has a little-known feature that lets you design your
own search engines that will search only the sites you want. Bernard
Farrell introduces us to this useful capability and shows how to set one

Ich hatte die SMS bekommen. Die aus der Kombination aus

 - kein Announcement rausgeschickt
 - Unwissen, ob trotzdem wer kommt
 - dazu erstmal rumfragen müssen
 - zu Hause eigentlich auch gebraucht werden und
 - generellem aktuellen Overflow

induzierte Unentschlossenheit hat mich aber nicht antworten lassen,
einfach weil mir keine Antwort eingefallen ist, die in einen
SMS-Kurztext gepasst hätte.

Ich hätte theoretisch auch nächste Woche (also diese Woche) nochmal
Lust, aber ich weiß noch nicht, wie das bei mir am Donnerstag möglich
ist.

Bis dahin könnten sich ja noch andere äußern, ob sie Lust auf ein
außerordentliches Treffen haben.

Gerne kann jemand auch schon jemand den Wiki-Eintrag modifizieren.

Message-ID: <20071008_100255_088766.mailinglisten@renee-baecker.de>

Hallo Perlmongers,

der Call for Papers für den 10. Deutschen Perl-Workshop läuft schon seit ein paar Wochen. Es wäre schön, wenn sich noch ein paar Vortragsvorschläge beim Orga-Team eingehen würdem. 

Vortragsvorschläge können noch bis 29.10.2007 über die Webseite des Perl-Workshops [1] eingereicht werden. Ihr braucht da noch keinen kompletten Vortrag einreichen sondern "nur" einen Abstract, der beschreibt über was der Vortrag gehen soll. Der ausführliche "Call for Papers" ist auch im Internet zu finden [2].

Der 10. Deutsche Perl-Workshop findet vom 13.-15. Februar 2008 am Regionalen Rechenzentrum in Erlangen statt.

Der Workshop steht und fällt mit den Vorträgen!

Das Orga-Team hat eine (unverbindliche) Liste mit Themenvorschlägen bereitgestellt:

    * Aktuelle Web-Frameworks: Catalyst, Jifty, AxKit2, ...
    * Objektorientierung: Moose, Moose::Autobox, ...
    * Datenbankabstraktion: DBIx::Class
    * SPAM-Abwehr/Erkennung
    * Unicode
    * Perl-IO
    * Perl 6
    * Perl6-in-Perl5-Integration und vice versa
    * "wirklich große" Perl-Systeme
    * Releasemanagement
    * Vergleich von "gleichen" Softwaresystemen (Template-Engines, Wikis, XML-Engines, ...)
    * Verträglichkeit mit anderen Systemen
    * (plattformübergreifende) GUI-Programmierung
    * Erfahrungsberichte zum Einsatz von Perl (z.B. Inbetriebnahme grösserer Perl-Systeme (WebGUI, ...))
    * Grundlagen-Tutorials zu allen Perl-Themen (XML, Web, DBI, ...)

Wenn euer "Lieblingsthema" nicht dabei ist, könnt ihr trotzdem einen Vortrag einreichen. Diese Liste ist ja nicht vollständig...

Gruß,
Renee

           SILC: Secure Internet Live Conferencing

Termin:
    Freitag,
    26. Oktober 2007
    19:00 Uhr

Ort:
    Berufsakademie Dresden
    Heideparkstr. 8
    01099 Dresden

Ankündigung:
    https://www.c3d2.de/news/ta-silc.html
    https://www.c3d2.de/media/c3d2_ta_silc.pdf

Abstract:

SILC ist ein relativ unbekanntes, sicheres, kryptographisches
Internet-Chat-Protokoll. Es ist als Alternative zu anderen Protokollen
wie IRC oder Jabber-MUC anzusehen und wird vom c3d2 schon seit Jahren
verwendet[1].

Der Themenabend soll die Hintergründe des Protokolls beleuchten und
einen Vergleich mit IRC und Jabber ziehen. Im späteren Verlauf soll noch
auf die Architektur des SILC-Netzwerkes und die Details des Protokolls
eingegangen werden. Die Grundlagen der Kryptographie werden ebenfalls
erklärt.

Eingeladen sind wie immer alle selbstdenkenden Lebensformen.

Der Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung ruft auf zur:

Demonstration in Dresden zum Stopp der Vorratsdatenspeicherung

Termin:
    Dienstag,
    6. November 2007
    17:00 - 19:00 Uhr

Ort:
    Dr. Külz-Ring
    Hinterausgang der Altmarktgalerie

Inhalt:

Der Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung ruft am 6.11.07, im Rahmen
bundesweit zeitgleich stattfindender Demonstrationen zu einer Kundgebung
auf dem Vorplatz der Altmarktgalerie am Doktor-Külz-Ring in Dresden auf.
Ziel ist, die Vorratsdatenspeicherung in letzter Minute zu stoppen. Die
Demonstrationen stehen unter dem Motto ?Freiheit statt Angst - Für die
Grundrechte!?.

Anlass für die Demonstrationen ist die Abstimmung des Deutschen
Bundestags am 9. November über den Gesetzesentwurf zur Neugestaltung der
Telekommunikationsüberwachung. Das Gesetz soll ab 2008 für
Sicherheitsbehörden rückblickend über 6 Monate nachvollziehbar machen,
wer, wann und mit welchen Adressen das Internet genutzt hat und wer mit
wem per Telefon oder E-Mail Kontakt hatte, bei Handy-Nutzung
einschliesslich des Standorts. Diese Pläne der Regierungskoalition zur
Aufzeichnung von Informationen über die Kommunikation, Beziehungen,
Bewegung und Mediennutzung jedes Bürgers stellen die bislang größte
Gefahr für unser Recht auf ein furchtloses, selbstbestimmtes und
privates Leben dar. Wir fordern die Abkehr von diesem
verfassungswidrigen Generalangriff auf Bürgerrechte und Datenschutz in
Deutschland.

Deshalb rufen wir alle Bürger auf, am 6. November von 17:00 bis 19:00
Uhr mit friedlichen Protesten vor Rathäusern und Regierungsgebäuden für
unsere Grundrechte einzutreten. Die Kundgebungen knüpfen an die Berliner
Großdemonstration vom 22. September an, welche mit 15.000 Teilnehmern
die größte Bürgerrechtsdemonstration seit der deutschen
Wiedervereinigung war. Wir wollen die Unverhältnismäßigkeit einer
totalen Protokollierung jeglicher Telekommunikation nun in vielen
deutschen Städten deutlich machen und appellieren an die Bevölkerung,
mit ideenreichen Aktionen, Reden und schweigenden Mahnwachen die
Einhaltung des Grundgesetzes von unserer Regierung einzufordern.

Demonstrationen sind bereits in Planung in Berlin, Bremen, Frankfurt am
Main, Bonn, Köln, Leipzig, Karlsruhe, München und Münster. Weitere
Städte sowie Einzelheiten werden auf der Internetplattform des
Arbeitskreises Vorratsdatenspeicherung abrufbar sein. Wir rufen die
Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer an den Kundgebungen auf, Grundgesetze,
Kerzen, Fackeln oder Grablichter mitzubringen.

Wir würden uns sehr über eure Anwesenheit und Unterstützung freuen. Wenn
ihr euch noch aktiv einbringen wollt, sei es durch Materialien,
Redebeiträge, Werbung oder Ideen meldet euch einfach bei uns per E-Mail
oder besucht uns auf dem Stand beim Linux-Info-Tag.
