Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] Call for Talks - 2011 February
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=dnU+osBOXTAtPY+oK=jRjF4WrC--WgJTrPRwx@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everybody,

Our Glasgow.pm next meeting will be on 2011-02-10, the day after the
second Wednesday of the month, at the usual venue.

I was very happy to see a large number of us at the last Edinburgh.pm
social, and hope one day to have a similar amount of people for the
technical meeting as well.

It can't quite happen unless we have talks, though.

As usual, I'm poking around to see if anybody is volunteering for any talks :)
A 5-minute lightning talk is always welcome, of course.
We may even have a lightning talk bingo if there are enough. Pints of
beer for prizes.

I'll bring some news regarding the Edinburgh Dynamic Languages
conference, and possibly a talk about the SSH honeypot I've set up,
along with some nice graphs.

I look forward to seeing you next week on Thursday for our monthly meeting.

Till soon,
-marco-

Hi all,

I have not been able to prepare the talk and will not be able to do so
by Thursday; has anybody else got a technical talk to bring? So far
nobody came forward so to my knowledge there will be no technical
talks.

Due to that, I would be inclined on cancelling the meeting as we have
no technical talks.

Would you be willing to meet anyway for an evening at the pub, or
would you rather we skipped this month's meeting altogether?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon

A bunch of us are going to Donald Knuth's talk in the early evening, and
were planning to watch films at my flat afterwards. You would be very
welcome to join us.

I won't be able to come because Donald Knuth is at Glasgow Uni on
Thursday night, and my department is organising it. I guess some of
the other Perlers might be there as well.

Dunno if anyone might be interested in this.  I've been to a few of the SSCL
talks and they are normally interesting.  It's normally about 99% suited
lawyers and me looking like the spare part.  It's typically distinctly slanted
to lawyers, so don't expect any in jokes about kernel compilation or functional
programming here.  That said, I enjoy them.

I can't find venue details, but it's normally in some central law company
offices.  Quarter Mile or the High Street kinda areas.

Changing direction ...

I have a presentation to do for glasgow.pm's next meeting on 10th March ...

I want an HTML/JS/CSS based presentation tool.  I've thus far failed to find
one I like.

Any recommendations?

I quite like these:

    http://slides.html5rocks.com/

    http://leaverou.me/ft2010/

But both appear to be custom/bespoke, and not based on any existing open source
project.  I'd prefer to avoid yak shaving here.

Also, I'd like to be able to convert the slides into PDF or similar, and I'm
sure I came across a tool a few years ago that would do these things, but I'm
stuffed if I can remember what it is now.

Anyway, what's hot in (html based) presentation software these days?

Bonus points for anything that I can force to use my preferred font face, as I
want to give Futura a spin.  Typekit appears not to have that one, so I'm
guessing I might have to buy it for my mac ... (I'm happy with the notion that
I only get Futura on my presentation if the presentation is running on my Mac
btw).

Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] Call for Talks - March 2011
Message-ID: <AANLkTimRCaAW_RMaoThFVCpsgxqvP9Kg0VDQtX4k7Q2t@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

The time for another technical meeting is due soon.

According to the website[1], we are due for another technical meeting
on March 10th[2].

So far we have the following talks scheduled. Please reply (or fork
repo/send pull request) in case you would like to bring another talk
or a lightning talk.

Murray will bring a lightning talk about minimising the HTML on his
personal homepage.
I will bring a talk about Dancer and maybe squeeze in some bits about
PSGI apps deployment (djb's daemontools, plackup, starman, mod_perl et
similia).

Others mentioned they could bring another lightning talk, but I would
like to hear from them if that's still going to happen.

Lightning talks are a wonderful way to start ;)

Till soon,
-marco-
