From matt at diephouse.com Wed Aug 4 20:19:32 2004 From: matt at diephouse.com (Matt Diephouse) Date: Wed Aug 4 20:19:40 2004 Subject: [grand-rapids-pm-announce] Perl Mongers This Month Message-ID: <8151C81B-E67D-11D8-A142-000A9567FCE4@diephouse.com> The monthly Grand Rapids Perl Mongers meeting falls on Friday, August 27 this month. The first thing we need is someone to present. Many folks just got back from OSCON: are any of you willing to present on something new you've picked up there? After Damian's "Presentation Aikido" talk, you should all be able to give stellar talks. Presenters are treated to a free lunch. Failing that, suggested topics are welcome. Second, this is my last month in Grand Rapids before I go to college this fall, so a new president will need to be elected at the meeting. Mark it on your calendars. I hope to see you all there. matt diephouse ---------------------- http://matt.diephouse.com From mheusser at charter.net Thu Aug 5 07:06:03 2004 From: mheusser at charter.net (Matthew Heusser) Date: Thu Aug 5 07:06:06 2004 Subject: [grand-rapids-pm-announce] Perl Mongers This Month Message-ID: <3a5840$49pkfl@mxip01a.cluster1.charter.net> >Second, this is my last month in Grand Rapids >before I go to college this fall, so a new >president will need to be elected at the meeting. > We also need a new vice president. Regards, Matthew Heusser, www.xndev.com mheusser@charter.net "Fads become fads when we reduce foundational understanding to regimented formulas which are essentially followed without much conscious thought. A formula for multiplying two numbers is fine because the same formula always works. In an organizational context there are simply to many variables for any formula to be correct. The foundation of action must be understanding tempered with continued reevaluation of the current situation. Anything less has a very high probability of failure." - Gene Bellinger "Rather than attempting to teach people the right things to do, one should design organizations such that doing the right things is simply the path of least resistance" - Buckminster Fuller
