Subject: [grand-rapids-pm-list] BarCamp Grand Rapids -- Aug. 15, 16

Rule #1 of BarCamp: you DO talk about BarCamp.

http://barcampgr.org/

We're proud to announce Grand Rapids' third BarCamp. BarCamp is a technology
& design unconference where the campers (you) determine what's on the
schedule. These ad-hoc unconferences are intense events with discussions,
demos, and a chance to interact with fellow attendees. Anyone with something
to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to
participate.

WHEN: Friday evening, August 15 and Saturday, August 16

WHERE: Calvin College -- North Hall, 2nd Floor

COST: Free! But everyone is encouraged to present something and be involved,
even if you're never given a talk before.

WHAT: ??? -- ultimately each camper has an opportunity to help determine the
content.

You can register and find out more information about BarCamp Grand Rapids
at http://barcampgr.org/, or about BarCamps in general at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp


Highly recommended by your humble president,

Jason Porritt

Hello, persistent Perl patrons.

July
----------
This month's Grand Rapids Perl Mongers meeting is going to be a social
outing held at Bombay Cuisine.  Feel free to bring your questions, or
just come to hang out with us and fill up with flavorful food.  Yes,
this is tomorrow -- sorry for the late notice.  Please RSVP so I know
how many people to expect.

When: Friday, July 25 @ 11:45
Where: Bombay Cuisine -- 1420 Lake Dr SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49506

August
--------------
Grand Rapids Perl Mongers will not have a regular meeting in August.
Instead, we highly recommend attending another event that we're
participating in: BarCamp Grand Rapids.  I'm sure you've already seen
the announcement, but for the curious:

Rule #1 of BarCamp: you DO talk about BarCamp.

Top 5 Reasons To Come:

5. No sales pitches disguised as keynotes (JavaOne anyone?)
4. You control the content
3. Finally! A summer camp for geeks.
2. Free food
1. Code and caffeine

September
-------------------
We will resume our normal meeting schedule with training of some sort.
 We welcome requests, suggestions, or offers to share something
yourself.

Your Perl-y prez,
--Jason
