Message-ID: <6ee1e6090606051021mca97419m1d558e6edb0a57c5@mail.gmail.com>

I've setup a wiki intended to keep track of all we're doing in preparation
for YAPC Houston. This is my first wiki to ever set up, so if you encounter
problems, please let me know.

We can use this page to keep one another abreast of the progress we're
making towards making YAPC Houston 2007 a reality. I'm not sure if we have a
*leader* yet, but perhaps someone with some understanding of what all has
been done and what yet needs to be done can begin documenting our progress
(or lack thereof) on the wiki. I think once the group sees what's been done
and what needs to be done it will help put everything into perspective,
especially those of us new to conference organizing. Also it will give
everyone an opportunity to take ownership of a task or two, spreading out
the work among everyone that wants to participate.

Good. Fast. Cheap. O'Reilly Launches PDF Guides

As part of O'Reilly Media's commitment to delivering vital technology
information to people who need it, when they need it, O'Reilly is
launching an ongoing series of PDF publications to address cutting edge
technologies. O'Reilly's PDF guides are in-depth, immediate, timely, and
authoritative. Readers can purchase and download the PDFs through the
O'Reilly online store, with no restrictions on the ability to save, copy,
or print them.

The advantages to readers are numerous. O'Reilly authors can disseminate
crucial information as the need arises, without having to wait for enough
material to fill an entire book. Production time is reduced dramatically,
giving IT professionals and others immediate access to the knowledge they
want. Plus, readers can easily search the text, copy and paste handy bits
of code into their applications, and take the PDF with them even when
they're offline. But most importantly, readers won't have to compromise in
their pursuit of timely information--these PDFs provide the high-quality
content for which O'Reilly has come to be known.

This month's PDF offerings are available now:

"Build Tag Clouds in Perl and PHP" by Jim Bumgardner
First popularized by the web sites Flickr, Technorati, and del.icio.us,
these amorphous clumps of words now appear on a slew of web sites as
visual evidence of their membership in the elite corps of "Web 2.0." This
PDF analyzes what is and isn't a tag cloud, offers design tips for using
them effectively, and then shows how to collect tags and display them in
the tag cloud format. Scripts are provided in Perl and PHP.
ISBN: 0-596-52794-2, 46 pages, $9.99 US, $12.99 CAN
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/tagclouds/


"Web Services on Rails" by Kevin Marshall
In recent years, web services have become increasingly useful to smaller
web site developers.  Thanks to standards like SOAP and XML-RPC as well as
frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, developers can easily create web service
clients and servers with fewer errors. This guide looks at how Ruby on
Rails makes building web service clients and servers simple and fun, with
plenty of working examples and code details so you can see just how
everything works.
ISBN: 0-596-52796-9, 32 pages, $9.99 US, $12.99 CA
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/websor/


"Atlas UpdatePanel Control" by Bertrand Le Roy and Matt Gibbs
The key to making ASP.NET applications more responsive to user input is
the UpdatePanel control. In this tutorial, you'll learn from the experts:
Bertrand Le Roy, UpdatePanel control's architect and developer, and Matt
Gibbs, Atlas dev team manager. This PDF document contains all you need to
get started implementing AJAX functionality in existing ASP.NET
applications.
ISBN: 0-596-52747-0, 56 pages, $9.99 US, $12.99 CA
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/atlasupc/


"Search Engine Optimization" by Harold Davis
SEO--short for Search Engine Optimization--is the art, craft, and science
of driving web traffic to web sites. Whether your web site depends on
broad, general traffic, or high-quality, targeted traffic, this PDF has
the tools and information you need to draw more traffic to your site, and
build your bottom line. Youll learn how to effectively use PageRank and
Google itself--effective use of SEO means understanding how Google works:
how to boost placement in Google search results, how not to offend Google,
and how best to use paid Google programs. Youll also learn how to best
organize your web pages and web sites, apply SEO analysis tools, establish
effective SEO best practices, and much more.

I don't think talking about Subversion will take the whole meeting, so I'm 
going to bring in my "Higher Order Perl" book, and talk a bit about caching 
and memoization.
FYI, HOP is a very good book, and does an excellent job of explaining the 
material, but it it is advanced material.

This is what Randal Schwarz had to say about it:
"If you think closures are cool now, go get a copy of MJD's 'Higher Order
Perl'.  That book makes *my* head spin...  it's taken three readings
to really start to grasp what he's managed to put into the book.

That's great!  I've added some information to the wiki.  It took me a
little bit to learn how to use it (I've never used a wiki), but I think
I've gotten it down now.  I think the wiki's going to be great in
helping organize the information.  Like you mentioned, everyone will be
able to see what's been done, what needs to be done, and can offer as
much help as they want.  It will also allow people that may not want to
take full ownership of something, to contribute.

 

Thanks again for setting it up!

 

Jeremy

Yeah, it's good stuff--especially if you've dealt with CVS. (Subversion is, 
in some ways, a rewrite of CVS--kind of a "let's separate the wheat from the 
chaff, and go from there.")

I finally got the OK to register!!  I'm now registered and staying in the MSV on campus.  I'm just waiting on the person in our department who handles flight booking to book my flight (either today or monday).  Flying out Sunday afternoon, returning Wednesday night.  YAPC here I come! (can you tell I'm excited?)  I know that Will is going (it'll be my first YAPC, too), is there anyone else?

Message-ID: <0EFEDF9D507FF6409CE7B4D24B20E7BF0120D3A4@xchng.msc.tamu.edu>

I've decided that we might need to consider having a PR person (or two)
for interacting with possibly conference venue staff, hotel staff, and
anyone else that we may need to be contacting.  I've made contact with
Janet Heitmiller, Director of Community Relations & Conferences at the
University of Houston Downtown (Heitmillerj at uhd.edu), but decided that
someone with better social skills than me may better serve the role.
Or, maybe we can designate someone to be 'our' contact person for
various aspects of the proposal.  Something such as having a person or
two be the contact for hotel information, a person or two be the contact
for venue possibilities, etc.  Or have a mix-and-match of the following:

* Hotels and accommodations

* Venue(s) (includes conference facilities, on-campus housing options,
on-campus dining, etc.)

* Houston promoter in general (answers the question, Why Houston?)

* Sponsorship

* Discounts (including airfare, hotels, restaurants, etc.)

 

Or maybe we continue like it is and just have people make contact when
needed.  Thoughts?

What is the extent of your contact with Janet at UHD? I can pickup where you
left off. I don't claim to be a 'PR person', but I attend  UHD and know a
few professors in the CIS/CS departments that may help us get more leverage
with UHD.

I'll also contact a travel agent friend of mine to see what he can do as far
as discounts on airfare, hotels, restaurants, etc.

I'll report any progress made both on this list and on the wiki.

That's great!  I'm going to send you what I sent her so far (I'll send

Just wanted to let you know that I've transitioned from CVS to
Subversion as a result of Paul's presentation.  The use of directory
copies in place of metadata for branching and tagging sounded odd at
first, but it's very sensible once you get used to the idea.

I remember having the same problem when I first tried Subversion. But it works
so well, that I can't argue with it.

G'day Perl Mongers!

The Open Source Developers' Conference is an Australian conference
designed for developers, by developers. It covers numerous programming
languages across a range of operating systems.  We're seeking papers on
Open Source languages, technologies, projects and tools as well as   
topics

go tak e a look. Jeremy has done a great job of getting information and such
on the site.

If there are any items that you can think of that need to be covered or if you
have information to cover any of the todo items, please update the site.

Thanks again to Jeremy.

Thanks Wade.  Thanks to Will too for getting the wiki setup.  And thanks to you, as well.  I'm in Chicago at this year's YAPC right now.  They've posted a section their wiki about 'Suggestions for Next Year'.  I don't know how much of it will help with our proposal, but it will surely help once we win the bid.  I went to a 'Hosting Next Year's YAPC' group session yesterday.  It was good since it gave me a chance to meet the previous (and current) hosts and let them know that we're interested in submitting a proposal.  We have about a month to get a proposal written up and submitted.  I'll try to start working on some of the 'fiscal' aspects of the proposal.  I'm not budget genius, so if anyone else has an interest, let me know.  I think the main thing on the fiscal end is to be as thorough as possible.  We need to show that we've done our research.
 
I hope to make it to the July meeting there so I can have a chance to meet everyone.
 
Thanks again to everyone that has been helping out.  
 
Jeremy
