at cPanel.

Any ideas or opinions?

Greetings,

Brainstorming some ideas:

   1. Perhaps this would be a good time for a YAPC (errr I mean "The Perl
   Conference") wrap up?  I know how much Todd *loves* talking about YAPC
   (double errr TPC)!
   2. Another round of picks/lightening talks could be interesting!  I am
   confident a number of us could do 5-10 minute talks about cool new toys
   we've found.
   3. We could always go Social this month.  It's been awhile since we got
   together for that sort of meeting.
   4. If anyone has a game they are looking to automate, a round table
   discussion on clever solutions to the problem would be fascinating.  We
   could even further discuss WordBrain ( now on CPAN
   https://metacpan.org/release/Game-WordBrain ) but it may be challenging
   to find more low hanging fruit.
   5. Hackathon - Several of us have modules on CPAN that need some work,
   for those that do not currently have any CPAN modules we could help them
   get a PAUSE account and release ACME::(pause id)::MyFirstModule.  Idea
   shamelessly stolen from brian d foy.

Any opinions/favorites from the above list?  I vote for picks/lightening
talks but any of the above sound like great fun.

Best Regards,
Robert Stone

Most to least preferred, I'd put the options you've given in this order:

2 3 1 5 4

I can definitely put together a lightning talk if we go that route.

You didn't mention your preference though.

Well, so far we still seem to be lacking opinions.

Let's try narrowing it down by looking at JD's top two, lightning talks
or social meeting.

I could probably come up with a 5-10 minute talk if we have enough
people to make it worthwhile. Any other takers?

If we don't have a solid idea before Tuesday, we'll need to fall back
to a social meeting.

Any other volunteers?

I would like to do a hackathon.? I would like to see the process. I would like to pick up a module one day and I think it would help to see what you guys do when picking up a module to help enhance or take ownership of it.?? It is probably too late to plan/do this option this month, but maybe in the future.

Message-ID: <20160711160321.0776124c@cannibal>


One possible meeting topic: Applying Functional Programming in 
Perl5 & Perl6:

<https://duckduckgo.com/?q=yapc%3A%3Ana+2016+lembark&t=ffsb&ia=videos&iai=7zHwNymO7BE>

My version:

<http://www.slideshare.net/lembark/neatly-foldingatree-62637403>

With Damian's slides added:

<http://www.slideshare.net/lembark/neatly-hashing-a-tree-fp-treefold-in-perl5-perl6>


Keyword::TreeFold is on CPAN now if anyone wants to see how it works.

One interesting hackathon-ish topic: Using keywords to simplify non-
OO code.

Face it: Not everything is most easily programmed with an object. Many
objects are really only there to manage a namespace for function calls
(i.e., the object itself has minimal/no really tighly-bound data). At
that point a Topical Language may make more sense, which is easy to
do with Keyword::Declare.

Functional programming (sans objects) makes good sense for several 
classes of real-world problems. Managing boilerplate to standardize
Perl5 code for FP is relatively easy (see talk).

Even easier in Perl6 since things like lazy lists are already built
into the language.

I know this is off topic for Perl, but I thought I'd throw it out anyway because learning functional methods and programming styles will make you a better Perl programmer. (How's that for a future talk topic, Wade? Not sure I can make the meeting this month, but maybe August...)

Last fall I was pretty excited about a free online OCaml class presented by the University Paris Diderot. If you missed out on that, they are offering the class again this fall. Classes start September 26, but registration for the course is open now.

I encourage you all to consider signing up.  OCaml is a fast and fun language to learn, and it has a very practical approach to using strong types that is much more intuitive than the type systems you might be familiar with from Java or C#.  OCaml byte code compiles into platform native executables on par with the speed of C++.

The course is six weeks long, all the course materials and videos are in English (even though it's based in France. :)

For more information or sign up, visit here: https://www.fun-mooc.fr/courses/parisdiderot/56002S02/session02/about


Cheers,

Mark

P.S. It's been a while since I plugged my group here, soooo if you're interested in FP, I run the Houston Functional Programming meetup. You can learn more here: http://www.meetup.com/Houston-Functional-Programmers/

hi all,

here are a couple of perl readings that should be of interest to your
groups.

slashdot did an interview with larry which is getting raves (even on
slashdot!). of course the ironic thing is many slashdotters despise perl
even with slashdot running on perl!

Message-ID: <20160721222505.7baf8258@cygnus>

It seems like only a week ago we were having our July social meeting,
and now it's time to look for a presentation for August. My, how time
flies.

Any volunteers or opinions for next month's meeting on August 11 at
Hostgator?

If we would like to do lightning or short talks, or try a hackathon as
was suggested for the last meeting, we have enough time to get
organized for them this time.

Let the list know or contact me personally.

Still pretty interested in talking about how programming Perl in a functional way will make you a better Perl programmer.

I'd also be up for expanding my article about regex complexity and Perl optimization work since 5.10 to the current day into a full blown talk.?https://gist.github.com/mrallen1/8bc1381ab30ae28701644b0a487ad1b2

Either of your suggestions would make great talks. Propose a title
for one (or both) and I'll put you on the schedule.

Dang it - I forgot I will be out of town August 11. ?Maybe I can do one of these topics for September.?

Mark has suggested he would be able to do September, but we are still
missing someone for August. Any suggestions?

Anyone willing to do a short 5-10 minute presentation? If we could get
4-6 of those together, we would have a reasonable topic for the month.

Trac expressed interest in a hack-a-thon type meeting last time. Any
interest?

If we're doing short presentations, I'm happy to do a short presentation on what's going on with the Perl CVE-2016-1238 with a example of how it can be exploited (no recordings though)

Still looking for short topics. Anyone else want to make a suggestion.

Remember, programming topics aren't the only possibility. Robert
Stone's lockpicking talk comes to mind.

If you think the group might be interested in it, we probably would.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Has anyone coded an AI in Perl?
