From eric at uc.org Wed Oct 13 05:45:47 2010 From: eric at uc.org (fishbot) Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 08:45:47 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [kw-pm] Probe: Lightning talks? Message-ID: We are considering a set of lightning talks for October or November. I am looking for a show of hands for people who are interested. We are generally very loose in our definition of lightning talks. Target should be something between 5 and 10 minutes, maybe creeping to 15. 3 to 10 slides, generally, but slides are not required. Topic doesn't need to be constrained to Perl. Any computing topic is interesting to most for at least 5-10 minutes ;) October meeting: Thurs, Oct 21, 7pm (a week tomorrow) November meeting: Thurs, Nov 18, 7pm Please contact me offline if you are interested, and when you would be able to present. Cool, thanks, fishbot From ushnish.sengupta at gmail.com Sun Oct 17 14:30:28 2010 From: ushnish.sengupta at gmail.com (Ushnish Sengupta) Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2010 17:30:28 -0400 Subject: [kw-pm] Announcing SocialTechCampToronto Saturday Oct 23rd Message-ID: Apologies for any duplicate postings, but would love to have some projects from KW Perl Mongers presented.

We have our regularly scheduled Perl Mongers meeting this Thursday. We're meeting in the regular spot, Davis Centre room 3323 on the U of W campus. See http://kw.pm.org/ for location details. It will be Lightning Talks, or at least somewhat-faster-than-usual talks. There will be quick displays of awful production code, and a public code-review of hopefully-not-awful production code. And at least one surprise talk. -- As usual, pizza list is: http://kw.pm.org/wiki/index.cgi?PizzaList (sponsored by our regularly semi-randomized @anonymous donor[s]) Please sign up by 5:30pm Thursday for your pizza.
