This could be your current employer, former employer, places you interviewed with, companies where your friends work, or companies you just heard about. Our goal is to promote the Perl ecosystem in and around LA, helping both the local companies and local Perl developers. We would also welcome links to the site if you care to help promote this project. You can follow this project on Twitter: http://twitter.com/perldotla We've started collecting information about each company including: - Company web site - Link to job postings - Address with link to map - LinkedIn page - Twitter account If you can think of other features that would be useful, we're building a list of potential enhancements. Thanks to Campus Explorer (my company and currently hiring Perl developers) for helping out by sponsoring the moderately expensive domain registration. -- Eric Hammond eric at perl.org From szabgab at gmail.com Tue Jan 18 01:47:39 2011 From: szabgab at gmail.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 11:47:39 +0200 Subject: [LA.pm] Attending and/or volunteering for SCALE 9x!

He hasn't scheduled the hands-on demo courses, needs to confirm hardware first. So I may still be on the hook for a dancer dev talk.

Listing upcoming Perl events would be great. I have a flier for advertising local Perl Mongers, I was thinking of adding the date/times of the 2 Perl Presentations to it. > We could also help by arranging a shipment of wooden round tuits > if you think that makes for a good joke. > http://www.flickr.com/photos/44203237 at N07/4357947858/in/set-72157623437904012/ I think those would be more popular at a Perl event, but they make for a good joke nonetheless.
