TONIGHT Reminder: hack session - Thursday 20th of Feb 6:30pm

[Scott Penrose]

Reminder that the session is tonight.

For those who can't get a location in time, you are welcome to ring

	Scott Penrose 0417 885 330
	Foo Bard 0439 885 990

Session starts at 6:30.

We need help getting lots of platforms and OS'es up and running (both in
general and with perl installed :)

for example:

RS6000/AIX, HP9000/HP-UX, SGI/IRIX, Sun Sparc/Solaris, etc.

Second point i wanted to make is that not everyone who comes has to
write code, but they are expected to participate and contribute, either
with the 'sys admin' kinda stuff mentioned above, or more in a
'pair-programming' situation where one is on the keyboard and the other
is assisting. (some people won't like that either - many programmers i
know claim they can't program with someone watching them ;)

Please come along, it is going to be great !

Scott
