From tom at eborcom.com Sun Apr 1 06:46:40 2007 From: tom at eborcom.com (Tom Hukins) Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2007 14:46:40 +0100 Subject: Technical Meeting Tomorrow, 2nd April Message-ID: <20070401134640.GB96869@eborcom.com> So, there's a technical meeting tomorrow at the OU. You probably want to know what the talks will cover and how to get there. And I've told you neither so far, errr, to keep you in suspense. It's not that I'm disorganised or anything. So we have the following: * Desperately Seeking a Lightweight Perl web Framework (Peter Edwards) * Testing When You Don't Have Time (Tom Hukins) ...and whatever Barbie chooses to present. This time we're meeting in the Systems Seminar Room at the Open University. Ian has done a much more organised job of arranging things than I have and has booked a room and a projector and provided directions: See links to campus, local and regional maps at the bottom of this web page: http://www3.open.ac.uk/contact/ Enter The OU campus (signposted Open University, not Open University East), via Brickhill Street (V10). Take the middle lane past Security (on the left), through the barriers, and then turn right on to Ring road East. Ahead you will see the road narrows to single lane on your side of the road, where there are no entry signs. Just prior to this is the entrance to a car park on the left (marked East parking extension on the campus map). Take this left turn and head to the top right (North West on the campus map) of the car park. The meeting is in Venables Building, specifically the section marked South East on the campus map. Take the path (marked in yellow on the campus map) East from the car park toward the centre of campus. Take a right under an archway in to the courtyard area bound by Venables South, East, and South East, keeping right (heading North East on the campus map), behind the building section marked South East. You will find a double door on your right, which is the entrance to the South East section of Venables Building. I'll see you there, as these are usually access controlled doors, so you will probably need to be let in. We'll start the talks at 8pm but please aim to arrive between 7.30 and 7.45, particularly if you're not familiar with the OU. See you tomorrow, Tom From r.t.c.norfor at open.ac.uk Tue Apr 3 01:37:42 2007 From: r.t.c.norfor at open.ac.uk (Rod Norfor) Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2007 09:37:42 +0100 (BST) Subject: Technical Meeting Tomorrow, 2nd April In-Reply-To: <20070401134640.GB96869@eborcom.com> References: <20070401134640.GB96869@eborcom.com> Message-ID: Thanks to everyone who delivered the interesting talks yesterday. the testing 'framework' I couldn't remember was Test::LectroTest ( as mentioned in #61 Test with Specifications in Perl Hacks).

Thanks for attending ;) For completeness my slides are online at: Selenium - http://birmingham.pm.org/talks/barbie/selenium/ SDK - http://birmingham.pm.org/talks/barbie/sdk2/ I've updated the slides to the latter from their last outing. Hopefully we can arrange another trip, this time with a few more Brummies in tow, later in the year. Failing that we'll just have to make do with a social night and drink beer ;) Cheers, Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers - http://birmingham.pm.org Miss Barbell Productions - http://www.missbarbell.co.uk From I.A.Cameron at open.ac.uk Tue Apr 17 11:18:21 2007 From: I.A.Cameron at open.ac.uk (Ian Cameron) Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2007 19:18:21 +0100 Subject: Time for another social meeting Message-ID: Hi All, Just a quick message to let you know that the next combined meeting for MK Perl Mongers and MK Linux User Group is due. The next meeting will be on Tuesday 24th of April. We meet in the old Wetherspoon's pub, that's the one near CMK railway station. More details here: http://miltonkeynes.openguides.org/?J.D_Wetherspoon%2C_Central_Milton_Keynes The regulars usually turn up at around 8 pm, but feel free to arrive whenever you find convenient. >From Tom's last social meeting email: "It doesn't matter if you have no interest in Linux, but bear in mind that a few people won't care much about Perl. But we've found there's a significant overlap between the membership of both groups, so we thought we'd meet together." I'll be bring the laminated penguins again, so hopefully we'll be easy to spot. See you there. -- Cheers, Ian.
