We've got plenty of time to think up ideas. Tom ----- Forwarded message from Michael Kr?ll ----- We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the YAPC Europe 2007 in Vienna, Austria, 29th to 31st August 2007: http://vienna.yapceurope.org/ye2007/cfp.html The theme for this year's conference is "Social Perl", which we hope will inspire submissions for this and related topics. If Perl has helped you or your company to get people together, or if you can report how Perl is "social" to other programming languages, or how Perl may profit from inspirations from other languages, we'd like to hear about it. Although this is our main topic for the conference, it will not be the only one, and as such we will also be accepting talks on just about any theme. Types of talks include 20 or 40 minutes talks, 60-90 minute tutorials, or 3 hour Hack-a-thons, BOFs or Workshops. Please submit talk proposals via the conference web site until Sunday, 27th May 2007. A Call for Participation will follow in a few weeks. Please forward this CFP to potentially interested speakers.

Yeah -- the PDF has the slides (full page) and then it has the slides + notes. I couldn't work out how to get OpenOffice to export just the slides + notes pages as PDF.

Some of us find it very useful as an alternative to the traditional Subversion or TortoiseSVN view of the repository. It only took half an hour for me to get it running as plain CGI and a little longer to write a custom filter. I really like its filters: ours looks for text of the form ticket#\d+ in commit messages and replaces them with a hyperlink to the ticket of that number. Simple filters don't require much more work than writing a regular expression. Having SVN::Web gives every commit its own hyperlink, which I often use in email, IM or on our Wiki. Of the modules I've started using recently, SVN::Web is up there with HTML::Tree in the "I really like this" category. (Message sent for the benefit of readers who haven't yet installed SVN::Web, not to boost Nik's ego..) Tom From tom at eborcom.com Sun Jan 28 12:39:51 2007 From: tom at eborcom.com (Tom Hukins) Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2007 20:39:51 +0000 Subject: Meeting on Tuesday 30th January Message-ID: <20070128203950.GA21891@eborcom.com> Happy New Year! Our first meeting on 2007 takes place in the usual pub, Wetherspoon's near Milton Keynes railway station: http://miltonkeynes.openguides.org/?J.D_Wetherspoon%2C_Central_Milton_Keynes After a two month break I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and hopefully meeting a few newcomers too. These meetings take a laid back form, where the conversation meanders around whatever topics we happen to find interesting. Perl usually takes a significant part in our conversation, so it's a good occasion to ask questions or share ideas. I'll arrive around 8pm, but feel free to arrive whenever you find convenient. If you think you might not recognise us, please ask off-list for my mobile number. I'd also like to thank everyone who got involved in 2006. I'm really surprised how well this group has worked out: we probably have Britain's third most active Perl Mongers group at the moment. I've enjoyed the discussions on the list, having a few drinks in the pub (even when the pub was closed!) and I'm especially pleased we've held some good technical meetings. We've not only had a few well-known visitors come and talk to us, it's also been good to see a fair proportion of us talking about the interesting things we do with Perl. So, I'm looking forward to more of that in 2007! See you on Tuesday, Tom
