And yes, we have positions open right now, from team leads/senior Perl developers to more junior positions; we have some full-time spots and some contractor openings.

The Chicago Perl Mongers and The Perl Foundation are proud to announce the Fall 2006 Chicago Hackathon, the weekend of November 10-12, 2006 in suburban Crystal Lake, IL. It will be a round-the- clock weekend of programming on Perl-related projects with your colleagues in the open source community. Dozens of programmers from the open source community in the midwest, as well as others from around the US, will be getting together to share ideas, work on code, and move their Perl-related projects forward. The participants set the agenda for what we'll be working on, but Perl 6 and Parrot are already on the roster of projects. Chip Salzenberg, pumpking for the Parrot project, will be on hand to help with Parrot and Perl 6. Andy Lester will also be driving some Parrot maintenance tasks, and other midwest programmers will be working on their own projects. There's sure to be something interesting for everyone! Participation in the hackathon costs nothing. The Perl Foundation is even providing hotel rooms at a special rate if you want to spend the night. Even if you're in the area for just an hour, stop by, grab a snack or some pizza and talk with other people interested in Perl. You might contribute more than you think just by talking with other programmers. To find out more, visit http://hackathon.info. If you'll be attending, please sign in on the Attendees wiki page, and/or email rsvp at hackathon.info.

In typical American fashion, taking a train is barely cheaper than flying ($130 vs $158), but it takes 8 hours (slower than driving by an hour+). Taking a bus is out of the question. All the discomfort of air travel, but for much, much longer! Yeehaw! As a side note, I just took the bus here in Taiwan from Taipei to Kaohsiung (6+ hours). The bus had a total of 15 seats, each of which was like a La-Z-Boy recliner. Each seat had its own little TV, and attached to it is one of those "100 games in a controller" things that lets you play every Nintendo game ever made (more or less). Total cost: $25 per person one way If we had buses like that I'd take a bus. -dave /*=================================================== VegGuide.Org www.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg.

I love the Empire Builder train between MSP and CHI though - tons of leg room (about what you'd get on an airline if they removed half the rows) and you can get up and walk around or plug in your laptop or whatever. I'd love to come to the hackathon, I'll see whether I can swing it.
