I did some digging on the library web sites, and I think the best we can do is Thursday 11 September from 6:30-8:00 at the Nokomis library. (When I say "best", I mean "first available evening slot on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday at a central venue with sufficient capacity".) But we'd need a projector. If someone can commit to providing a projector for that date, and the people who've volunteered to provide talks can commit to being there, then I'll go ahead and book that slot. If anyone can find a better time slot or location, then do let me know.

My name is Leonard Miller, I work at the University, and helped plan and execute Frozen Perl 2008 (FP08). Last year at about this time Dave Rolsky, myself and several others started planning for FP08. I am calling for volunteers to help us put on Frozen Perl 2009. The tentative date for the event is Saturday Feb 7th. If you are only interested in just helping a little, or if you want to help in every aspect, please come to our kickoff meeting and find out how you can help. Even if you only have a small amount of time available, or cannot help on February 7th, Please come and find out if there is something you can help with. We will be meeting on Thursday August 21st, 8:00pm at Common Roots Cafe on Lyndale in Minneapolis http://www.commonrootscafe.com/ or google maps: http://tinyurl.com/CommonRoots Our agenda for the meeting, will include: * Introductions * Venue & Date * Timeline of events (registration, call for speakers, caterer orders, etc) * Sponsors * Tentative Budget * Individuals roles * Registration Rates * Theme of the workshop * Future Meeting times/places If you are interested in helping out, but cannot make this meeting, please email me, and we can find out how you can help.

I'll start corralling speakers now - we have a few who've volunteered, but I don't know who will actually be available. I'd really like some people who haven't spoken before to come forward - if you'd like to speak, please let me know. Even if you don't have a topic in mind - I can suggest a few simple talks. Furthermore, I'm aware that we've had problems in the past with non-Wednesday meetings. I'd rather not book a room for thirty people and have five show up - if nothing else, it's a waste of the speakers' time. So, I've hacked up a little "sign up" sheet widget: http://www.indecorous.com/perl/mplspm/ Don't need names, but if you can say "yes", "maybe", or even "no" that'd be useful. I've added a box where you can leave a note, if you feel moved to do so.

I don't remember the theme having a huge impact on our decision making for talks last year. Personally, I think for a regional workshop, we should lean more towards intro and practical talks anyway, just because of who we have as an audience. -dave /*========================== VegGuide.Org Your guide to all that's veg ==========================*/ From ian at indecorous.com Fri Aug 15 13:35:06 2008 From: ian at indecorous.com (Ian Malpass) Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 15:35:06 -0500 Subject: [Mpls-pm] happening In-Reply-To: <48A5BDB4.5070600@indecorous.com> References: <3301479702.847371@mail.messagingengine.com> <48A35B8B.2050505@indecorous.com> <48A5BDB4.5070600@indecorous.com> Message-ID: <48A5E87A.2020800@indecorous.com> Ian Malpass wrote: > I have now, and we're good to go.

OK, we have Dave giving a talk on Fey::ORM, and John giving a talk on using Perl testing utilities with Scheme. I think that should fill up our hour[0] well enough, with the usual Q&A and banter. So, as long as attendance figures mean it's worthwhile, that'll be your technical meeting. Ian [0] We have 6:30 until 8:00, but the library actually closes at 8 so we need to be done a little before then, and the chances of us starting bang on 6:30 are... slim.

So I'm planning an hour's usable time. Actually, my talk runs at least 30 minutes, and maybe longer.

Esoteric and "fun" talks are all very well, but a full day of them would be a bit much. Plus, Perl has a bit of a reputation for being line noise, so having anything much about golfing might be considered bad PR (quite apart from being not a great deal of use to most people). Perhaps call for talks and if a theme appears then go with it.

I'd also point out this is a great thing for lightning talks. While I don't want to see 20+ minutes on "making crazy shit with Perl" I do appreciate a good 5 minute talk on that subject. -dave /*========================== VegGuide.Org Your guide to all that's veg ==========================*/ From autarch at urth.org Sat Aug 16 12:32:00 2008 From: autarch at urth.org (Dave Rolsky) Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:32:00 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [Mpls-pm] Frozen Perl mini-documentary on Current Message-ID: Unfortunately, Current fucked with it a bit and added random bogus information, but it's, uh, mostly good! http://current.com/items/89141442_code_a_thon_decoded -dave /*========================== VegGuide.Org Your guide to all that's veg ==========================*/ From autarch at urth.org Sat Aug 16 13:10:27 2008 From: autarch at urth.org (Dave Rolsky) Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 15:10:27 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [Mpls-pm] Frozen Perl mini-documentary on Current In-Reply-To: <1218916125.3214.1268980599@webmail.messagingengine.com> References: <1218916125.3214.1268980599@webmail.messagingengine.com> Message-ID: On Sat, 16 Aug 2008, Mpls-pm at pm.org wrote: > Hey Dave.
