I called the library and canceled. My apologies to those who were all set to go, and especially to Dave and John. I'll see about setting up another mini-survey to try to gauge why the meeting on the 11th was a bad thing, and when a new meeting would work.

The Pittsburgh Perl Workshop 2008 is the perfect opportunity to share your ideas, code, and projects with masses of code-loving Perl hackers. Shouldn't you have a speaking slot at this year's event? Shouldn't you experience the full, PPW-powered glory that only speakers can know? Of course you should! Haven't you ... done interesting stuff for Perl? written cool code? seen the future of Perl? got a story to tell? got a trick to share? In fact, if you have anything to say that would interest Perl people, we want to hear you say it! Just go to http://pghpw.org and submit a talk proposal. It's that easy. But don't delay. Get your proposal in by 12 September 2008 -- or else you might miss out. Seize the day! Own the fun! Submit a talk proposal for PPW 2008 now! * Classes This year we are offering three great classes: Dan Klein is back teaching From Zero to Perl. http://pghpw.org/ppw2008/zerotoperl.html Peter Scott - Maintaining Code While Staying Sane http://pghpw.org/ppw2008/maintainingcode.html brian d foy - Mastering Perl http://pghpw.org/ppw2008/masteringperl.html * Hack-a-thons We are having a Rakudo, (Perl 6) hack-a-thon. -- Request pm.org Technical Support via support at pm.org pm_groups mailing list pm_groups at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/pm_groups From kenahoo at gmail.com Wed Sep 10 08:28:11 2008 From: kenahoo at gmail.com (Ken Williams) Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 10:28:11 -0500 Subject: [Mpls-pm] happening In-Reply-To: <48BD93E1.1000408@indecorous.com> References: <3301479702.847371@mail.messagingengine.com> <48A35B8B.2050505@indecorous.com> <48A5BDB4.5070600@indecorous.com> <48ADDBE4.5040300@indecorous.com> <48B77438.70101@indecorous.com> <48BD93E1.1000408@indecorous.com> Message-ID: <6a7ee8cc0809100828k43e945c3o4d7d6aaa554a2a66@mail.gmail.com> The web page still says we're meeting on the 11th, we should update that ASAP. -Ken On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 2:28 PM, Ian Malpass wrote: > I called the library and canceled.

I'd love to see you there if you can make it: What: Open Source Rich Internet Applications and Appcelerator (Training and Discussion Session) Where: Bloomington Sheraton Hotel (http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/property/area/map.html?propertyID=1493) When: 9/23/08 from 9:00am to 12:00pm Presented By: Appcelerator (http://www.appcelerator.org) Questions? Please contact Kevin Whinnery (kwhinnery at appcelerator.org ) Event Details: The Appcelerator development team is holding a free discussion forum and workshop around open-source Rich Internet Application development using the Appcelerator RIA framework. The event will consist of two parts. The first will be a survey of popular open source RIA frameworks and an exploration of their approach to common RIA programming tasks. Looking at a simple use case implemented in GWT, Adobe Flex, jQuery, and Appcelerator, we will examine and discuss the various strengths and weaknesses of these frameworks for RIA development. The second part of the presentation will focus on learning the basics of creating Rich Internet Applications with Appcelerator. In addition to a simple demo application, attendees will be encouraged to experiment with their own ideas during a free lab session. Appcelerator core developer and author of the upcoming "Appcelerator In Action" (http://www.manning.com/whinnery) Kevin Whinnery [ that's me ;) ] will be on hand, facilitating the discussion and answering questions during the lab session. No sales spiel and no hassles - this event is focused on getting developers some exposure to a very cool open source product (Apache licensed, so it is free as in beer). While the event is free of charge, space is limited. If you are interested in attending, please register at http://training.appcelerator.com/#_minnesota . Also, this event is BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop), so while we will try and have hardware on hand for the lab session, it will be better to bring your own machine (if possible) to follow along (and for experimentation purposes). Thanks, and we hope to see you on the 23rd! -Kevin Whinnery Appcelerator core developer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'd appreciate it if you could forward at least some of the details of these onto your groups. The projects are:- Perl Certified Hosting Free Perl Course Project Perl Donation (from everybody) Perl Certification (Please note you need to remove the ** from the domain names, this is because they were being picked up an inaccurate filter) Details below:- Perl Certified Hosting The idea for this project was put forth by Amias of Bristol & Bath Perl Mongers. We are creating a Perl Certified Hosting scheme that will be open for all hosting companies to join. Requirements will include a set list of web related Perl Modules and proper webserver configuration. Please visit the site:- http://www.perl**certifiedhosting.com For more details and to get involved with helping this scheme become a reality. Free Perl Course Project The idea in this project is that every Perl programmer teach at least one other person to code. Be that a family member, friend, work colleague, employee, friend of a friend, or even friend of an employee. Following the success of the Free Perl Course offered by Bristol & Bath Perl Mongers this project has been started to encourage other Perl groups and programmers to do the same. Please check out the site:- http://www.perl**project.org Perl Donation (from everybody) This scheme has been started with the aim to give the Perl 6 development budget a big boost. http://www.perl**donate.com Please take the time to make your small donation. The aim is that we all make a small donation so that it amounts to a lot. Perl Certification I've been starting a Perl Certification list, this time not for debate, but for actually starting a certification scheme. I know this can be a very touchy subject, but we'd like to put together a working solution that people can evaluate. http://www.perl**cert.com Lyle ** Must be removed from all domain names -- Request pm.org Technical Support via support at pm.org pm_groups mailing list pm_groups at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/pm_groups From rimbu002 at umn.edu Tue Sep 23 14:17:25 2008 From: rimbu002 at umn.edu (Alina Rimbu) Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:17:25 -0500 Subject: [Mpls-pm] Frozen Perl 2009 - Request For Sponsorship Info Message-ID: <48D95CE5.80607@umn.edu> Hello, I am one of the Frozen Perl 2009 organizers and I would like to ask you for your help with finding contacts for some of our prospective sponsors.
