Die PerlMongers waren diesmal als erste da und haben sofort das Feld besetzt. Markus hatte das neue Perl Magazin mitgebracht. Außerdem glänzten Sie durch Mitbringen von Ansteck-Pinguinen. :-) Der Abend war aus meiner Sicht nett und anregend, obwohl wir über alles Mögliche statt über Perl und Linux geredet haben. Egal! Die schlechte Nachricht ist, daß die oben erwähnten "Mongers" nur aus Markus Monderkamp und meiner Wenigkeit bestanden. Da war es im Prinzip gut, daß noch ein paar LUGer da waren, so daß wir insgesamt 7 Personen waren. Dennoch stellt sich die Frage, ob das so bleiben muss. ALSO, AN ALLE, DIE DAS HIER LESEN! Warum wart Ihr nicht da? Ist das feste Treffen in Krefeld doof? Sollen wir wieder woanders hin? Ist die LUG Krefeld doof? Wollt Ihr nur über Perl reden? Ist die Form als "Stammtisch" doof? Bin ich doof? ;-) Oder war's nur ein einmaliger Aussetzer, weil Karneval gewesen war? Woran liegt's? Es kann doch nicht sein, daß Ihr jetzt alle PHP programmiert, oder?!? ;-) > Ich wollte den neuen O'Reilly mitbringen, habe aber leider einen > geschäftlichen Termin an dem Abend. Hechel!

(Auch meine Aktivität im > Sportverein hat stark gelitten, war lange nicht mehr da.) Da haben wir drüber gesprochen. Alle anwesenden Monger (also 2) waren sich einig, daß es schön wäre, wenn Du die Position des "Ansprechpartners", d.h. Mail-Adressaten noch weiter halten würdest, weil keiner der Anwesenden sich spontan bereitgestellt hat. Dennoch wäre es bestimmt möglich, das man Deinen "Job" mal analysiert und ein paar Sachen, die Deine Zeit fressen, auf die Gruppe verteilt. > Liebe Gruesse, > > Regina Grüße, Thomas Bayen ___________________________ Abmelden: Mail an majordomo@hfb.pm.org mit dem Text: unsubscribe niederrhein-pm From wichmann at uni-wuppertal.de Thu Mar 4 10:46:56 2004 From: wichmann at uni-wuppertal.de (Ingo Wichmann) Date: Wed Aug 4 00:04:14 2004 Subject: [nr-pm] =?ISO-8859-15?Q?Re=3A_=5Bnr-pm=5D_Treffenbericht_/_Grupp?= =?ISO-8859-15?Q?enleiterproblem_=5Bwar=3A_Re=3A_=5Bnr-pm=5D_Tref?= =?ISO-8859-15?Q?fen_am_1=2E_M=E4rz=5D?= In-Reply-To: <40474DEA.50604@bayen.de> References: <40474DEA.50604@bayen.de> Message-ID: <40475D80.7090301@uni-wuppertal.de> Thomas Bayen schrieb: > Warum wart Ihr nicht da?

Das Buch ist ganz Ok, weil es ziemlich in die Tiefe geht. Das meisste kann man sich aber aus den Perldocs unterhalb von Template::Manual schnell selber zusammenlesen. Die mitgelieferte Doku ist ganz ausgezeichnet. /me dachte, dass man mittlerweile TT als Burner an Mason ankleben kann. Hab' ich das verwechselt?
