The Perl marketing team made a good impact at FOSDEM earlier this month: http://szabgab.com/blog/2010/02/1266052953.html Clayton ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniel Magnuszewski Date: Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 10:36 AM Subject: Re: Perl Booth at BSDCan To: TPF Marketing I heard back from Dan Langille who is running the conference and he said that we can have a booth (free of charge) and asked if we could in exchange advertise the conference. http://www.bsdcan.org/2010/help.php I'm assuming that this will not be a problem as we'll want to promote the fact that people should stop by and visit us at the conference. Does anyone have objections to this? Is anyone near Ottawa that would like to help? -Dan ----- Original Message ---- From: Daniel Magnuszewski To: TPF Marketing Sent: Mon, March 1, 2010 3:07:56 PM Subject: Perl Booth at BSDCan I added this conference to the "Events Wiki". Is there anyone on this list who plans on attending BSDCan in May? I would like to attend, but I'm not positive that I'll be able to make it up there. If I can make it, then I would like to run a Perl booth similar to what we had at FOSDEM. I sent the organizers an email to see what the process will be, but I figured I'd see if anyone is planning on going. http://www.bsdcan.org/2010/ -Dan -- Clayton Scott clayton.scott at gmail.com From champoux at pythian.com Thu Mar 4 10:11:34 2010 From: champoux at pythian.com (Yanick Champoux) Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 13:11:34 -0500 Subject: [Ottawa-pm] Fwd: Perl Booth at BSDCan In-Reply-To: <1f3113741003020832h67ab0f6fk4915a20f8d2b0d2b@mail.gmail.com> References: <144585.54878.qm@web33305.mail.mud.yahoo.com> <254160.36769.qm@web33305.mail.mud.yahoo.com> <1f3113741003020832h67ab0f6fk4915a20f8d2b0d2b@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <201003041311.34918.champoux@pythian.com> On March 2, 2010 11:32:10 am Clayton Scott wrote: > Here's another opportunity to promote Perl in Ottawa, True. And talking of events, there's also a Open Data Ottawa Hackfest coming in in April (http://opendataottawa.ca/).

Has anybody assisted to the past incarnations of that event? Have been privy to the kind of language-specific activities that happen within?

Joy, `/anick ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Howdy, I am working on the application for The Perl Foundation and Parrot Foundation to participate in Google Summer of Code 2010 [0]. GSoC is a program where Google funds eligible students to hack on open source projects for a summer. It is a great opportunity for the students and the communities that mentor them. You also may be interested in this summary of our involvement last year [1]. Our application will be submitted by the end of this week. Please join us in getting prepared for this year. There is a page for possible mentors to volunteer [2]* as well as a page for project ideas [3]. If you would like to help with the wiki, our main GSoC page [4] is the best place to start. You are also invited to join our mailing list [5] and come ask question in #soc-help on irc.perl.org . Thanks!
