Subject: [Ottawa-pm] Perl @ FOSDEM 2011 - Call for speakers
Message-ID: <4CD959DC.1090802@pythian.com>

Forwarded from pm_groups, in the chance one of us will be in Europe this winter...

Joy,

-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v

FOSDEM is one of the biggest Free and Open Source event held annually
in Brussels, Belgium. The expected number of visitors is around 4-5000.

      http://www.fosdem.org/2011/

Last year there was a Perl booth and a few Perl related talks.
This year we are going to have a devroom where we will be
presenting a number of Perl related talks.
FOSDEM will take place on the 5 - 6th February 2011.
The Perl devroom will be on Sunday 6th February from 09:00 to 17:00..

We're looking for speakers to submit talks for inclusion in the program.

In our conversations with the FOSDEM visitors last year we found
that while many were using Perl or interested in Perl,
almost none of them have ever attended a Perl Workshop or a YAPC.
Hence this is an opportunity to show the latest developments in the
Perl world to a wider audience.

A number of topics that might be interesting:

* Moose, the Object Oriented system of Perl
* Dancer and Mojolicous, the new light-weight web frameworks
* New features of Perl (5.10 and 5.12)
* How to run a new version of Perl on an older system
* Testing Perl code and using Perl for automated testing
* Writing games in Perl
* Using Perl modules without root access
* Database access using Perl
* Data mining with Perl
* Porting legacy Perl to Modern Perl
* Perl 6

Presenting  a Perl based software such s a
* Content Management System
* Bug tracking software
* ...

Talks can be 15, 30 or 45 min long including (!) 2-3 minutes
switching time between talks.

Please submit your proposals to:

events at lists.perlfoundation.org

and include the following information:

* Your name
* The title of your talk (please be descriptive,
as titles will be listed together with ~250 talks
from other projects)
* A short abstract of one or two paragraphs
* A short biography introducing yourself
* Links to related websites/blogs etc.

The deadline for submissions is 20th December 2010.
The proposals will be considered by committee.
If your proposal has been accepted, you will be
informed by email by 27 December 2010.

Coordination of the Perl presence at FOSDEM is done
on the TPF wiki page:

I haven't found you yet :)

The Game has turned out to be very cool. There is an API for
automating away a whole bunch the
drudgery letting you concentrate on the strategy which is pretty
appealing in one of the games.

Of course a bunch of tools have been written in perl and are open
source, you can grab them here:

Also if anyone else wante to join the Lacuna Expanse use the following
link and you'll get a home
world relatively close to mine. I promise to be nice:

I had a lot of fun automating away the drudgery in another web-based
strategy game (Tribal Wars) a few years ago.  The constraints were a bit 
different -- the game allowed add-on tools, browser extensions, etc, but 
did not provide API access and forbade unattended bots.

So, how to automate the boring bits without violating their ToS?

The solution was to write a pluggable proxy to intercept traffic to and 
from the game server with HTTP::Proxy. The plugins scraped specific 
pages for useful game state and inserted into a local database of all 
game activity.  Then, some additional pages (force-served in the game 
domain via the proxy) used the known state to plan future actions, and 
provide simple links for kicking them off (ie: optimized raids on nearby 
villages based on available units and the target's expected 
replenishment time, building more units once resources were available, 
etc).

Of course, once I ran out of features to add, I quickly got bored with 
the game and stopped playing.  :)

I've still got the proxy code somewhere if one of you Lacuna players 
might find it useful.

Cheers,
Dave

     I'm not too surprised.  At the risk of making a truly 
nausea-inducing pun, my performance in the game is not exactly stellar.  
I'm still trying to get my first colony off the planet.

     It would. But one can still expect a cultivar named "thorny death" 
to be potentially more prickly than one called "fluffy kitty ears". ;-)

	Typical of the hacker mindset. The problem, whatever it might be, is 
usually just a good excuse to tinker up a cool solution. :-)

	It's like, one of my back-burner project is to write a web browser/SMIL 
engine for the space battle game "Full Thrust".  It's not really because 
I want to play the game. It's really writing the engine that sounds fun. :-)

	Aaaah, that slightly reminds me of the tools for the BBS game TradeWar.

	If it's somewhere accessible, just throw in the link.  We never can 
have too many code snippets. :-)

Sure... interested parties can fetch the code from http://www.dmo.ca/projects/assorted-crap/tw.git

If anyone finds a use for it, let me know.

Yeah, there is a full REST API and all of the Graphical UIs use that
same API exclusively.
A couple of times I was able to write a small utility that took
advantage of parts of the API
that the UI didn't implement for a week or more after the release.

	Incidentally, any of you guys starting playing with Plack?  It has been 
on the periphery of my radar for a while, now, and my recent dabbling in 
Dancer really gave me a strong motivation to learn more about it.

	Usually I don't broadcast my new modules on the list, but this time I 
thought it might be interesting for some, as it's using Memory::Usage, 
written by Dave O'Neill (hi Dave!).

	As its name may hint, this module is a Catalyst plugin to profile the 
memory taken by the app, just like Catalyst::Stats deal with time 
profiling. It's not on CPAN yet (but should be in the next few days), 
but it's already available on GitHub[1].

	Also, a blog entry about it should appear Real Soon(tm) on the Pythian 
blog[2].

Very interesting. I'm looking forward to playing with it once it's on the CPAN.

Wait no more! The first version has been released on cpan and the blog entry has been unleashed.

In all cases, let me know how it works for you. Of course, it's a very young module, so caveat emptor and patches are very much welcome. :-)

     So far, it's doing exactly what I needed it to do. :-)

     Well spotted.  Yes, I removed one line of the report. So I think 
your code is okay.  You can breath again. ;-)

Good to know that someone besides me finds it useful!

A question, though... the stats you show on the blog post, are they 
actual values, or did you sanitize them somehow?  It looks like there's 
something wrong with the report.  For example:

time    vsz (  diff)    rss (  diff) shared (  diff)   code (  diff)   data (  diff)
[...]
     0  45304 (     0)  38640 (     0)   3448 (     0)   1112 (     0)  35168 (     0) after Galuga::Controller::Root : _AUTO
     0  46004 (     0)  39268 (     0)   3456 (     0)   1112 (     0)  35868 (     0) after Galuga::Controller::Entry : entry/index
[...]

You can see that vsz, rss, shared, and data all increased, but the diff 
column doesn't show it.  I'm just wondering if I've got a bug somewhere.  

Cheers,
Dave
