Hi All,

Perl has gotten version churned into 64-bit (ubuntu? what?) and we'll 
need to reinstall kwiki's deps.  Please step up if you would like to 
migrate to github pages or something hipper.  Meanwhile, that might be 
the topic for next week's meeting?

Thanks,
Eric

Do we have a dump of the data some where?

Message-ID: <201305022339.08950.enobacon@gmail.com>

Hi all,

I've been spending a lot of time with family lately, and have more on 
the way, making it hard to keep up with organizing the monthly meeting.  
It's time for me to pass the knob to a new zamboni driver and I will 
cease to be The Leader Josh by July.

I would like the group to decide how to move forward and would like to 
have some discussion of this at the next meeting.

Does anyone want to present next week and/or we could spend some time 
working on the website?

Thanks,
Eric

Unless anyone has a burning desire to talk I think getting the site up
or migrated to something else would be a good move. Also it seems like
we have things to discuss on other fronts.

Howdy,

I vote we switch PDX.pm to Github Pages. Give me the data and I will make
it happen.

Howdy,

I have too many responsibilities already, but I am willing to migrate us to
Github Pages and also help be an occasional cat-herder. But we can't just
have one person doing all this. I suggest that we have either:

1) rotating Leader that changes every 3 months (a small commitment)
2) 3 Leaders that stay around indefinitely and occasionally change (spread
the workload)

Any other ideas? I want to help make PDX.pm a sustainable group that does
not rely on heroics by one Josh or Josh-like entity.

I'd be happy to help out from time to time, or with the website/etc.  Maybe
a steering committee of sorts?  Certainly something to talk about Thurs.
night.

>But we can't just have one person doing all this.

Indeed, it is probably easier to be one of many in a rotation or 
something -- though we want to avoid having many volunteers waiting for 
one of the others to act and/or forgetting to take your turn at the 
wheel.

There is also the issue of meeting space / chaperone.  In the case of 
Free Geek, we must have a keyholder present.

I agree, and I'd be happy to be part of %Josh.

Perhaps have one person each month(s) be responsible for making sure
that month's meeting and events happen.  Not necessarily do all the
work, just make sure it gets done and make any decisions people are
wibbling on.  A release manager.

Greetings,

I'm one of the organizers of Open Source Bridge, Portland's annual
conference for open source citizens. We're holding our fifth event this
year, June 18?21 at the Eliot Center downtown and would love to have the
members of local user groups involved. We'd be delighted if you could
mention the conference at your user group meetings and encourage
participation.

We have two great bonuses to offer user groups:
1)  DISCOUNT CODE: Members of your group can register at
http://opensourcebridge.org/attend/ using the code "osbugluv" for only 
$200
(that's $100 off our regular registration rate).
2)  FREE PASS TO GIVE AWAY: You can raffle off a free conference pass to 
a
member of your group. When you have selected a winner, just send their 
name
and email address to usergroups at opensourcebridge.org and we'll take care 
of
the rest. These raffles work best when you let everyone know about the
conference details, allow anyone in the group to sign up, and then draw 
the
winner at random (preferably at a public meeting).

In past years, we've had some local user groups hold their monthly 
meetings
at our conference venue or organize other related events. This can be a
great way to connect your user group with both local and out-of-town
conference attendees. While passes are requried to attend our daytime
content, we open things up to the public in the evenings and are happy 
to
provide meeting space and promotion. Let us know if you're interested in
holding a meeting or have an idea for another event.

I've included further details about the conference and the discount code
below, for easy forwarding to your group's mailing list.

Thank You!
Kirsten Comandich

The turnout was very similar to last May, which may be an indicator that 
reminder mails are essential and/or May in Portland is too gorgeous for 
sitting inside a warm room.

I setup a github org and Anthony started the github pages.  We looked at 
the kwiki data - 105 meetings, 91 members, and 40 other pages (some of 
which should be deleted.)

We discussed some kind of workflow with the github pages where the wiki 
would be useful for incoming meeting ideas, which would be pulled into 
the pages site and pushed out as calagator, mail, etc, then archived 
after the meeting.  That should allow multiple %Josh to operate all or 
part of the ongoing / monthly process of creating meetings.

  https://github.com/PortlandPerlMongers

Will dump some old kwiki data into git later.  Thoughts on the 
PortlandPerlMongersMembers page / is everyone ready to replace their 
profile with a single link instead of having 91 pages in a wiki?

Thanks,
Eric

Last night we talked about writing a Kwiki -> Markdown converter to get
the existing wiki off of Kwiki and onto Github.  Nothing fancy, just get
the basics working for the meeting archives.  Complicated syntax people
can do by hand if they care.

Anybody already working on that?  If you are, can you put it on Github
and provide a link?

 Sharpening
the Axe

[image: Sharpening the Axe]As *GI Joe* used to say, "Knowing is half the
battle." Certainly, *knowing is half the key* to keeping yourself employed
in an industry where new technologies emerge faster than rabbits can breed.
But how do you keep up to date? You can watch webcasts, attend training
classes, go to conferences, or just grab a book and plunge in. Obviously,
we here at O'Reilly are fans of all of the above, but what works best for
you, and why?

Do you have a favorite way to stay current? Let us know at

O'Reilly Open Source Awards Nominations Due May 16

recognized for exceptional leadership, creativity, and collaboration in the
development of Open Source Software, nominate them for an *O'Reilly Open
Source Award*.

Open Dialog What the Open Source Community Is Talking About

The Quality Goes in Before the Name Goes On
*450 million lines of code later*, the open source community is
achieving *defect
rates* comparable to proprietary software. That's the conclusion of the
latest Coverity Scan
Report<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zc6c12hnnc31em66it2sgotn1aaf0fklhggqk0tg>.
Linux garnered top marks, with only 0.59 defects per 1,000 lines of code.

Switch Your Switch
The *Open Compute<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z2oc78bh51bvgbghqed8ms30lj7bf6solejs8jco>project
* plans to develop an open source network switch from the ground up. While
many consumer-grade routers have had open source implementations developed
after the fact, such as
DD-WRT<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z01v8k63q6gkpe1d623dkp2t67ehcbucdvefdptg>,
this will be possibly the first switch designed from the hardware up to run
multiple open-source software implementations.

A Cheat Sheet for Your Next Interview
You may not have had to *implement a sort* since before dinosaurs coded
using ASR-33s, but job interviewers still dig out questions about them.
Here's a handy cheat-sheet<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z1hr1heiq698is8ng32s177vs0uug6gte0r3e00o>for
the next time you get an algorithmic complexity question.

[image: Gold coins]At Least Gold Coins Don't Have Bugs
It's all good and well to talk about moving to a fully digital economy, but
if the recent debacle with the *Diablo III virtual currency* is any
indication, you might need a bug check to go with your wallet. A software
error<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z6t67g4q69uela4g895bo2ikloaka6cn3gc3jqv0>devalued
the in-game currency overnight.

Pop! The Weekly Quiz

Abort, abort!

Time for a journey into the land of ancient hardware. Why was hitting the
emergency power off button on a *DECSYSTEM-20* costly?

Send your best guess to
programming-newsletter at oreilly.com<programming-newsletter at oreilly.com?subject=Programming+Newsletter+-+Why+was+hitting+the+emergency+power+off+button+on+a+DECSYSTEM-20+costly?>
.

Last week's puzzler asked about a classic science fiction short story. Lots
of avid fans easily identied Robert Heinlein's "The Roads Must Roll" as the
answer, but *Sara Porter* made it to the finish line first.
------------------------------
The Interactive Bit Crowdfunding

[image: Crowdfunding]Last week, we went in search of wisdom as to the
merits of using crowdfunding to finance new projects, as opposed to the
traditional venture route. *Alejandro Cabrera* is all for a KickStarter
round, saying, "It's a great way to build a nest of promoters before the
product is ever launched. In the case where your project doesn't meet its
crowdfunding goals, at least you've come out of it with a refined idea, a
wealth of data, and little to no principal lost."

*Ryan Dean* isn't so certain it's the right way to go. "I only want to fire
one arrow and have it hit the mark 'true' rather than dilute the potency
and subsequent impact of the invention. For various reasons it's better
that it remains a 'secret' until it's available for purchase. So
crowdfunding is less than ideal and would give the big players a chance to
swoop in and assert their dominance yet again."

*Andrew Idsinga* thinks that the key to a successful crowdfunded project is
to communicate its benefits clearly. "The amount of whiz bang in the video
isn't as important as clearly communicating how the product solves the job
to be done."
------------------------------
tail -f /dev/newsletter Do You Read the Code from Right to Left?

[image: Music Head]For years, people have been using Perl to write
poetry<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zdvij9p2g37d5si3i98ra1nrio304ibf8s5dm8pg>,
but now one enterprising Israeli songwriter has taken things to the next
level, with a *song<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z14ehsd0ujluh4tti58frbs5gne8s9qst14aqf1o>complete
with a companion Perl program
*. Somewhat reminiscent of the ending song to Portal, the code scrolls out
on the screen as the song progresses, complete with function calls such as
clap(2).

The logical next step is bioprograms that download directly into your mind
and play the music using your neurons. Then when you have a song stuck in
your head for days, it won't be an earworm; it will just be an infinite
loop.

I have translated the head revision of all the kwiki pages to markdown.
Please review.

* WikiText::Kwiki released to CPAN
* Source and data repositories pushed

FWIW, I reviewed about half of the final diff, and it all looks correct.

Convention]<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z0p40f1ek04v4ebamc9g1dn75qddlot36l11ovc0>
   We've
got OSCON on our
minds<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z4enncmvu6ankpjl2ojplaupjg65qsq65ap5hfko>
Join
us for the 15th Anniversary of the O'Reilly Open Source Convention

Sometimes we do a quick reality check and realize that *not
everyone*thinks about OSCON as much as we do. So, even though it's
rapidly
approaching, we're curbing the urge to flood you with details you already
know.*

Instead, we'll share a few things *you may not know*:

   - A huge part of OSCON is made up of *new speakers, fresh sessions, and
   things you haven't heard before*. If you think the schedule features a
   classic cast of speakers and topics, you're right, but it's also so much
   more.


   - Open source is mainstream. Really mainstream. But that doesn't mean
   boring. It's still the province of *brilliant, original thinkers and
   wildly creative hackers,* but everyone else uses open source software,
   too. You've got to keep abreast of developments and best practices if you
   want to succeed.


   - Portland, Oregon is one of the *coolest, most tech-friendly,
   comfortable-yet-progressive places to be.* There's wonderful ambience,
   great food and drink, fresh air activities, and...OSCON.

Take a minute now to check out *the
schedule<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zp9kuduqo4vte2ljlks43ruu8il4b0nr6riia6to>,
convince your boss<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zhmpevi0792lbl608u07voc2dha2m178ust4ae30>,
*or* reserve your
place<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zc189s71s2uiro8c0qdcqgk67dp5tigm0m9nkbd0>.
*Early pricing ends June 6.

Here's hoping we'll see you at OSCON 2013.

*Edd Dumbill, Matthew McCullough, and Sarah Novotny*
*OSCON Program Chairs*

*Namely that OSCON is *the* event for the open source community, it's
brimming with open source knowledge, popular speakers and open source rock
stars, and that in addition to great sessions, training, and industry news,
there are nonstop extracurricular events that will keep you alert,
intrigued, and engaged.

From jonathan at leto.net  Tue May 28 12:44:29 2013
From: jonathan at leto.net (Jonathan "Duke" Leto)
Date: Tue, 28 May 2013 12:44:29 -0700
Subject: [Pdx-pm] [SPAM:###] Parrot Foundation has accepted 3 Google Summer
	of Code student proposals
Message-ID: <32523_1369770269_51A5091D_32523_904_1_CABQG1aTYv6r6saUkxEz04aubhcBm+A14SBJ-Af+ZqvdnbyUpVA@mail.gmail.com>

Howdy,

We have accepted 3 GSoC student proposals!

Javascript backend for Rakudo Perl 6 [0] by Pawe? Murias (Poland)
Updating parrot-libgit2 to latest libgit2 release [1] by Saurabh Kumar (India)
Improve App::Parrot::Create [2] by Denis Boyun (Ukraine)

The community bonding period starts now. Please welcome our students
and give them constructive criticism about their proposals. They are
extremely intelligent students, but they do not have the years of real
world experience that many potential mentors posses.

If you are interested in helping mentor any of these projects (which
could be anything from answering a question on IRC occasionally to
being a dedicated mentor meeting with the student on a daily or weekly
basis), please become a mentor via Melange [3].

The above projects could use help from people that know about Perl 5,
Perl 6, Parrot, libgit2, C, the unix command-line, nasal demons and
the various portability Elder Gods that must be appeased to Make
Things Work.

Students can always use more encouragement, so please help me welcome
them to our awesome community and make sure they are constantly
learning and making progress.

If you ever want to know "what happens next", I highly recommend
joining the #gsoc IRC channel on Freenode, where you can type !next
and various other commands that will be answered by a properly trained
bot.

More details soon!

Duke

PS: We have at least two more proposals that I feel are worth funding
directly as grants from Parrot Foundation and/or The Perl Foundation.
I encourage any students who were not accepted to submit their
proposals directly to the previously mentioned organizations so it can
be decided if they should be funded directly.

Rentrak measures 85,000 movie screens in 18,000 theaters in 36 
countries.
 That means that every time a customer purchases a movie ticket our 
system
processes that data. Rentrak measures viewing on over 20 million
televisions through the United States.  That means that every time one 
of
those viewers presses a button on their remote control, Rentrak gets 
that
data.

Our measurement doesn?t stop with big screens or home televisions.  We 
get
data for internet television, mobile devices and video rentals.  So when 
we
say our engineers deal with BIG DATA, we mean that Rentrak processes 
more
transactions a day than every major credit card company combined.

Rentrak is currently seeking talented software engineers to develop the
front end applications that can be used to visualize and transform these
mountains of data into  interactive reports and data feeds that support 
the
entertainment industry.  What does it take to be a front end software
engineer at Rentrak?  Well, we?re looking for engineers to help solve 
hard
problems in a fast paced environment.  If you like the following then 
this
job?s for you:

?         Working in small teams practicing an agile Kanban process.

?         Collaborate with business owners to formulate the best 
solutions
for our customers with new and innovative products.

?         Use your technical talents to help create robust reports that
present data in intuitive and highly usable formats.

?         Help drive the evolution of our presentation platforms and
technologies as we lead the way in new data visualization paradigms.

?         Investigate and leverage new technologies towards the goal of
improving performance, usability and visualization.

If this sounds like the kind of work you want to do here are some of the
requirements we are looking for:

?         Bachelor?s degree in Computer Science or related major or 
years
of equivalent experience and training.

?         Experience with highly dynamic Javascript based presentation
technologies, (JQuery, Backbone, Ember, Angular ?).

?         Experience in the design, development and release of client 
side
driven applications.  Especially those driven by server side APIs 
utilizing
AJAX and JSONP.

?         Experience with consuming and providing RESTful APIs.

?         Experience in client-side performance. Exposure to pre-
deployment
build processes including tools like Grunt and RequireJS is a plus.

?         Experience in client-side debugging and profiling with tools 
like
Firebug and Chrome Devtools

?         Experience with working with large data sets utilizing SQL 
based
databases.  PostgreSQL experience a plus.

?         We are an Open Source shop, so experience with Linux and 
friends
is desirable.

?         Today we utilize C++, Perl and PostgreSQL but tomorrow we may 
be
using Scala, Ruby and/or Python.  What can you bring to the table?

So what does Rentrak have to offer you?

The answer is simple - our unique environment!  We operate with the
flexibility and energy of a start-up organization but have the backing 
of a
30 year old publicly traded company.  We're inventing new products and 
have
a solid customer base eager to use them!

We also understand and value our engineers.  Our engineers work hard 
here,
taking stunningly large amounts of data and doing an amazing job of 
turning
it into critical systems for the movie, television and cable industry.  
So
we know that hard work has to be balanced out with fun and play.  What 
does
that mean?

?         We game on our Xbox 360 in our relaxation lounge while 
enjoying
the free juice and soda, free fruit and free snacks.

?         We have debates about whether it is harder to Ascend in 
NetHack
or make it through Hardcore Inferno in Diablo 3.

?         We have company sponsored hackathons; sometimes coding, 
sometimes
playing esoteric board or card games.  All while enjoying pizza, snack,
soda and juice.

?         We've gone to movie premieres, played at fun centers, gone 
crazy
at laser tag, jumped out of airplanes, run Hood to Coast, rented bowling
alleys...the list goes on and on....

If that wasn't enough, Rentrak is located in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
Portland is known for its outdoor activities, creative food culture, and
lively arts scene. Rentrak also has easy access to Portland's mass 
transit
system, and has a large number of bike commuters.

vision, disability and life insurance, wellness programs, tuition
reimbursement, an extremely generous vacation package and more.

Subject: [Pdx-pm] Get Yourself In The Perl Companies Database
Message-ID: <627B5581-B717-483A-A417-86DEC825CAE9@imaginative-software.com>

Hi everyone-

Vicky Brasseur has started a project on GitHub to collect information about companies that use Perl at https://github.com/vmbrasseur/Perl_Companies.  I think this could be a huge asset to the Perl community.  Just knowing who uses the language is immensely helpful to job seekers, managers, module authors, language maintainers, conference organizers, and entrepreneurs.

The database has already been seeded with information extracted from several years of job postings.  So if your company is listed, please make sure the information is correct.  And if it's not listed, then feel free to add it.  All you have to do is fork and make a pull request.  You can just edit the file in your browser at GitHub.com too.

If you have a bit more bandwidth, then consider contributing some code too.  I would love to see a web form that makes it easy for folks to add & update data, or some online tools for slicing and filtering and graphing the data. There are lots of really interesting possibilities.  And you'll be helping to inform the future evolution of Perl!

Once again, that URL is https://github.com/vmbrasseur/Perl_Companies

Thanks for your time.

-Jeff
