From jacoby.david at gmail.com Fri Sep 18 09:36:45 2015 From: jacoby.david at gmail.com (Dave Jacoby) Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2015 12:36:45 -0400 Subject: [Purdue-pm] The MatchBox Experiment: Final Thoughts Message-ID: Over the last few months, we've ran an experiment, moving from Tuesdays over lunch in Whistler to Wednesdays after work at the MatchBox, followed by GLOSSY Open Source Food & Beer & Chat at LBC. We've learned several lessons (first: bring your own DANG HDMI cables to MB), and I certainly don't regret it, but from discussions with Joe and Michael, we might do on-campus after-work, as we have done before. Or not. So: Location -- MatchBox? WSLR? Some other building on-campus? Time -- After work? Lunchtime? I'd suggest 7:30-8:30am if I thought anybody would go for it, but I sincerely doubt it. Day -- Wednesday was chosen to make the Mongers -> GLOSSY transition easy, but with campus not being quite as easy walking distance from LBC, we might look into other days. Although, it's almost Tuesday, Wednesday or no-day for me. Any comments at all about when would be a good or bad time to Monger would be appreciated. Joe Kline is presenting at PPW just before our expected meeting, and will re-present that talk for us next month, so that's on-deck, wherever and whenever it occurs. -- David Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Matchbox seems to be working out ok. Are their better venues on campus at that time slot? Dunno. We have had slightly more people show up at the 6pm time slot than our typical noon time. The difference though is like 3 vs 6. Which it better I think in general. I think having it prior to weekday GLOSSY is a good thing. Much like you Dave, Tuesday and Wednesday work better for me. joe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlX8YzkACgkQb0mzA2gRTpkp1ACdH6y9morX2gMZFHN9oCgbN5bK c00An1Q/K5x8JDZx/B/1NdMFs+jPlQWK =Eg5A -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From jacoby.david at gmail.com Mon Sep 28 13:44:40 2015 From: jacoby.david at gmail.com (Dave Jacoby) Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 16:44:40 -0400 Subject: [Purdue-pm] October Mongering Message-ID: I have announced the October Meeting for Purdue Perl Mongers aka GLOSSY Perl SIG. Thanks to Wally, we're meeting at 6pm Wednesday, October 14, at MatchBox CoWorking Studio, then we will wander over to Lafayette Brewing Company at 7:30 for Open Source Food & Beer & Chat. For the meeting itself, Joe Kline will reprise the talk he's giving to Pittsburgh Perl Workshop, called *To Serve Man*. So we know how many to expect, please rsvp for both Perl Mongers and Food &Chat. It's more important for Chat, because that allows us to know how many seats to reserve at LBC. See you on the 14th! -- David Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
