This means that Perl Perl Mongers meets TOMORROW at 5:30pm in EE 317. Michael Gribskov will talk about making faster regular expressions. Open Source Food & Chat is also moved to Tuesday, and to Stacked Pickle on Northwestern, just up the street from EE. See you there! -- Dave Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com Computers let us make bad decisions at lightning speed and global scale. -- Brian Wisti -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: From jacoby.david at gmail.com Wed May 10 07:01:23 2017 From: jacoby.david at gmail.com (Dave Jacoby) Date: Wed, 10 May 2017 10:01:23 -0400 Subject: [Purdue-pm] This Summer's Meetings Message-ID: May's meeting was good. Joe stepped in to talk about Open Source and Tabletop Games, and I showed off how I handle my mail, including the 260 domains I will not accept from at work, that if you email me with "elite networks" or "cannabis" in the subject, I will never see it, and that the determination if notifications go to my tablet or my desktop depends on Ken's OpenCV code. Also, the specific person I hoped would be able to come didn't, so there is no need to keep it on Tuesday. I personally like the "wander up the street" move, so, unless there's a strong push from the HackLafayette membership to go back to LBC, I think staying in WL works. I, by fiat, have decided that July's meeting will be a wrap-up and discussion about the talks from YAPC::NA/The Perl Conference, whic (at least) Joe and I will attend. Joe wants another shake-down pass on To Serve Humans, so I think June is that, but I would like to have another presentation, perhaps just a small one, then. And that leaves August. I am somewhat bereft of ideas, and would like your ideas. * June 14 - To Serve Humans (plus another?) * July 12 - Perl Conference Recap * August 9 - TBA If you have thoughts on what you'd like to present, or even what you'd like to see, I think we'd all like to know. -- Dave Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com Computers let us make bad decisions at lightning speed and global scale. -- Brian Wisti -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Gabor is a solid choice for this project, and I hope that, if you have interest in Perl6 and the web, you support it. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gabor Szabo Date: Mon, May 22, 2017 at 3:15 AM Subject: [Perl6 Tricks and Treats] Supporting my Perl 6 related book To: "perl6 at szabgab.com" Hi, I have started to write a book about "Web Application Development in Perl 6". As I don't want to invest tons of time writing a book that no one is interest in, I decided to run a crowdfunding campaign in which people can express their interest by buying the book up-front or even contributing a larger sum of money (and getting more perks). You, who are subscribed to my Perl 6 newsletter are probably quite interested in the success of the languages. I think having a book about web development in Perl 6 can have great impact on that. So I'd like to ask you to support the crowdfunding effort. Please review the outline of the book and the whole crowdfunding offer: http://perl6maven.com/book and send me your feedback. If you can support it with money. If you like it, recommend it to your peers. thank you!

Last month, only two of us RSVPd, so Ben didn't reserve the table, and then a LOT of us showed up and the conversation was great. So, please, if you have any expectation of showing up, RSVP. https://www.meetup.com/hacklafayette/events/240029970/ + Software Stir - Tues, June 1 11:30am-1pm at the Anvil This is a presentation of the Purdue Foundry, which is trying to grow a software startup community in Greater Lafayette. Generally, Keith tries to have one talk about a technological issue and one talk on software as a business. In the past, there have been events around working with a remote team, how Bitcoin works, and how the infrastructure of Alexa works and how to integrate with it. I don't know what this month's talks will be on yet. https://twitter.com/softwarestir + Cross-Platform Mobile Apps with NativeScript - Sat, June 3 2pm at MatchBox NativeScript is a framework for creative native IOS and Android applications using web technologies (HTML, CSS, Javascript)* https://www.meetup.com/hacklafayette/events/240057063/ * I refuse to camel-case Javascript. -- Dave Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com Computers let us make bad decisions at lightning speed and global scale. -- Brian Wisti -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I saw Neville speak at the first Dawn or Doom event a few years ago, and I am personally looking forward to getting a deeper dive in the subject from her. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: keith at intelgenius.com Date: Wed, May 31, 2017 at 12:20 PM Subject: Software Stir Big -- Data/AI edition tomorrow! To: Keith Williams Hello, again! It?s hard to believe that another month has sped by. Tomorrow, June 1st from 11:30-1:00 will be our next Software Stir meet-up and we have a couple of great speakers lined up. We will be meeting at the Anvil with the *Purdue Foundry* providing lunch (RSVP: http://bit.ly/2sdWkxU) and also parking validation for the Grant Street Parking Garage. Professor Jennifer Neville from the CS department is going to be speaking on Big Data and machine learning with a talk titled: "A Few Useful Things to Know About Machine Learning: Models, Methods, and Mistakes?. For those of you that have not had a chance to meet Professor Neville are in for a real treat. She holds the Miller Family Chair of Computer Science and Statistics at Purdue and is a very well respected in this field. It doesn?t matter if you're an expert in the machine learning and big data or a non-technical startup co-founder there will be something for everyone in her discussion. Next, Kyler Nunery will be giving a technical talk on Machine Learning, specifically Neural Networks- what they are and examples of state of the art applications Kyler has an incredible background around software and startups and is someone that you?ll definitely want to get to know. There is no doubt that Kyler?s presentation will leave you much greater understanding of the topic and have you excited to explore AI and neural nets yourself. So, bring your curiosity, your questions, and your appetite! This is going to be an awesome way to kick off a new month. Please don?t forget to RSVP for the food and as always I look forward to seeing you there! -Keith -- Dave Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com Computers let us make bad decisions at lightning speed and global scale. -- Brian Wisti -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
