Message-ID: Our scheduled speaker is ill, and there's not really time to assemble a quality presentation by tomorrow, so we're cancelling our April meeting. There is no meeting Tuesday April 8th. May 8-10 is Open West. See you all there. We have three days worth of Perl planned, and Mark Jason Dominus will be a guest speaker as well.

The registration is being done through EventBrite. Here is the URL: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/openwest-conference-2014-registration-10373315867 Enter the following community discount code: UTOS That will get you half-off admission. Highlights: A panel discussion on privacy. 3 days of Perl-track (last year the Perl track filled one day). Mark Jason Dominus will be a special guest speaker. His presentations will include a talk on Higher Order programming, a Perl code repair workshop, and a discussion on lessons learned in building a billing system that doesn't suck. Glen "Tempire" Hinkle will be giving a talk on non-blocking web apps with Mojolicious (he's one of the core Mojolicious devs). ...and a whole bunch of other Perl talks. Salt Lake Perl Mongers will also have a small booth, though I haven't figured out what to put at it yet, nor how we will man it. ;) Ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Dave ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Victor Villa Date: Tue, Apr 15, 2014 at 12:41 PM Subject: IMPORTANT : OpenWest 2014 Call for Volunteers To: coreteam at utos.org The OpenWest 2014 Conference is quickly approaching on May 8th-10th. One of the things that makes our conference great is the community behind it. But a conference like this doesn't happen on its' own. We need volunteers! Want to attend for free? We are looking for volunteers to help out. There are a few rolls to fill such as: -A/V -Room Monitors -Registration -Setup/Take down. If you are interested please go to http://www.openwest.org/volunteer/ and signup. Video volunteers should know how to operate a typical HD camcorder (zoom, focus, etc.) for good results. If you can provide your own hardware we only require that the camcorder shoot in 1080p HD resolution, have an optical zoom lens, and record on SD card media (UTOS will provide the SD cards for recording.) A good tripod for shooting video is also required. Help us make this year great! http://www.openwest.org/volunteer/ Thanks, James Lance (OpenWest Volunteer Coordinator) -- David Oswald daoswald at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you have some time, at least one of the days (May 8-10) please visit the Open West website's volunteer form: http://www.openwest.org/volunteer/ It's my understanding that free admission is one of the perks for volunteers.

Message-ID: A couple people have asked me about the aspect ratio of the projectors at Open West. They are full 1080p, so 16:9 should be fine. All of them have HDMI and VGA. If you need something different from that, bring an adapter. Slides are strongly encouraged for most presentations. Also, if you upload them to a slide sharing service such as slideshare, let me know the link and I'll try to pull together a page on our SLPM site (after the fact) that links to talk slides and videos. -- David Oswald daoswald at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The ticket sales are capped at 1000 this year (last year was 700). But I have it on good authority that even though capacity has been increased this year, we're already at 718 registrants, and if history is any indicator, last minute registration will easily consume the remainder. The community discount code for Salt Lake Perl Mongers is PERL. If you are a speaker, you do still have to register. If you haven't done so, email me directly for a speaker code. Volunteers are still being sought. There's a volunteer form on the Open West website.
