There's be meetings for a few months, no meetings for a while (usually co-inciding with summer and winter) and then it starts over. I'd personally be quite happy to get across the lake for some SPUG goodness (just requires a speaker, or declaring a SPUG social). -- Noah Romer | The only person Palladium protects your computer klevin at eskimo.com | from - is you.

It is also rumored that he writes shell code. Pre-Meeting =========== If you are so inclined, please come to the pre-meeting at the nearby Elephant & Castle pub on 5th & Union (see map link below). Come enjoy some friendly conversation and perhaps a favorite beverage (they have a full restaurant too). We can usually be found at the back under the TV near the rear entrance that goes up into the hotel (if you enter through the front doors, just go straight back past the bar). We'll be there from 5:00 pm to 6:19 pm. Meeting Location ================ Marchex 520 Pike Street, Suite 1800 Seattle, WA 98101 The building is just East of Westlake Center. Enter from Pike Street. http://bit.ly/jGI364 Due to all of the shopping around us there is plenty of parking available in garages, but it can be hard to find street parking in the evening. There is also a parking garage in the building, but check the rates and closing time (subject to change due to downtown events)! Attendees will need to wait near the elevators in the lobby and a Marchex employee will provide access to the 18th floor where the meeting room is located. If no one shows up to let you in, call (425) 533-2964 to let them know you're in the lobby. See you there! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Gabor Szabo put together a poll to measure how people are getting their Perl news. Maybe you already heard of it. If not, please consider contributing just a few minutes of your busy day to help the Perl community take its own pulse. Go quick fill out this poll, you only have three days left! http://perlpolls.com/perl-news -- Andrew B. Sweger -- The great thing about multitasking is that several things can go wrong at once. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gabor Szabo To: PM Groups Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:03:23 +0300 Subject: [pm_groups] Reaching the Perl community with news Hi, yesterday I asked you to call your local Perl mongers filling a short poll I created. Some of you have done so and almost 400 responded in less than 24 hours. This is great and I'd like to thank you for that! We can do better though. Let me explain what is behind this. I just asked Robert to help me find out how many people are subscribed to all the Perl Monger lists. Based on the numbers he gave I think we can say there are about 10-15K people registered. Yet the Perl blogs see a number of visitors much smaller than that. Apparently many people are either not aware of the blogs, don't have enough drive to check them often or the content of the blogs are just not interesting for them. Both the Perl Weekly and the current poll are my humble attempts to get more people read about Perl related news and to get more people interact with the vocal part of the community. That's the reason I asked you to invite more people to fill the form. >From the results the bloggers will have some more idea what to write about and I'll have more idea what to include in the Perl Weekly. So I'd like to ask you again (the other 200 PM group leader :) to send out an invitation to your own PM group to submit the poll. Thank you in advance! regards Gabor http://perlpolls.com/perl-news <- only 3 days left! http://perlweekly.com/ -- Request pm.org Technical Support via support at pm.org pm_groups mailing list pm_groups at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/pm_groups
