Please join us Thursday (yes, I said THURSDAY) evening on 22 June 2006 at<br>the (otherwise) regular monthly meeting of the Seattle Perl Users Group.<br>This month we are very happy to have Audrey Tang as our guest to talk
<br>about deploying Perl 6 today. Are you ready to get Perl 6 out the door?<br>Come find out how you can do it now with everyone's favorite postmodern<br>language. Perl, the language evolving so fast that you can write code
<br>using tomorrow's technology yesterday.<br><br>We will not be meeting on Tuesday.<br><br>Thank you to our hosts at <a href="http://Whitepages.com">Whitepages.com</a> for giving us a great place to<br>hold our meetings and presentations, to Jerry Gay for working out the
<br>details of arranging for Audrey to meet with us, to the SPUG-Workers list<br>for picking up the loose pieces, to all the SPUG members that show up at<br>meetings or participate on the list to make the group worthwhile in the
<br>first place, and all the JAPHs out there for just being.<br><br>See below for more information on...<br><br> - Speaker Background<br> - Presentation Description<br> - Meeting Location<br><br>Speaker Background
<br>==================<br><br>Audrey Tang<br>-----------<br><br>Audrey Tang (formerly known as Autrijus) is a Taiwanese free software<br>programmer, best known for initiating and leading the Pugs project, a<br>joint effort from Haskell and Perl communities to implement the Perl 6
<br>language.<br><br>She is also known for internationalization and localization contributions<br>to several Free Software programs, including SVK, Kwiki, Request Tracker<br>and Slash, as well as heading Traditional Chinese translation efforts for
<br>various Open Source-related books.<br><br>On the CPAN, Tang initiated over 100 Perl projects, including the<br>popular Perl Archive Toolkit (PAR), a cross-platform packaging and<br>deployment tool for Perl 5. She is also responsible for setting up
<br>smoke test and digital signature systems for CPAN.<br><br>Tang is a high school dropout and a vocal proponent for autodidactism<br>and individualist anarchism.<br><br>Presentation Description<br>========================
<br><br>Deploying Perl 6<br>----------------<br><br>With the advent of <a href="http://v6.pm">v6.pm</a>, we can write "use v6-pugs;", start coding in<br>Perl 6, and deploy it as part of a Perl 5 application, without any extra
<br>dependencies such as Haskell, Parrot, or even C compilers.<br><br>This talk will discuss typical deployment scenarios, emphasizing on the<br>strength of Perl 6's deployment model:<br><br> - Automatic dependency analysis, so upgrading CPAN modules will no
<br> longer break programs mysteriously.<br> - Multiversioning, allowing the use of multiple versions of the same<br> module on the system.<br> - Module and function interfaces that enables more robust and self-<br>
documenting programs.<br> - Cross-platform bytecode, resulting in faster loading time and cross-<br> compilation opportunity to e.g. client-side JavaScript.<br><br>Moreover, we will present recipes for reusing Perl 5 modules in Perl 6
<br>programs and vice versa.<br><br>Meeting Location<br>================<br><br><a href="http://Whitepages.com">Whitepages.com</a> is located on the 16th floor of the Rainier Square Tower<br>(1301 5th Avenue, Seattle) which is across from the 5th Avenue Theater.
<br>See the directions[1] for a quick primer on how to reach us from various<br>locations across Puget Sound.<br><br>There are plenty of locations to park in the area, including on the<br>street. If you're looking for off-street parking, you can park in the
<br>Rainier Square garage which has an entrance on Union St.<br><br>After 6PM, the building management restricts access to most floors. Our<br>host is trying to take care of this, but if unsuccessful, they will<br>station someone on the 1st floor near the elevator bank and 5th Avenue
<br>entrance to let people in. Worst case scenario, give our host a call on<br>his cell phone[2] and he'll run down to let you in.<br><br>Our hosts are providing a generous assortment of free sodas, fruit drinks,<br>teas, and coffee, and also have some snacks. You definitely won't
<br>dehydrate here.<br><br>We look forward to seeing you!<br><br>[1] - <a href="http://www.whitepagesinc.com/locations">http://www.whitepagesinc.com/locations</a><br>[2] - (206) 354-7789<br><br>_____________________________________________________________
