From pbowen at conversantmedia.com Mon Sep 14 10:52:41 2015 From: pbowen at conversantmedia.com (Bowen, Peter) Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 17:52:41 +0000 Subject: [Thousand-Oaks-pm] Perlmongers Reboot! Message-ID: Hello Mongers, I have some great news! I?m rebooting Thousand Oaks Perl Mongers. I was able to get Conversant to sponsor the next six months of Perl Mongers, which means that we have a Meetup page with free food and sodas at the evening mongers meetings. Here?s the link to our meetup page ? you should at least register. I?m going to be buying the food based on the Meetup RSVPs. :) http://www.meetup.com/thousand-oaks-pm/ I took an informal survey earlier in the summer and based on feedback that I received, I want to try a couple of things out. 1. Earlier start time ? I had several members who said that they work nearby and would be more likely to come if they didn?t have to cool their heels for an hour after leaving work. For the next two meetings we?ll start @ 6:00 pm. We?ll have food, so you can come, grab a bite and stay. 2. Wednesdays seem to be a favorite ? Looking at other meetings, the third Wednesday seems to be a good fit. 3. More interaction with LA.pm - I?m planning to start attending LA.pm - maybe we can get more cross over. :) I would love to carpool. :) I?m also working on an easier way to update the web page, and I?ll get it updated this evening so that it matches the new dates. :) If these work, we?ll keep doing them. If they don?t we?ll try something else. I look forward to seeing you at Perl Mongers. -Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: If anything, it?s stubborn (in a good way). :) I?ve cleared my schedule and I?ll be here with Pizza, salad and soda. I hope that you guys can make it. I will be here, even if nobody shows up. I know what you mean about the traffic, I was driving from our Westwood office for almost a year. If the feedback is that we should move it back to seven in the future so that people can get here, I can certainly do that in the future. If you want to dust off a presentation from your former days to fill the second half, that might be cool, or we can keep talking about simulations or pretty much anything that amuses us. :) Thank you for your support. -Peter From: Aran Deltac > Date: Tuesday, September 15, 2015 at 12:11 PM To: Peter Bowen >, "ThousandOaks. pm" > Subject: Re: [Thousand-Oaks-pm] Perlmongers Reboot!

Fwiw I'd like to go, but I'd be coming down from SB and didn't manage to re-arrange enough to make it happen on two days notice. Next time, hopefully. Btw is there any support for Tuesday instead of Wed? Btw, has anyone gotten Perl working on iOS?

The meeting notes are here: http://thousand-oaks-perl-mongers.github.io/Presentations/2015-09_September_2015/index.html#/ In other news, we have an active Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/115492215130671/ It might be easier to share it with friends rather than using Meetup ? although Meetup is still the official RSVP place. There is also a linked in page which I think I have control of. That?s next on my list. I?m going to update the web page pretty soon with this info as well as put some convenient navigation on the github.io page. Thanks again, and I?ll see you next month! -Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
