Hi All,

Two things this afternoon,

1. I'm circulating the official Call For Papers for TPCiC this June:
https://perlconference.us/speakers

2. I don't currently have a speaker for April .. so if you are willing to
do a talk, please let me know.

I am contemplating using Google Meet for our April meeting, as the
recording I made of last month's talk is impossible to find .. at least if
I record the Google Meet session, I know it will go directly to Youtube.

I will also send a notice out to the mailing list a week beforehand so
everyone's aware of speaker (or not) and virtual location.

Cheers, and stay safe!

Alex

I could speak for a bit on fzf https://github.com/junegunn/fzf <https://github.com/junegunn/fzf> and also about how the fzf vim integration works if anyone is interested. You can do fun stuff with it aside from just choosing files. You can, for example, add custom tab completion to arbitrary command line utilities, make shortcuts to commonly used things and add a fuzzy chooser and multi-select. It also integrates nicely with bat: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat <https://github.com/sharkdp/bat> I can also touch on using ripgrep as a ?git grep? replacement and maybe a bit about ?fd? as a ?find? replacement.

Olaf's suggestions all sound interesting, if only because I've never heard
of most of them.

Thanks Olaf,

Consider yourself booked! I wrote to someone on Twitter this morning about
doing a talk, but haven't heard back yet.

Also, I'm going to try using Google Meet to run this meeting .. I will
create the meeting URL and announce the meeting through meetup later today.

Cheers,

Alex

Message-ID: <CANgc-awbxPpYXTiRc=ubEgOnBokwVs_TyafPfeNtZu9wWki8GA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Here's the latest from the meetup.com entry for the April meeting:

---
This month, Olaf Alders will speak about fzf and integration of fzf into
vim. It should be an interesting evening. Please note that we're using
Google Meet this month, and this change may be permanent.

This monthly meeting will be virtual for the foreseeable future -- say, for
the remainder of 2021.
---

You can read about it online at

  https://www.meetup.com/Toronto-Perl-Mongers/events/mxsvdsyccgbdc/

Please note we'll be using a Google Meet link for the meeting. This is the
URL to the meeting:

  https://meet.google.com/rbi-onjw-qxb

See you 7pm on Thursday April 29. We'll have a fifteen minute impromptu
social starting at 7pm, and we'll get rolling about 715pm.

Alex

If anyone wants a sneak preview, I?ve got my slides up at https://github.com/oalders/fzf-demo The repository also includes a Dockerfile, if anyone would like to mess around with the scripts inside of a container. It?s particularly helpful if you want to test out the vim integration without setting that up yourself.

Subject: [tpm] Wrap-up from our April meeting
Message-ID: <CANgc-axqqAJbe6kCUmC64wXXQAkg=qjbGLKsU+B-1Zfew2m-9A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Thanks again to Olaf Alders for giving a talk this month about fzf, the
fuzzy finder utility that integrates into the command line, and also into
vim. This tool looks really fascinating -- during the demo he also showed
off the bat utility (bat = cat with wings) which looked pretty handy as
well.

After that presentation was over, Olaf went on to show us a little about
perlimports (available on CPAN via https://metacpan.org/pod/App::perlimports)
that reduces module exports to the minimum required -- this looks like a
really handy tool for anyone who is maintaining legacy code.

There were a couple of announcements at the end of our meeting .. I'm
repeating them here in case you weren't there:

- Jim Keenan is the lead maintainer of Devel::NYTProf, and would be happy
to hear from any developer who uses this module regularly to assist him
with testing the latest versions of the module. You can reach Jim at
jkeenan at pobox.com.

- Scott Sullivan of GTALUG (the Linux User's Group) is looking for speakers
at their monthly meeting (second Tuesday of the month); you can reach him
at scott at revident.net.

- Sergio Sousa announced that Walmart is looking for Perl/NodeJS/ReactJS
developers for six month contracts. You can reach Sergio at sergio at serso.com.
(Small world story: I worked with Dan Parkes on contract at Manulife a few
years back, and he left to go to Walmart. I met Sergio about a year later,
and he eventually landed at Walmart -- two Perl guys at Walmart -- maybe
they know each other? Yes, apparently they do.)

Finally -- although my Google Meet account didn't allow me to record Olaf's
presentation, it sounds like Sergio figured out a way to capture the
evening anyway. I'll add that video to the Toronto Perlmongers account and
let you know when that's available. Scott Sullican has passed along some
good information on this topic (Thanks Scott!), and I'll figure out a
better virtual venue for our meeting in May (the date's May 27, and it is
already correctly set up on meetup.com).

See you next month! Cheers.

Alex
