<a href="http://www.rectangular.com/kinosearch/">KinoSearch</a>
is a Perl search engine library. Stuart will cover the basics
of information retrieval technology, and the use of the module.
The module is pretty easy to use when you get the hang of it. </dd>
</dl></div><div><p><b>Location</b>: 2 Bloor Street West, (usually) 8th or 16th floor.
The
room number will be announced on the mailing list a few days before the
meeting. It will also be left with the security desk in the building
(main
floor lobby) shortly before the meeting starts (i.e. around 6pm).</p><p><b>Time</b>: 6:45 p.m.</p><p><b>Directions</b>: This building is on the north-west corner of Bloor
and
Yonge, accessible by subway from Bloor station. Pay parking is also
ample
in this area.</p><p><b>Security note</b>:
The elevators in the building are "locked down" after 5:30pm
to people without building access cards. Leading up to the
meeting someone will come down to the main floor lobby every
few minutes to ferry people upstairs. There will be a
number of scheduled trips:
</p>
<ul>
<li>17:30</li>
<li>18:00</li>
<li>18:30</li>
<li>18:45</li>
<li>19:00</li>
</ul><p>
After 19:00, you can reach the access-card-carrying guy via
a cell phone number that we'll leave with security in the
front lobby. The room and floor numbers will be left with
security too.
</p><p>
If any latecomers call up there will be a final group
elevator run at 19:10. After that, access will be ad-hoc;
call up from security and somebody will try to come down and
let you up. </p><div><a href="http://to.pm.org/">http://to.pm.org/</a></div><div><br></div></div><div>
