Wade Johnson" ----- Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2011 23:14:53 -0500 From: "G. Wade Johnson" To: pm_groups at pm.org Subject: [pm_groups] Potential group project: The Perl Cookbook Ben Thomas and I were discussing the fact that The Perl Cookbook is somewhat out of date and wondered if we could set up a project for Houston.pm to try to bring some of the recipes up to the standards of Modern Perl. As we discussed it, I realized that modifying a large number of these recipes would quickly exceed the bounds of "fair use" should O'Reilly decide to complain. So I contacted them through the user group program. The short form is that O'Reilly is at least provisionally interested in the idea of a community project to update the Cookbook. They have done other community-based cookbooks in the past, with some success. The question is, would more Perl Monger groups want to join in the fun/work on this? Depending on the details that we are still ironing out, there would likely be a website collecting new and updated recipes. We'd probably want the source for the solutions on something like github. O'Reilly would want the ability to collect a subset of the recipes (with input from the community) to form a new edition of the book, if the project goes well. The website would continue to be available for updates and contain all recipes, not just those included in any book. I've pitched the initial idea to my group. (Without some of the details at the moment.) Would any other groups be interested in joining in? If you are interested, I'd be glad to forward the information I sent to my group. I've also got a call next week with my O'Reilly contact to iron out more details. Input from the larger Perl Monger community would definitely help with that. Who is interested? G.

Kleines Protokoll des heutigen Meetings im Metalab: Da es zZ noch nicht sehr viele Vortraege gibt, und da wegen der anderen Konferenz in Brno am Samstag mit nicht sehr viel Besuch aus/in Bratislava zu rechnen ist, haben wir uns folgendens ueberlegt: In den Zeiten ohne Talks koennten wir einen Hackathon machen. Dafuer brauchen wir Themen. Vorschlaege zZ sind: irgendein metacpan plugin perl6 port cpan5 module to perl6 perl cookbook (siehe mein Mail von gestern) SDL wir sollten uns hier auf ein (ev zwei?) Themen einigen, und diese entsprechend vorbereiten. Das Programm wird wohl in etwa so ausschauen: - Freitag (Wien) vormittag: hackathon nachmittag: talks abend: essen / hacken - Samstag (Bratislava) vormittag: bahnreise nach bratislava, hackathon nachmittag: talks abend: essen / hacken / rueckreise weiterhin gilt: - Vortraege einreichen! Auch nicht-revolutionaere Talks ueber day-to-day Perl usage sind interessant! - Anmelden! je genauer wir wissen, wer aller kommt, desto besser koennen wir planen. - Weitersagen!

Perl wird deshalb am Google Code-In teilnehmen. Hier eine Mail von Paul Johnson, der eure Hilfe ben?tigt: ---- 8< ----- [ See this post in glorious HTML at http://blogs.perl.org/users/paul_johnson/2011/10/more-about-gci-2011.html ] The Google Code-in 2011 (GCI - http://wiki.enlightenedperl.org/gci2011) will be starting shortly. This is the programme under which students aged between 13 and 17 years are encouraged to get involved in open source projects. The Perl Foundation would like Perl to be a part of this programme, bringing both short and long-term benefits to Perl and the students alike. Many of you will have seen my previous post (http://blogs.perl.org/users/paul_johnson/2011/10/gci-2011.html) asking the Perl community for help in creating tasks for students. A few of you have subsequently added tasks to the ideas page (http://wiki.enlightenedperl.org/gci2011/gci2011/ideas). For this we are extremely grateful. Some of you may well be planning to add some tasks. We'll also be very grateful for these tasks. It's almost time to submit our application. But for our application to be successful we really need to add more tasks. So I'm renewing my appeal for your help. We need help from all sorts of people. From developers, from designers, from technical writers, from managers, from marketers, from QA people and testers, from architects, from trainers, from user interface specialists and from anyone who can speak more than one language. And if you're reading this and don't fit into any of those categories then you undoubtedly have other talents and we probably need you even more. We need you to visit the ideas page (http://wiki.enlightenedperl.org/gci2011/gci2011/ideas) and read about the sort of tasks we need. Then create a login and add a task. If you can't or don't want to create a login, please mail your task to me at paul at pjcj.net Here are some suggestions for tasks: - Develop a new feature. - Port to a new operating system. - Fix a bug. (Go and check your RT queue.) - Add tests for a feature. - Add tests to improve coverage. (Take a look at cpancover http://pjcj.sytes.net/cpancover/ ) - Add to or improve documentation. - Write a tutorial. - Make a tutorial video. - Make a promotional video. - Add internationalisation (I18N) to a module. - Translate documentation, tutorials or web sites. - Investigate API changes. - Research new ideas. algorithms or libraries. - Compare and contrast modules. But feel free to let your imagination run wild. Any task that a young student could perform that would be beneficial to the project is fair game. In addition, if you really cannot think of a task to add, but you would be willing to act as a mentor please add your name to the ideas page (http://wiki.enlightenedperl.org/gci2011/gci2011/ideas) and note any areas in which you would be willing to mentor. In particular we are in need of mentors who would be able to assist with translation tasks, so if you speak more than one language please add your name and note which languages you speak. We also need mentors who would be happy to work with students on bugs in modules where the author is unable to do so. But we're very happy to accept all volunteers. So please either add a task or sign up as a mentor. (Or both.) But this is getting very urgent. Our application needs to be on Tuesday so please don't delay and sign up today! Thank you very much for your assistance. I trust that with your help this year's GCI will be even more successful than last year's. ---- 8< ----- From jozef at kutej.net Mon Oct 31 02:09:07 2011 From: jozef at kutej.net (Jozef Kutej) Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:09:07 +0100 Subject: [Vienna-pm] tcpw2011 - Saturday Message-ID: <4EAE65B3.2060801@kutej.net> Hi, just updated the schedule for Saturday. http://conferences.yapceurope.org/tcpw2011/schedule?day=2011-11-05 For the people coming from Vienna with a train, I suggest following connecion: http://217.12.48.27/elis/trasa.aspx?vlakid=RE_2512_40 That train is leaving 9:20am from "Wien S?dbahnhof Ostbahn" which will by just fine for coming to the venue for the first English talk at 11:40am.
