However, if we start putting the Perl events on it, other people will see them. Public events with no admission fee are free to post, although there is a lag time as a human checks those events. It also looks like there is a Match.com style networking /recruitment tool where you can search for people with general skills ("sales", "IT") under certain categories ("Unemployed").

OK, since the meeting is tomorrow, let's do a social meeting instead of a technical meeting. This will consist of watching The IT Crowd and then going out to Monks afterward. We will save Kent's and my talks for another time :) The meeting will start at 7 on the 12th floor of Performics, the usual place. (Can someone at pfx generate an attendance list?) Hopefully this is OK with everyone. I will bring The IT Crowd and the necessary cables. Regards, Jonathan Rockway -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Somebody can pose as Perl to ge the free cake or whatever from the restaurant. We'll do the book exchange as wrapped books that we can exchange (and I have plenty of books to give out so if you don't have one, I can give you one). Maybe I can get some swag from the usual sources as special birthday gifts/ Any suggestions for the right place to celebrate? -- brian d foy http://www.pair.com/~comdog/ From joshua.mcadams at gmail.com Wed Nov 28 20:48:27 2007 From: joshua.mcadams at gmail.com (Joshua McAdams) Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 22:48:27 -0600 Subject: [WindyCity-pm] Perl Birthday dinner In-Reply-To: <2715accf0711281235r74bc47f2v41198fa3ea7342f8@mail.gmail.com> References: <2715accf0711281235r74bc47f2v41198fa3ea7342f8@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <49d805d70711282048x5647a451lee79ef3e1f380eb2@mail.gmail.com> > Any suggestions for the right place to celebrate?

This is the last call for this special offer for Windy City Perl Mongers, which won't be available after Sunday. Use up those end of year dollars! This is a low cost offereing, so Stonehenge will not be providing meals or laptops. The location has plenty of nearby restaurants and you need to bring your own computer. I'll have complete details later this week---this is a special pre-announcement offering! Here are the public rates, and the rates I'll give for Windy City Perl Mongers people. I can take a credit card or a purchase order. If you or your company are interested in this, contact me right away. I can't reserve seats without a payment arrangement, and it's first-pay first served. There are only 20 slots per class. Companies that want to send several students can ask for a deeper discount. Day courses, 8am to 4pm --------------- Learning Perl, Dec 10-12, $750/person --> $700 for WindyCity.pm Intermediate Perl, Dec 13-15, $500/person --> $450 for WindyCity.pm Night courses, 6pm to 9pm --------------- Catalyst, Dec 10-12, $375/person --> $325 for WindyCity.pm Test Driven Development, Dec 13-14, $250/person --> $200 for WindyCity.pm -- brian d foy http://www.pair.com/~comdog/
