If you haven't RSVP'd for a WindyCity.pm meeting for a while, you might want to send in an email to me, joshua dot mcadams at gmail dot com, so that you can easily get in the door.

So, we would like you to help find those students (and quickly -- the students must apply before March 31st.) This is a rare opportunity for students to get a chance to get a paid summer of hacking on exciting projects like Parrot, Perl 6, Moose, Jifty, SVK, Catalyst, or their very own Perl modules or applications. It also brings new talent into the community and gives the student a hefty "real world" experience with a knowledgable mentor. Further, employers love to see this sort of demonstration of teamwork, handling deadlines, communication skills, resourcefulness and etc. We're looking for promising students who are interested in open source (or maybe you know someone who *should* be interested in open source.) Knowledge of Perl is optional if the project is Parrot-related. The student doesn't need to be an expert in the problem domain (after all, learning is part of the process), but should bring a big pile of creativity, problem-solving skills, and determination. Students should review the page of suggested projects, but are encouraged to bring their own proposals (those are often the best.) The most important first step is getting in touch with the community and discussing their project idea with potential mentors. http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_projects Additional information and links can be found here. http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008 Google has posted some flyers if you happen to have a university bulletin board or hallway handy: http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocFlyers Additional info: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html (Note that google has particular requirements to do with the fact that they are paying the students. The student must be able to show their eligibility regarding enrollment and employability.) Remember, the Perl community draws talent from many fields, so if you came to Perl from a non-computer-science major and still have contacts in that department from your university, it is probably worth mentioning to them.

I've also left Josh with several copies of "Extending and Embedding Perl" that Tim Jenness gave me last week. Josh will figure out how to give those out, but typically we've given first shot of the good stuff to people who give lightning talks. Otherwise, I'm going to miss all of the meetings until after YAPC::NA. I'm here for a couple weeks in April (don't forget our open enrollment Catalyst, Testing, and Learning Perl courses http://www.stonehenge.com/open_enrollment.html), then after that it's my European Tour. Some of that should show up on Perlcast. Going the other way, I set up a Slideshare group for Windy City (http://www.slideshare.net/group/windy-city-perl-mongers). Josh, Kent, and I have uploaded a bunch of talks. You can see them in the flash-y player without an account. If you give a talk, please upload them. If you don't want to make an account, send them to me and I'll upload them for you. I'm bummed that I'm going to miss Jon's Moose talk. :( From joshua.mcadams at gmail.com Mon Mar 31 21:28:25 2008 From: joshua.mcadams at gmail.com (Joshua McAdams) Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:28:25 -0500 Subject: [WindyCity-pm] Chicago Perl Seminar Message-ID: <49d805d70803312128n7a1dfb19i6b0a7dfbdae80626@mail.gmail.com> In light of the recent DoubleClick and Google merger, the planning for the Chicago Perl Seminar is on hold (since DoubleClick was going to sponsor speaker travel). I'll keep you all updated if anything changes or if we want to try to find another sponsor or pull it off without a sponsor, I'll gladly help out.

Will anyone be around the conference on Friday? Better yet, will anyone willing to man the booth or at least straighten up the handouts on occasion be available? Thanks, Josh
