Here's an opportunity for some of you to get in for no charge! We're looking for volunteers to cover the registration desk, provide room monitor duties, operate the audio and video equipment and generally help with the smooth running of the event. If you're interested, please contact conference at osdc.com.au or fill out the form at http://2010.osdc.com.au/contact. Those interested in the audio/video side of things must be available Tuesday afternoon (23rd Nov) for training and then Wednesday 24th to Friday 26th from 8.30am to 5.30pm. While no experience is required for any volunteer tasks, including audio/video, you must be keen. We will try and schedule you all so you get to see what you want to, but cannot make any promises. In exchange for your help, you will get free access to the conference (no dinner unfortunately, but you can upgrade for $80 if you want to attend that too). We look forward to hearing from you, From toby.corkindale at strategicdata.com.au Tue Nov 16 16:20:14 2010 From: toby.corkindale at strategicdata.com.au (Toby Corkindale) Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2010 11:20:14 +1100 Subject: [adelaide.pm] OSDC Perl BOF Message-ID: <4CE31FBE.1090701@strategicdata.com.au> Hello everyone, I hope it's OK for me to cross-post this far and wide. There has been some discussion between the Adelaide and Melbourne perlmongers about having a Perl BoF meet during the OSDConference next week, and I'd like to extend that to other Perl mongers. The conference dinner is on Wednesday, and I gather some visitors will be flying home straight after the conference on Friday, so at this stage it looks like Thursday night is the night. I wondered, would visitors to Melbourne be interested in sticking close to the conference venue (eg. the "Boiler Bar") or striking out further into Melbourne (perhaps Collingwood or Fitzroy, or the CBD)?

Sounds like a fine idea to me. No doubt by Thursday I'll have figured out where the "Boiler Bar" is =) I might have to arrange some kind of post OSDC report for the Adelaide PM folks =) regards, Kim From justin at hawkins.id.au Sun Nov 21 16:11:49 2010 From: justin at hawkins.id.au (Justin Hawkins) Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 10:41:49 +1030 Subject: [adelaide.pm] OSDC Perl BOF In-Reply-To: <4CE32138.1000207@hawtin.net.au> References: <4CE31FBE.1090701@strategicdata.com.au> <4CE32138.1000207@hawtin.net.au> Message-ID: On 17/11/2010, at 10:56 AM, Kim Hawtin wrote: > Sounds like a fine idea to me.

The boiler room is conveniently right next to the convent bakery as we found out last night. So there seem to be a number of eat streets about locally... thoughts? regards, Kim From justin at hawkins.id.au Wed Nov 24 16:52:09 2010 From: justin at hawkins.id.au (Justin Hawkins) Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2010 11:22:09 +1030 Subject: [adelaide.pm] November social - Monday Message-ID: <2CEE568A-588A-4C5C-8209-16521AF78298@hawkins.id.au> Hi Folks, I've moved the social to Monday (the 29th) to suit our currently interstate adelaide.pm'ers. 5pm @ the Exeter - see you there!
