Subject: [albany-pm] YAPC::NA:  It's earlier this year
Message-ID: <D707784E-8B06-461A-9CE8-03FDD2BCE22D@verizon.net>

YAPC::NA is taking place in Chicago on Monday-Wednesday, June 16-18.
http://conferences.mongueurs.net/yn2008/index.html

Note that this is earlier in June than has been the case for the past
three years.   From 2005 to 2007, the conference took place
at the start of the week immediately preceding holiday weekends in
both Canada and the U.S.  But this year it moves back to the middle
of June as was the case up through 2004.

This means that the deadline for submission of talks is earlier this
year as well.  In fact, the deadline is next Saturday, March 15.  So
if you've been pondering making a presentation at YAPC, you need to
submit a proposal (at least in outline) by that date:  http://
conferences.mongueurs.net/yn2008/newtalk.

The Perl Foundation has been accepted to the Google Summer of Code this year.

I have signed up as a mentor, and can definitely mentor any parrot or
perl6 projects

If there are any local college students who are interested, please
forward this to them.

Finally, I believe the deadline is actually 3/31, not 3/24.

Regards.

Subject: [pm_groups] Summer of Perl -- call for student proposals
To: PM Groups <pm_groups at pm.org>


Hi all,  Please forward this to your groups.  (Also feel free to break
 into a discussion as to whether or how students are involved in the
 perl community, what we can do to connect with more universities and
 etc.)


 The Perl Foundation is participating in Google's 2008 Summer of Code(tm)
 and we have a lot of capable, willing mentors looking forward to working
 with some talented, driven students.  So, we would like you to help
 find those students (and quickly -- the students must apply before
 March 24th.)

 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.

 Additional information and links can be found here.

 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.

 Thanks,
 Eric

 If you are a student or know a student who could be doing something with
 Perl this summer, you need to act NOW.

 The application deadline is Monday, but if you haven't gone through a
 couple rounds of feedback by then you probably won't succeed.
 Applications sent at the last minute are unlikely to be accepted.

 If you know some students or professors, you should contact them about
 this today (not tomorrow.)
