From xsawyerx at gmail.com Tue Sep 2 00:27:27 2014 From: xsawyerx at gmail.com (sawyer x) Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 09:27:27 +0200 Subject: [AmsterdamX-pm] Next meeting: September 30th Message-ID: The next meeting of AmsterdamX.pm will take place on September 30th. I am expecting a few surprises which I will email as soon as they are solid. *We need speakers!* If you would like to give a talk (on any topic at all), please let me know. Talks can be 5 minutes long, 20 minutes long, or even 40 minutes long. We're very open on topics, so please do suggest anything at all.

A core p5p hacker and the pumpkin for Perl 5.10! We have no idea what he will be talking about yet, and we're very excited about it! Expect more news about speakers. :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Peter Rabbitson, also known as Ribasushi, the maintainer for DBIx::Class, will be a guest speaker a this meeting! The meeting, as advertised, will take place on *September 30th*. There is yet one more surprise! Stay tuned! [1] No, I'm not calling you a mule. Humans eat carrots too! :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have great speakers and a surprise visit! The surprise? *Karen Pauly*, the president of The Perl Foundation (TPF), will be stopping by to give a short talk about TPF! As well as Karen, *Peter Rabbitson (ribasushi)*, chainsaw delegate for DBIx::Class, will also give a talk. Finally, we somehow (and I take full credit for it), convinced *Rafa?l Garcia-Suarez (rgs)* to give a talk. Not only a talk, but a talk about core hacking! Live! Because live demos always work! :) And after the meeting we will have drinks, sponsored by Booking.com. *In a nutshell:* Date: Tuesday, September 30th. Time: 18:30 - 20:30 (theoretically) Location: Booking.com, Herengracht 597, Amsterdam room on 1st floor. Then drinks upstairs on the 5th floor. *Talks:* *Peter Rabbitson (ribasushi) - DBIx::Class - what is it and what is it good for?* DBIx::Class is a widely used and just as widely misunderstood SQL metaprogramming framework (no, it is not an ORM, it just plays one on TV). Come to see the primary maintainer of DBIx::Class (a.k.a. DBIC) give an overview of its architecture, show some more advanced use cases where the library really shines, and generally rant about the sorry state of the RDBMS universe. ;) *Rafa?l Garcia-Suarez (rgs) - De anatomische les van Dr. RGS* Watch a Perl 5 patch being written, as if you were in the perl5-porter's brain! *Karen Pauly - The Perl Foundation (TPF)* Karen, the president of The Perl Foundation (TPF), will talk to us a bit about TPF. *Unabridged:* You've probably heard of the Perl Mongers meetings, where fellow Perl (and non-Perl) programmers can get together to "talk shop", make fun of everything (including Perl), and have a good time. These meetings often have a few technical talks (which are usually light-hearted, and not necessarily - but likely - involve Perl). There are already Amsterdam.pm meetings. This is not about those. This is about AmsterdamX.pm. The talks can be a 5 minute tidbit about a cool module, or a 40 minute tutorial about some cool new (or old) software. *AmsterdamX.pm?* AmsterdamX.pm (Amsterdam eXpats Perl Mongers) is a new Perl Mongers group whose purpose is to optimize for expats. The major differences are: * use English; We might speak more than 50 languages, but we commonly speak only one. * Meeting early: we meet at 18:30, so you can come straight from work instead of having a long buffer time to the meeting. * Held at Booking.com, where most Perl expats in Amsterdam already work. This isn't to replace Amsterdam.pm, but to provide an additional group. It is only meant to supplement. *Why should I attend?* Here are a few reasons which might appeal to you: * You will improve your knowledge of Perl (and most likely other technologies) through the knowledge and experience of others. It's like a free course, with snacks! * You could give a talk and share your knowledge and experience. If you're going to YAPC to give a talk, this is great practice. * It's a wonderful chance to socialize. *How many talks, and how long are they?* Usually there will be 2-3 talks, ranging between 5 minutes (lightning) and 40 minutes (tutorial). *Is it just for Booking.com?* No. This isn't Booking.pm, this is AmsterdamX.pm. (also, Sparta!) This means that everyone is invited! We suggest that people register so we could have a good estimate of the people arriving. This will help with various things like optimized snack distribution, making sure reception knows of people arriving that don't have keys, making sure we get a proper room, etc. *Now I'm interested, what's the next step?* Please let us know by return email if you will be attending as well as the names of anyone you plan on bringing from outside of Booking.com. Then mark the date, time and place, and show up! See you there! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
