From genehack at genehack.org Tue Jul 5 07:50:30 2011 From: genehack at genehack.org (John SJ Anderson) Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2011 10:50:30 -0400 Subject: [baltimorepm] Special meeting to discuss DC/Baltimore Perl Workshop Message-ID: At YAPC, several of us had a chance to put our heads together and discuss our two Perl Mongers groups working together to put on a Perl Workshop at some point. Everybody in attendance thought this was a pretty good idea, and that the next step was to try to have a (hopefully!) larger gathering of interested parties to try to figure out how we could make this happen. Suggested location, as a place mostly midway in between our two metro areas, is the Victoria Gastropub: Suggested time is some upcoming weekend (Friday/Saturday/Sunday afternoon/evening). I've set up a Doodle poll; if interested parties could indicate their availability over the next couple weekends, we'll find the best consensus time and go from there. I suspect one of the first things we're going to want to do is set up a dedicated mailing list (and probably wiki) for discussion purposes, but for the moment, please remember to cross-post responses to both mailing lists. thanks, john.

I've set up a Doodle poll; if interested parties It's an excellent place and much more convenient to me (in Crownsville, near Annapolis) than either Baltimore or DC. But it does tend to be crowded so getting space for a group in prime times could be tricky.

I think it went okay ... The Baltimore crowd might've been a little under-represented. John took notes, but the basic synopsis was: aiming for May 2012-ish. (exact date may be dependent on what location we can get) regional in scope, no special theme. Aiming for 50-100 people over 2 days. we discussed the advantages of free vs. at least a token cost, and I think token cost won out (so we don't have lots of people book to where we're turning people away, but then they never show) Maybe an option for people to volunteer the day of, and/or a lower cost for students and the unemployed. ... And we have to try to find a location and get things locked down by the Pittsburg workshop so we can announce it, try to get sponsors, etc. We talked about trying to keep it accessible to public transit, and places where it wouldn't be too expensive to host. And to have it so the sponsors organize things, rather than promise us money that we then have to front if they back out. On the bad note ... all of the taps weren't working, so they didn't have anything on draft. But the food was good. -Joe And I don't think a conference call would've worked ... too much background noise, etc. > On Sat, Jul 16, 2011 at 05:00:50PM -0400, Mike Burns wrote: >> Riding with John now.

Okay, meeting notes (excuse the OddMuse wikitext formatting, but I figure that's where this is headed, eventually...) = DC-Baltimore Perl Workshop Exploratory Meeting, 16 Jul 2011 = == Present == * Joe Hourcle * Brad Lhotsky * Shawn Wilson * Mike Burns * Brock Wilcox * John SJ Anderson == Agenda == (Not adhered to in any organized fashion...) * Location * Timing * Cost/Price * Sponsors * Name * Infrastructure == Location == Getting this nailed down is obviously one of the most important things at this stage. Potential locations that were discussed: * UM College Park * Sun/Oracle training center in Columbia * Maryland Biotech Park * UMBC Important things to consider are price, location, accessibility via public transport, and whether we would need a person to be affiliated or associated with the organization that owns the space. == Timing == Based on the timing of the existing US-based Perl conferences and workshops, we identified two potential time frames: late April/early May, and some time in August. Given the weather pattern in the area, the former time frame was selected by popular acclamation. 8^) == Content == No special theme was identified; we may come up with one down the road. Doing a "beginner track" or a "Perl as your 2nd (or 3rd, or Nth) programming language" track was also discussed -- it's an easy way to get more than one track going, and given how hard it is to find good Perl people in DC, having a training specifically to _make_ some is a good selling point, particularly as we approach Federal IT contracting companies for sponsorships. == Price == We discussed this a lot. A free conference (a la the London Perl Workshops) has a lot to recommend it -- much easier accounting, nobody is really going out of pocket, etc. On the other hand, making people pay _some_ sort of registration fee is likely to cut way down on the number of "no-show" registrations. I think we will continue to discuss this; obviously any charge for the venue (if there is one) is going to have a big impact on this decision. One thing that we were strongly in agreement about was that there should be reduced fee or free admission available for students and the un-employed. == Name == We decided on "DC-Baltimore Perl Workshop", which gives us 'DCBPW' for short. I've registered dcbpw.(com|net|org) domains as of this morning, and started a '@dcbpw' Twitter account. (Please follow it.) I'm also sitting in #dcbpw on irc.perl.org, should anybody like to join me. Unless there are objections, I think we should plan on hosting the wiki and conference stuff on the dcbpw.org domain, and redirect the others towards that. == Sponsors == Some potential sponsor names that were kicked around: * Sourcefire * White Oak * OmniTI * Grant Street Group * Liquidation.com * SRA * CSC * Cargotel * Infoblox lots more work to be done in this area... == Infrastructure == As I mentioned above, domains have been set up. First order of business is to get a dedicated mailing list (so people on the baltimore.pm and dc.pm lists who aren't interested in this can ignore it...) and set up a wiki. Brock volunteered to work on both of those. == Regular meeting == There was a general consensus that a regular face-to-face meeting of at least the principle organizers[1] would be useful -- but we also agreed that trying to have that in August was probably going to be difficult, given vacations and etc. So we will be scheduling that around the beginning of September, exact time and location TBD and announced. == Important Milestones == The one deadline that we have right now is in the form of the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop, which will be held in early October. We would *really* like to be able to officially announce at that time -- which means we need to have the venue lined up, the schedule set, and have made a decision about registration costs. Some sponsorship lined up at that point would also be nice. We will be reaching out to the PPW organizers to ask for advice and tips -- but given that they're in the throes of putting PPW together, that's probably going to happen _after_ PPW. --ENDS-- If I missed anything, others can fill in -- that's about all I got written down anyway. thanks, john.
