Wie jedes Jahr veranstaltet das deutschsprachige Forum Perl-Community.de einen Workshop. Der diesjährige Workshop - mit Unterstützung von Frankfurt.pm - findet vom 08.09. - 10.09. in Frankfurt im Haus der Jugend statt. Wer interessiert ist, sollte sich recht bald anmelden, da der gebuchte Raum nur eine geringe Kapazität hat. Einen festen Zeitplan gibt es nicht, da wir das alles recht locker handhaben. Der Start ist am 08.09.2006 ab 17:00 Uhr im Café Aktiv http://www.cafe-activ.com/ . Mehr Informationen sind unter http://wiki.perl-community.de/bin/view/Community/PlanungenFreaktreffen2006TeilZwei zu finden. Wer sich anmelden will, soll sich ins Wiki eintragen oder mir eine Mail schicken (mailinglisten :: renee-baecker :: de). Die maximale Teilnehmerzahl beträgt 15 Personen. Ich hoffe, es melden sich noch ein paar Leute an. Mit ein wenig Glück wird zumindest an einem der Tage auch brian d foy vorbeikommen und einen Talk halten. Es wäre schön, wenn sich auch noch ein paar Vortragende finden lassen. Sonst wird es ein eher kurzer Workshop... Nur Mut, da es in einer lockeren Runde stattfindet und nichts davon abhängt, kann ein Vortrag als gute Übung für die Zukunft dienen.

Sind beide gleich belegt mit Raids, insofern ist es mir egal, ob ich den Raid am Montag oder am Dienstag ausfallen lasse ;-) Judith From mario at minati.de Wed Aug 23 14:05:55 2006 From: mario at minati.de (Mario Minati) Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2006 23:05:55 +0200 Subject: [Bielefeld-pm] =?iso-8859-1?q?Treffen_n=E4chste_Woche?= In-Reply-To: <9763E7AB-0A53-426E-AA54-C0E441EEA425@gmx.de> References: <9763E7AB-0A53-426E-AA54-C0E441EEA425@gmx.de> Message-ID: <44ECC333.7030307@minati.de> Christian Dühl schrieb: > Hallo, > > blöde Frage, könntet ihr auch nächsten Montag statt nächsten Dienstag? > > Gruß Christian > Ich komme erst Montag spät wieder, bin zur Zeit in Bregenz und mache Urlaub. Aber ich glaube auch Dienstag wird schwierig, aber da muss ich am Dienstag erstmal meinen Schreibtisch sichten ;-) Also entscheidet einfach, wie es für Euch am Besten ist.
