Message-ID: <4302E1E2.8010403@perltraining.com.au>

G'day everyone,

This is a reminder that there will be a Brisbane Perl Mongers meeting on the
above time and date to which you are all invited.

Meeting Address:

     Trolltech offices
     2/26 Brandl Street
     Eight Mile Plains

Agenda:
	* Meeting and mingling while everyone arrives.
	* Paul Fenwick presents: "Whirlwind Web Development"  approx 30 mins
	* Paul Fenwick presents: "So you want to start a business"
                                  approx 45 mins  (if desired)
	* Adam Kennedy presents: PPI talk

To make Sarah's life easier could you please RSVP to the list to say that you're
coming either to the meeting, dinner or preferably both.  I believe that seating
may be limited at the current meeting address so while I encourage you to bring
your friends and collegues, please mention the number of others you expect to
bring so that a larger meeting location can be organised if required.

I hope it all goes well and I'm very jealous I won't be able to join you all.

	Jacinta

Hi All,

I won't make it, too many things happening and all.
I hope it all goes well, I'd love to see a more active Perl community 
in Brisbane and feel vaguely guilty about not helping organise stuff.

Cheers,
Damian

In the same boat Damien. I'm feeling too sick still (since Sat) so
won't be coming. Sorry all. Have a great time!

Message-ID: <430AD721.8020808@perltraining.com.au>

G'day everyone,

I hope you had a really great meeting last night and that you might consider
having another again sometime.  I've got a couple of requests that you might be
able to help me with.

1)  I'd love to hear your thoughts and descriptions of last night's meeting and
I think they'd be a good thing to record.  As such I invite you to add your
descriptions and thoughts about the meeting to:

	http://perl.net.au/wiki/Brisbane_Perl_Mongers/Meetings

If you were at last year's meeting and would like to add to that section as
well, please do.  If there have been any other meetings not listed on the page
feel free to add them.

It's a wiki, you're very welcome to add to any other pages that take your fancy.

2)  Paul forgot to request a volunteer to become the new, local Brisbane PM list
owner.  All this job requires is:
	* getting a perl.org account
	* looking after the mailing list (a few minutes each week)
	* updating the webpage if/when you feel it needs it.

I'm very happy to help walk you through any of the above if you have difficulties.

Perl.org who provides hosting for the PM websites and mailing lists prefer local
people to manage these things.  Both myself and your current list owner are too
far away to be representative of yourselves.

Any volunteers?


Once again, I hope you had a great meeting and I look forward to hearing about
many more.

All the best,

	Jacinta

I'm happy to do this. I already look after a couple of mailing lists, 
an extra
would not be onerous :).

Subject: [Brisbane-pm] Perl miniconf at LinuxConf.au 2006 [resend]
Message-ID: <1124922831.11639.6.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Nick Phillips points out that LinuxConf.au 2006, being held at Otago
University in Dunedin, NZ is also co-ordinating miniconfs;

 http://lca2006.linux.org.au/miniconfs.php

The main conference runs from Wednesday 25th January to Saturday 28th
January 2006.  Mini-confs would run on the Monday and Tuesday (23rd &
24th).

If there is enough interest, then there would be a strong argument for a
Perl mini-conference.

So, if you would be interested in attending Perl talks at LinuxConf
Australia 2006, please say so now!  Please do not cross-post replies to
all the .au & .nz Perlmongers lists; reply to your own group's list
only, thanks :).

Potential speakers have until Monday 5th September to submit talk
descriptions; we've got 2 days of talks to make up, and we don't JUST
want to hear Damian ;-).

Sam.

note: apologies if this hits any list twice.  I posted to all the .au &
.nz Perlmonger lists, but it bounced because of excessive cross-posting :)
