G'day,

Following two talks referencing Perl in the last couple of weeks,
(Damian Conway at YOW! and Christopher McKay at the BFPG), I'm
wondering if there is interest in holding regular meetings.

$work is willing to provide space and incentives to attend (in that
you might get fed), $work is located in Toowong.

Some questions (discussion points):
 - How frequently, and when would you like meetings to occur, (thinking
   once a Month)?
 - What other nightly meet-ups/conferences are popular and or events
   that potentially clash?
   - i.e. BFPG, Python, P&F (2nd Wed), YOW! nights, Hackerspace, etc.,
 - Participation levels, (such as:
   - I have a talk begging for a venue,
   - I could talk on ... ,
   - ...
   - I'm happy to lurk
 - Anything else?

							   Mark.

I'd be keen. My constraints are: no Tuesdays || Thursdays.

Monthly sounds good. and I'm sure we would show some flexibility re
other events (conflicts are always resolved on the perl side).

Maybe to organise an inaugural meeting and take it from there?

Hi 


I would be interested in attending a monthly meeting, any week day would be suitable.


Paul

Mark,

Excellent to see someone picking this up. I tried something similar a few
years ago, didn't end up with much by way of interest. Didn't offer food,
of course :)

While the other groups you mention could be regarded as constraints, think
of them as areas of overlapping interest too - especially Python. I'd add
HUMBUG (if that's still around) and SAGE-AU as well. Perl is a well trodden
path for sysadminly types.

Not sure I'll be up for regular meetings or delivering talks in the near
future, though certainly interested in both. Haven't used Perl in anger for
years now, but with some notice could definitely present on something or
other sometime. Availability is difficult though.

Mark, if you're keen to take over managing this mailing list, you're most
welcome. I'm happy to continue though.

Cheers,
drj

I'll present again, and it can be about something I'm more familiar with
and of more practical application this time.

Monthly sounds about right.

Watch out for clashes with the ruby, jvm and js meetups.

Monthly and avoiding the other major meetups.

I'll gladly come along, so long as it doesn't clash with BFPG (Bris Functional Programming Group) or YOW. Monthly meetings that are not in the last week of the month and definitely not on a Tuesday are best for me.

I don't know what everyone else would like to get out of starting up regular meetings, but I think that it would be a good idea to see a couple of talks aimed at complete novices to try to get some new perl faces around Brisbane.  I'd feel like we'd achieved something as a group if we could convince some non-perl devs, uni students and even maybe even some perl sysadmins ( ! ) that perl isn't what it was used to be 10 years ago and that modern perl is a damned good idea even when considering all the other fancy things currently out there ( well except for Haskell, that is,  but I promise not to harp on about that at PM ;D ). 

Practical talks are great, but we shouldn't shy away from talking about horrible brain melting perl magic and cool tricks now and then if people have scary things to talk about. For me at least, it is sometimes nice to be completely impractical and jump in the deep end of something completely foreign to day-to-day coding.

If we need speakers I'll be available to speak about something, but not till after I present for BFPG sometime around June.  

Cheers,
Ben

G'day,

Not forgotten, just been incredibly busy.

Thanks for all the suggestions, etc.,
Its looking like a Wednesday Night, but which one?

I'll go through the thread again, and pick a night.

I should have a date chosen, and announced early next week.

							   Mark.

BrisPy is usually the first or second Wednesday of the month.
BFPG is usually the last Tuesday.  So the third Wednesday would
suit me.
