Please invite everyone you can think of who might be interested in coming. Date: 2nd November Time: 6:30pm Where: Bernadette's Cafe & Restaurant Shops 5 & 6 Wakefield Gardens Ainslie Who: Canberra Perl Mongers SAGE-ACT members CLUG members What: So you want to start a business? - Paul Fenwick Conference Presentation Mind Control - Paul Fenwick Social networking for fun and profit - Jacinta Richardson Your talk goes here - You Your other talk goes here - You RSVP: Andrew Pollock ( andrew-pm at andrew.net.au ) or to the list by Tues 1st November. We're still offering *free* books to any of you who are able to send two or more of your colleagues on our introductory courses running that week. Get them to book at http://perltraining.com.au/bookings/Canberra.html and make sure they mention your name. After this has occurred, email me with your book request (select from http://perltraining.com.au/books/ ) and I'll see what I can do. If Andrew P could collect RSVPs and make a booking that would be great, also if you can bring along that wireless door bell it might come in use. If Sean Batt (or anyone else) can secure us a data projector for the evening that would be ace as talks without pretty pictures aren't as much fun. I look forward to seeing you all again.

Conference are now open. Last year?s conference was a huge hit with 60 high quality talks running in three streams over three days. If you were not able to join us last year make sure you don?t miss out this year! The conference is running from Monday 5th ? Wednesday 7th December 2005. If you register before Sunday 30th October you will receive a conference t-shirt and a $50 discount. You can register at http://www.osdc.com.au/registration/index.html OSDC is a grass roots-style conference designed by developers for developers, covering open source languages, tools, libraries, operating systems, licences and business models. We?re booking 3 lecture rooms each day for the 3 days to hold a new set 60 different talks. Talks topics range from the safety of Perl?s Safe.pm, to rapid game development in Python, to using PHP for unorthodox applications, to utilizing Java?s Groovy in your next application. We also have talks on conference skills, database integration, digital forensics, Gumstix and Nagios. You can find the full list of speakers and talk titles at http://osdc2005.cgpublisher.com/session_descriptions.html Because there are so many good talks, you can be certain that there will be something that interests you in every talk session. Each day will start with a keynote by our excellent keynote speakers. These include Damian Conway, Jonathan Oxer, Richard Farnsworth (from the Australian Synchrotron) and Anthony Baxter. The rest of the day will be filled with up to 5 hours of talks and plentiful food breaks. Our catering choices should result in you being extraordinarily well fed throughout the days of the conference. There will also be several BOFs (yet to be organised), lots of opportunities to socialise, a semi-formal dinner, a partners? programme and other usual conference stuff. If you have any other questions about what is happening, please don?t hesitate to ask: osdc-help at osdc.com.au All the very best, Jacinta -- ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ | Jacinta Richardson | `6_ 6 ) `-.
