From HOGUEJ at Nationwide.com Mon May 5 13:10:42 2003 From: HOGUEJ at Nationwide.com (HOGUEJ@Nationwide.com) Date: Thu Aug 5 00:00:12 2004 Subject: [columbus.pm] Perl 6, Perl Gods, and Free Food. Message-ID: I don't have anyone specific to talk on Perl 6. We can do it one of two ways. I can go out and do a bunch of research on what's out there and bring some info. and demos. Or we can split the subject up into some sub-categories and have several members talk on it. Some sub categories might be: Why Perl 6 What changes in Perl 6 What is added in Perl 6 When will it be available in Production Quality Who are the Major Players Where can you get it Parrot? Where to Find More Information - What does it mean (apocolypses) Cool Parrot Demos Send a message to the group if you'd like to tackle one of these Perl 6 sub topics for the May meeting. (or if you want to add your own) ========================== Also, I will have access to these people at the end of May. These are the Gods of all things Perl. What questions do you have for them? I'll bring the answers to our June meeting (and post them some time after that.). Post your questions to the group. Also, I was thinking about collecting your favorite Perl book to be signed by one or more of the following authors. (ie, have your programming perl book signed by Larry Wall). Let me know if you are interested in such a thing. Damian Conway Simon Cozens Mark-Jason Dominus Lawrence Miller Jeff "japhy" Pinyan Allison Randal Randal Schwartz Larry Wall Casey West ========================== Finally, thought about adding food to our meetings since it is during the usual dinner time. I am in the process of looking for sponsors to provide such nurishment. Let me know if you know someone who would like to buy (pizza, pop, subs, wings, etc.) for our next meeting.

I (Jon Hogue) will be giving a summary of Perl 6. Pizza will be served. For more information about the meeting, see http://columbus.pm.org. About Perl 6 from http://dev.perl.org/perl6/ Perl6 is the next version of the Perl programming language. The project attempts to address the interpreter, the language, and the culture. The internals of the version 5 interpreter are so tangled that they hinder maintenance, thwart some new feature efforts, and scare off potential internals hackers. The language as of version 5 has some misfeatures that are a hassle to ongoing maintenance of the interpreter and of programs written in Perl. And finally, the entire Perl community is invited to participate in the design and implementation of perl6. "Perl 5 was my rewrite of Perl. I want Perl 6 to be the community's rewrite of Perl and of the community." --Larry Wall, State of the Onion speech, TPC4 "When it comes to Perl 6 I'm no longer sure what's obvious and what isn't. ;-)" --Damian Conway, <3D6A32FC.5030405@conway.org> Also, we had talked about creating a chatter bot at one point. It might be neet to create such a thing that would answer common questions about the local Perl Mongers meeting. Ie, answer questions or have discussions about the following things: When is the next meeting? What is the next meeting about? What is the Columbus Perl Monger? Where can I find local talented Perl Programmers? Why should I join the Columbus Perl Mongers? Finally, I have recently been thinking about offering some Perl learning aid for non-Perl people. This would be a great Perl service to the community, would promot Perl in general, and would help increase local membership.
