Thanks, Marsee O'Reilly Media is conducting research about in-person, live workshops on software and business topics, and we'd really like your opinion. If you live in the United States and work in the tech industry, please consider taking our 19 question survey to help us understand what you look for in a live training course ? what motivates you, what you expect to get out of a workshop, what topics you'd like to see, and so forth. To participate, please go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=3bFGXzVnXige7WrPdJ0wAQ_3d_3d To show our appreciation, we'll select 10 people at random to receive a free book of your choice. The drawing will happen on Friday, October 17, so you'll need to complete the survey by that date to enter. The last question on the survey will ask for your e-mail ? we'll use that only to contact the randomly selected winners ? and your responses will remain anonymous. Thank you!

This month Todd Chapman will be presenting on Request Tracker (RT). RT is implemented in Perl and highly customizable at many levels. Todd will be showing the basics of installing RT and how to write code to make it do your bidding. Here's a bit about RT from http://www.bestpractical.com/rt. RT is an enterprise-grade ticketing system which enables a group of people to intelligently and efficiently manage tasks, issues, and requests submitted by a community of users. The RT platform has been under development since 1996, and is used by systems administrators, customer support staffs, IT managers, developers and marketing departments at thousands of sites around the world. Written in object-oriented Perl, RT is a high-level, portable, platform independent system that eases collaboration within organizations and makes it easy for them to take care of their customers. RT is used by Fortune 100 companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and development organizations worldwide. The meeting location is One ePrize Drive, Pleasant Ridge, MI 48069. The meeting starts at 7pm with food provided by ePrize. Please RSVP to todd.chapman at eprize.com so we can be sure to order enough food for everyone.
