Sempre che in lista nel frattempo non emergano criteri diversi per scegliere la data. Per quello che riguarda i technical meeting, visto il numero di membri per ora relativamente basso, si pu? pensare di fare il primo presso DADA, in Viale Giovine Italia. * IPW A Giugno. Ricordo che la partecipazione ? gratuita, ma farete un piacere agli organizzatori registrandovi sul sito (www.perl.it/workshop). * YAPC Da qualche anno chiedono "Quando lo fate in Italia?". Ieri sera non se ne ? parlato molto, ma ? significativo che Simone abbia chiesto quanto ? impegnativo organizzarne uno (tempo e denaro da investire). E' significativo perch? Simone con il Ferrara LUG ha esperienza nell'organizzazione di questo genere di eventi, e potrebbe starci la zampata (inoltre fare YAPC a Firenze ? una attrattiva in pi?). * Firenze LUG La settimana prossima ci sar? la seconda Hack Night. Abbiamo progettato di partecipare in gruppo, anche per facilitare gli spostamenti verso la sede. Ulteriori accordi per chi tra i monger ? interessato potrebbero avvenire qui. * Sito C'?. Se qualcuno vuole un account per aggiungere notizie, me lo dica. Se qualcuno ha delle idee per sezioni/servizi da aggiungere, pure. * O'Reilly User Group L'altro giorno ho iscritto Firenze.pm al programma O'Reilly di supporto gruppi. Nella pratica: sconti per i membri, e possibilit? di ricevere libri da recensire. Nei prossimi giorni dovrei essere contattato da O'Reilly per la conferma, e poi cominceranno a mandarci la newsletter con le novit?. Alla prossima :) ciao, S.

Scrivo per ricordare che il prossimo meeting si terr? il 12 Aprile (secondo mercoled? del mese). I dettagli sono ancora da stabilire. Verosimilmente ci ritroveremo per cena, per facilitare i pendolari che -giustamente [1]- non hanno voglia di bighellonare una volta liberi dagli impegni di lavoro, in attesa dell'ora del pub. Attendo proposte per il luogo dove cenare: per ora c'? solo quella di osfameron, che segnalava: " Io propongo Rose's in via del Parione ( http://www.roses.it/ ) in quanto e' vicino abbastanza alla stazione per chi deve scappare, e poi mi interessa andarci. (Sushi!) " Ho sentito dire, inoltre, che il locale si presta anche al dopocena: potrebbero cos? raggiungerci altri monger che non possono liberarsi per cena. ciao, S.
