Message-ID: Just a reminder that the November/December Grand Rapids Perl Mongers meeting is this Friday, December 3! If you have one, please bring a laptop... If you don't have one, that's fine too... As stated earlier, this month's meeting will include a Perl programming competition. We're working out the final details today, but we're thinking about having a robot battle, where each team will program a robot and they'll battle it out in a virtual arena. If we can't get that working, then we'll probably find some other "fun" problem to solve. This will be a TEAM programming contest, and teams will be determined by (hopefully) pairing people with different skill levels. What I'm trying to say is that you don't need to be a Perl expert to participate! Even if you don't know any Perl, this is a good chance to work with others and pick up some practical programming skills. There will be prizes, so don't miss out! We may have some time for a few lightning talks, too, so let me know if you're willing to do a 5-10 minute presentation on a Perl-related topic. The meeting starts at 11:30am, and will be held in the basement of Priority Health at 1239 E. Beltline NE (Just north of Leonard). Building 1239 is the main building you will see in front of you when you enter Priority Health from East Beltline. Tell the receptionist you are looking for Perl Mongers and she should be able to help you find us. The meeting is in Classroom 1. We'll also post signs. Information on ordering food will be in a separate e-mail. Hope to see y'all there!
