Feedback, anyone? Monthly Meetings ---------------- With the December meeting normally cancelled due to the holidays, Grand Rapids Perl Mongers normally meet about 11 times per year. How about the following meeting schedule? - Lightning Talks (4 meetings per year) would consist of short 5-10 minute presentations by Grand Rapids Perl Mongers members on a variety of Perl-related topics. - Social Meetings (4 meetings per year) would consist of informal evening or lunch time meetings at local restaurants to discuss Perl and general geek stuff. - Guest Speakers (2 meetings per year) would consist of 1-1.5 hour talks on Perl topics by invited or volunteer guest speakers. - Introduction to Perl (1 meeting per year) would consist of a 1-1.5 hour introduction to perl. Special Events -------------- Grand Rapids Invitational Perl Programming Competition - Invite other nearby Perl Mongers groups to compete in a Perl programming competition. Also invite nearby colleges, etc. Get corporate sponsors to provide awards. Maybe print t-shirts and provide food (per entry fee). Perl Colloquia - Provide public "intro to perl" talks and maybe more advanced perl training talks at local colleges (Calvin, GVSU, Hope, etc.) and/or at other local venues (bookstore, donated public meeting space, etc.). Book Giveaways - Give away books to people who bring new friends (or enemies) to Perl Mongers (at certain meetings). T-Shirts - Have T-shirts printed! Design ideas anyone? -- Matt Hahnfeld President, Grand Rapids Perl Mongers From matt at diephouse.com Mon Oct 25 22:04:11 2004 From: matt at diephouse.com (Matt Diephouse) Date: Mon Oct 25 22:04:15 2004 Subject: [grand-rapids-pm-list] Ideas for future GR Perl Mongers activities/meetings In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Oct 25, 2004, at 9:30 PM, Matt Hahnfeld wrote: > T-Shirts - Have T-shirts printed! Design ideas anyone? There was some discussion recently about t-shirts and the use of the camel on the PM-Groups mailing list. (The camel is a trademark of O'Reilly, but it's pretty easy to get permission to use it.) Anyway, the president of SouthFlorida.pm pointed the list to what their t-shirts looks like: http://southflorida.pm.org/t-shirts/ They're pretty nice. -- matt diephouse http://matt.diephouse.com
