We have Jonathan Rockway from Chicago speaking on "Catalyst Basics" - a web application framework written in Perl (see below or our website for details - yes, the website: http://grand-rapids.pm.org/). Jonathan will provide an introduction to Catalyst as well as answer these and other questions: - Compare/Contrast Catalyst to Ruby on Rails. - When is Catalyst a good fit, when is it not? - How well can Catalyst be integrated with existing web apps? Please RSVP for free pizza lunch. Hope to see you there! Also, there has been discussion of trying to move Andy's talk (Fri, Sep 28 5:30PM) to another night of the week. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Message-ID: <2c97fe9d0709090053g15184690o2886e0b40e0a55a8@mail.gmail.com> I'm looking for an accomplice really... I've got some snippets of code lying around, along with a full specification for a spiffy distributed, fault-tolerant storage system, with all sorts of niceities. And I'd like to strap it on to FUSE and end up with something mountable, but between work, the Open Hardware Foundation, and the bazillion other projects I make for myself, I find myself eternally short on time. :-/ Anyone interested in lending a hand?

We had hoped to have audio/video of the presentation available, but the ambient noise level was pretty high. However, Jonathan has the slides, as well as the source code, available on his website: http://www.jrock.us/ Thanks again, Jonathan! My previous note says the rest.

I'm going to present a list of cool stuff about Perl (currently at about 25 topics) and will talk about as many of them as possible.
