Subject: [pm-h] May Meeting
Message-ID: <20100505214911.01da105f@sovvan>

The May meeting is next Thursday, May 13 at our normal meeting place,
3131 W. Alabama at 7 pm. Please RSVP to me or the list, so that we can
have an approximate headcount for potential dinner.

This month we will continue our introductory Perl sessions with a
discussion of "Programming Paradigms in Perl".

I know some may not think of this as introductory material, but I'm
going to attempt to convince you otherwise.

In last month's meeting, we talked about object oriented Perl and some
attendees were not sure what that meant. This meeting I will try to
explain some of the programming paradigms you are likely to stumble
across in using Perl code and help you understand what you need to know
to use them.

By the end of the meeting, you should be able to recognize which
paradigms particular modules supports and be able to work with any of
them.

I look forward to seeing you there.
G. Wade

Good deal.  Me and Brad Oaks from Raleigh
NC are the only ones on right now.  The action
hasn't started yet, but probably will soon.

We're able to log into dimdim now, and the houston.pm user is marked
as the moderator.

We're not seeing anything else on the shared screen, and Mike and I
are the only ones who have dialed in.

At YAPC::NA this year, I will be talking about "Data Visualization with
SVG and Perl".

If anyone would be interested, I can do a preview of the talk at next
month's meeting. For those not going to YAPC this year, it will be a
chance to see the talk.

Any interest?

Yes, I am interested.  I probably won't attend the
meeting, but might join via dim-dim.

So YAPC is at Ohio State Univ this year.
Very good.

Actually I was thinking you and Robert could each do the 40 minute
limited talks you'll be doing at YAPC. We can have mini YAPC right
here in Houston!.

The Perl Survey 2010 is now live.  Its purpose is to better understand
the demographics and opinions of the Perl community.  You can complete
the survey at http://survey.perlfoundation.org - it should take about
10 to 15 minutes.  Once you've done that, please let your relevant
friends and colleagues know about the survey so they can coplete it as
well.  My aim is to get a response of over 1000 individuals, and to
run the survey (lightly adapted) every two or three years so we can
see how the community changes over time.  The official announcement of
the survey is here:

Subject: [pm-h] June Houston.pm Meeting
Message-ID: <20100531221831.144ca9d7@sovvan>

The next Houston.pm meeting is a week from Thursday on June 10. We'll
meet at 3131 W. Alabama between 6:30 and 6:50 as usual, with the
meeting starting at 7pm.

The topic will be "Data Visualization with Perl and SVG".

This is the topic I will be presenting this year at YAPC::NA. If you
won't get a chance to go to YAPC, this will be a chance to see one of
the topics actually presented. If you are planning to go to YAPC, this
will save you from listening to me talk at the conference.<grin/>

I'll be introducing SVG and showing how to display data from Perl using
this interesting open graphics format.

I look forward to seeing you there.
