Does anyone have a particular opinion for where to have our social
meeting next Thursday?

 * Black Lab - our normal default spot
 * Stag's Head - where we went with brian d foy in October
 * Freebirds - near the Stag's Head, real food (I don't know about
   their beer selection)
 * Other ideas?

We need to make a decision soon so that I can announce the meetup.

I suggest Empire Cafe. http://goo.gl/maps/aV5rg

Barring that, I vote for Stag?s Head as the backup.

I remember the Empire Cafe as being a pretty cool place, but the
parking was ... suboptimal, as I recall. If we had a good turnout, there
would be nowhere nearby to park.

I guess I'll have to go check it out. I don't remember the parking lot
being there the last time I went (a few years back).

For December, we are going to do a social meeting at a different

Thursday, Dec. 12. There should be plenty of parking behind the
building.

Expect lots of socializing and a little Perl.

In 2011, while working for ByWater Solutions, Ruth Bavousett converted
over fifty libraries from diverse legacy library information system
packages to Koha (http://koha-community.org).

In this talk, she talks not only about the code she wrote to handle this
massive undertaking, but the mindset and processes necessary for
consistent high-quality results not only for herself, but for teammates
who followed in her footsteps.

As usual, we will meet at the cPanel offices, 3131 W. Alabama, between
6:30 and 7. Around 7, we'll go up to the training room for the meeting.

Hope to see you there.

of us, but there was plenty of parking.

Most of the attendees were new to the group. The discussions were lively

Subject: [pm_groups] Announcement - Dallas/Ft Worth Perl Mongers
Hackathon Invitational


I just ran this announcement on Google+ and PerlMonks.org.  If you have
a blog or facebook account you could share the news there as well.  We'd
appreciate it.  All groups are invited:

*ANNOUNCEMENT*

You could call it the DFW.pm's "Winter of Code". You could call it a
contest. You could call it fun. You could call it Perl...

...And you'd be right!

DFW.pm (now joined by New York's NY.pm)  is holding in a competition
that runs from now until January 8th when the code of each competitor
will be pitted against the others in a live Google hangout world-wide
Perl Mongers meeting.

The aim of the competition is to "deduplicate" 100 gigabytes of random
file data, using Perl, as fast as possible. If your code can do it the
fastest, without killing the contest server, you win. The winner gets to
choose the topic of the next hackathon competition (and/or host it), and
gets the recognition of having won a world-wide competition in Perl.

*The competition is open to all*, provided a few criteria are met which
establish legitimacy of participation. If you want to compete, YOU'RE
INVITED!

Full details can be read on the dfw.pm.org <http://dfw.pm.org/> website.

The contest is discussed on The DFW.pm mailing list
<http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/dfw-pm>

The hackathon was organized by Tommy Butler and John Fields of Dallas,
TX, and is being hosted by the Dallas Makerspace.  Our resources are
finite, so we may have to stop accepting entries if server load gets too
high.  Get your notice of intention to participate to the mailing list
asap.

Subject: [pm-h] last minute Goodwill run
Message-ID: <CALSf6fQZfM=bA+zbdXSHNd7a0T===Kv0ruK5Q8yky2aK+f+6GQ@mail.gmail.com>

I have something to drop off at the Goodwill on Westheimer - right down the
road. I am happy to bring along anything (or anyone) else. They take
computer equipment; so if you have any *personal* equipment (even if it is
broken or missing parts), it might be a good chance to clear it out (this
especially applies to anyone who might have some paper weights in the
colo). If you need a donation receipt tell me so I can request additional
ones.

I plan on going around noonish.

Thank you,
Brett
