I'd love to get together if anyone is interested. I could chat about what went on at YAPC, or just take on a beer. Let me know if anyone is interested. As always these days, let's do Barley's in Shawnee at 7pm tomorrow. -Andy From djgoku at gmail.com Mon Jul 7 08:14:15 2008 From: djgoku at gmail.com (djgoku) Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2008 10:14:15 -0500 Subject: [Kc] July Meeting In-Reply-To: <6c70d2980807070558mdb7d8dfm65438cec37c01116@mail.gmail.com> References: <6c70d2980807070558mdb7d8dfm65438cec37c01116@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <99dd19c90807070814u10b6ec39oa19da16137ad39e6@mail.gmail.com> On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 7:58 AM, Andrew Moore wrote: > Hi KC PMers - > > It looks like the second Tuesday of July is tomorrow.

Make sure you're visible :) OK. I haven't had many RSVP's so I'll probably just grab a high-top in the bar. I'll bring something perlish to read so that you'll know it's me. -Andy From sterling at hanenkamp.com Thu Jul 31 08:50:13 2008 From: sterling at hanenkamp.com (Sterling Hanenkamp) Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:50:13 -0500 Subject: [Kc] Telecommute Job Opportunity Message-ID: I recently started a contract with Grant Street Group in Pittsburgh, PA. I'm working from my home in Manhattan, Kansas. We are in strong need of good Perl developers in the near future. I've pasted in the official listing below, but just to give my personal two cents: It's a good company and the work is challenging. My co-workers include a number of excellent Perl developers and Linux System Admins. The management is very supportive of the development staff and listens carefully to our concerns. We have a very knowledgeable customer support staff that helps us figure out what the customer needs so we can deliver. Our development is on the LAMP platform with clients strongly encouraged to use Firefox. Our developers use their choice of workstation running Windows or Mac OS X, with at least one developer using Linux. Much of our development is done on a Linux terminal. We do a lot of Catalyst, DBIx::Class, and Class::DBI development (that's just the tip of the iceberg). We contribute back to CPAN where we can and we're working on making the process for doing so better. There are also places we need help and could do better. New ideas are welcome and considered carefully. I'd personally like to see more quality developers hired since we just discussed the amount of work we've got to do for the next couple years and the more help we have, the more we can do and the better we can do it. Finally, the company is very friendly to both families and singles. We just had our company picnic and they paid to fly my wife and son to Pittsburgh for it. Our administrative staff did more than I expected to make the arrangements work. There was also a Rock Band party at one of the dev's houses after the picnic. The benefits package (salary/health/bonus/etc.) for employees is excellent, in my opinion. GSG also hires contractors if you prefer to work more independently at an hourly rate.
