Hi everyone...

Here's a final announcement (with floor & room info) for this coming 
Monday's TPM meeting.  I've put a bit more info than usual because I 
understand that some people from other PM groups (Buffalo esp.) are 
interested in coming in for the talk.

Cheers,
Richard

     Date:     Monday 29 November 2004

     Time:     6:45pm

     Location: 2 Bloor St. W.
               (NW corner of Yonge & Bloor, CIBC Skyscraper)

               16th floor, room 9

               Note that someone will have to fetch you from the lobby
               because security locks down the elevators after 5:30pm.
               Go to the security desk when you arrive to ask for the
               cell phone # for the TPM meeting -- when you call it,
               someone will come to get you.  Floor & room info will be
               left at the security desk as well.

     Parking:  You should budget to arrive "in the area" 20 minutes
               before the talk to find parking and to walk from parking
               to 2 Bloor St. W.  This is a super-busy downtown area
               with frustrating driving conditions, so be warned.
               You should be able to find parking garages off of
               Cumberland St. (parallel to Bloor, 1 small block to its
               north, running W. of Yonge St.) or at Hayden St.
               (1 small block south of Bloor, parallel to it, to the E.
               of Yonge)

     Topic:    Mac OS X and Perl

     Speaker:  Steve Hayman (from Apple)

               Note that Steve gave a keynote talk on this topic at
               YAPC::NA 2004 in Buffalo and it was really good!

     Description:
     ------------
     Every Macintosh ships with Mac OS X and Perl 5.8, but so what?
     What's this UNIX-based operating system all about, and how does Perl
     fit in? Apple Consulting Engineer Steve Hayman will review the state
     of Perl on Mac OS X, and show how it is exactly-almost-kind of-like
     Perl on other platforms, and demonstrate how scripting on the Mac
     can be completely "unlike" other platforms.
