[kw-pm] Tonight's meeting: misc. announcements

[Daniel R. Allen]

Some misc announcements from people who've approached me in the last few
days:

-- 
I've been asked by the organizer of an upcoming Linux Installfest to
announce it and garner volunteers who are willing to give a (20? 30?)
minute talk to people interested in Linux.  Possible topics include why
perl is a cool part of linux, or open-source in general...  The
Installfest is at the University of Waterloo, the afternoon of Wednesday
the 16th.  If you've got any interest in giving a talk, speak with me, or
with tvinar at uwaterloo.ca .

--
Last night I ran into Cedric, an occasional social-perl guy, and a great
guy besides, who has a short-term Perl gig on offer.  He works for an IC
fabrication company (60 employees or so), in the area.  They need help
cleaning up a batch of ~20 perl scripts.  They will pay good programmers
wages.  For more details, email cedric at thinkers.org .

--
Secondly, I got an email from a criley at uwaterloo.ca, who has a position
open at the U of Guelph, with the "Advanced Food and Materials
Network"; and I quote:

"Required Skills: PHP, PEAR, Fusebox, MySQL, Linux, CSS, XML, HTML,
graphics design, javascript.

Asset Skills: ability in written french, flash, experience with RDF and
RSS, formal database training."

Email Corban Riley at the above address for more info.

See you tonight, I hope!
