[LA.pm] LA.pm Tech Talk: 01-23-07: Hacking for SCALE!

[Todd Cranston-Cuebas]

I wanted to thank all of you for making our 2006 Tech Talks a success!

 

 If you liked what you saw and heard in '06, be ready for some great
speakers in '07.

 

That being said, it's time for the LA.pm to ask you to show your
appreciation by donating a little "give back" time by attending our next
meeting. The next meeting topic is...

   Hacking for SCALE:
A peer-review/hack-session on a perl benchmarking demo

by Juan Natera
 
Plan to stay afterward to get a bite in a local restaurant. 

Just to give a little background info... the LA.pm has committed to having a
booth at the upcoming SCALE 5 <http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale5x/>
conference (Southern California Linux Expo), to be held the weekend of
February 10-11. First, I recommend you all go. It's a blast. Second, I
recommend that you all volunteer to be in our booth. I'm still in sore need
of fully committed volunteers. Third, as part of this commitment, we need a
demo running at our FREE booth. Juan has graciously given of his time to
work on a visual benchmarking tool to show of perl's stuff and I suggested
to him that this might be a fun opportunity for our members to come together
to look at the tool, the underlying code, and collaborate. Juan is very
eager for the chance to swap ideas so please come. The group needs to band
together to show off perl and spread the good word!
