May interest some peeps. "How do you get to be a great musician? It helps to know the theory, and to understand the mechanics of your instrument. It helps to have talent. But ultimately, greatness comes from practicing; applying the theory over and over again, using feedback to get better every time. How do you get to be an All-Star sports person? Obviously fitness and talent help. But the great athletes spend hours and hours every day, practicing. But in the software industry we take developers trained in the theory and throw them straight in to the deep-end, working on a project. It?s like taking a group of fit kids and telling them that they have four quarters to beat the Redskins (hey, we manage by objectives, right?). In software we do our practicing on the job, and that?s why we make mistakes on the job. We need to find ways of splitting the practice from the profession. We need practice sessions." http://katas.softwarecraftsmanship.org/?page_id=2 http://codekata.pragprog.com/ -- Alec Clews Personal Melbourne, Australia Jabber: alecclews at jabber.org PGPKey ID: 0x9BBBFC7C Blog http://alecthegeek.wordpress.com/ From toby.corkindale at strategicdata.com.au Sun Jun 5 19:03:37 2011 From: toby.corkindale at strategicdata.com.au (Toby Corkindale) Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2011 12:03:37 +1000 Subject: [Melbourne-pm] June meeting - this wednesday!

Afterwards we'll retire to the Standard Hotel for a few beers. The meeting will be held courtesy of Strategic Data, at: Strategic Data Level 2 51-55 Johnston street Fitzroy The meeting will start at approximately 6:30pm.

There's probably 40 hours per month for a few months at least. Could probably be compressed into shorter timeframe but ideally looking for someone who is happy to take on bits and pieces after the initial load of changes. Possibly can put someone on an ongoing maintenance contract type arrangement with guaranteed hours per month. If you're interested please let me know off-list. Alternatively if there is a better place to ask let me know.

Phenona was founded by 15-year-old Daniil Kulchenko of Seattle when he couldn't find a way to deploy his contract Perl apps to the cloud. He decided that there should and could be an easy solution for Perl cloud deployment, created Phenona, and took the Phenona solution to beta a few months back. The Phenona technology, knowledge, and talent will extend our cloud strategy while helping us accelerate our development in the fast-paced cloud market. Phenona's use of open source components, portability, security and multi-tenancy model all fit closely with our cloud strategy and we will leverage Phenona's stack into the ActiveState cloud product roadmap. The acquisition of Phenona solidifies our commitment to bring you, our ActiveState customers and subscribers, the best solutions for dynamic (scripting) languages on the cloud. ActiveState recently entered the cloud market with Stackato, the first end-to-end enterprise cloud platform for Perl and Python (currently in Developer Preview). Read the full Phenona acquisition press release, or-if you want to get on the cloud-sign up for the Stackato Developer Preview, and get your Perl and Python apps on the cloud!

I dare say they could, with the permission of the people giving the talks. Alfie, Stephen, Matt - how do you feel about that? I have an aging (11 years) Sony DV cam that I can use, but if a member with modern hardware would like to take over, they are welcome to volunteer.. :) Cheers, Toby From tjc at wintrmute.net Thu Jun 30 21:14:05 2011 From: tjc at wintrmute.net (Toby Wintermute) Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2011 14:14:05 +1000 Subject: [Melbourne-pm] Fwd: Perl 5 core maintenance fund drive In-Reply-To: <20110629175951.GH2604@plum.flirble.org> References: <20110629175951.GH2604@plum.flirble.org> Message-ID: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nicholas Clark Date: 30 June 2011 03:59 Subject: Perl 5 core maintenance fund drive You may or may not be aware that Dave Mitchell, one of the longstanding Perl 5 core committers, has been paid for the past year or so to work on fixing hard and long standing bugs in the Perl 5 core, thanks to a generous grant of $50,000 booking.com made to TPF. However, that money is almost exhausted. Dave would be happy to continue, and I'm now in a position where I'd be able and willing to be paid to work on maintaining and bettering the Perl 5 core. Hence The Perl Foundation has launched a "Perl 5 Core Maintenance Fund", and a funding drive to raise an initial $25,000, to cover 3 months work. Better still, Vienna Perl Mongers will match the first $10,000 of donations, dollar for dollar, putting the surplus from YAPC::Europe 2007 to very good use. ?http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl_5_core_maintenance_fund ?http://vienna.pm.org/10_000_dollars_for_the_perl5_core_maintenance_fund.html ?https://secure.donor.com/pf012/give ? ?<-- donate here <-- TPF are looking for both for individual and corporate donations. I'd hope that it particularly appeals to companies wishing to give something back to Perl, or wanting to raise their visibility in the Perl world, and to Perl developers. Given the number of firms in London currently trying hard to recruit Perl developers, I'd hope that they see this as a much-cheaper-than-pimps way of getting themselves noticed, ahead of their competition. Much that I'd love to, I can't actually promise that donating will get you a better class of candidate when recruiting, but TPF is able to offer the following * donating $1000 or more gets your logo used, and a mention in the weekly ?report(s) you paid for * donate $10000 or more and TPF will issue a joint press release thanking ?you profusely, on their homepage and of course, while match funds last (so get in quick) * "Buy Dave, get me free". Or something like that :-) Nicholas Clark PS Even though this message mentions the naughty 4 letter word, I consider it ? still "on topic", as it's about raising money for me to buy beer. ?

I guess he doesn't mean 'perl'. :) Actually, he does :) The joke goes that Perl is off-topic on that particular perl mailing, because for a while at one point, it seemed like all people discussed was beer, buffy, pies, and so forth instead.
