What I'd _really_ appreciate is if everyone on this list could in turn forward this information on to whatever internal email list they have at $WORK. You can pay online for registration via the website, and there will be food and other events like a Sunday hackathon. -dave /*=================================================== VegGuide.Org www.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg.

I'd really, really appreciate it if everyone on this list could forward it to whatever dev/sysadmin lists they have at work. I think this is probably the best way for us to do advertising. Even if you don't use too much Perl at work please send this out, since there may be people interested in learning more about Perl, and we will have a good beginner track at the workshop. Thanks, -dave -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The early bird deadline for Frozen Perl 2008 is fast approaching. After midnight Central on Saturday, January 12th, the rate for non-students will double from $20 to $40. Frozen Perl 2008 is a one-day Perl workshop happening on Saturday, February 16th, with a great schedule of speakers. The theme is "Perl in Practice", and there are a lot of great talks. We have two tracks of talks. For folks new to Perl, there is a strong slate of talks for beginners, including introductions to OOP, testing, and more. For more experienced Perlers, there are talks on Moose, Catalyst, and all sorts of interesting Perl wizardry. Registration includes breakfast and lunch, and possibly a t-shirt, all for the ridiculously cheap price of $20. If you're coming from out of town, there is a group rate at the nearby Days Inn. There will also be an all-day hackathon on Sunday, February 17th for the true geeks. For more information, check out the website at http://www.frozen-perl.org/. You can sign up online, so don't delay. We hope to see you there.

Only one of them is actually perl, the others are PHP and .Net ( email me if you'd like details on these, as I won't post the details to this list). The position would be working on one of the DigitalRiver commerce systems which is written mostly in perl, with some C/C++, using MySQL for it's db. You'd be working as part of a 4 developer team. Our environment is fairly casual with a fun atmosphere, we have cool things like a game room, bring your dog to work days, and beer Friday to mention a few. Send me an email if you're interested. -Gary From autarch at urth.org Thu Jan 17 07:35:13 2008 From: autarch at urth.org (Dave Rolsky) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 09:35:13 -0600 (CST) Subject: [Mpls-pm] Perl (and other) Jobs at Digital River In-Reply-To: <8ab97b230801170727n7fd0f30co5a7419dc1ceb3eb0@mail.gmail.com> References: <8ab97b230801170727n7fd0f30co5a7419dc1ceb3eb0@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: On Thu, 17 Jan 2008, Gary Mullen wrote: > There are currently 3 open positions in the department I'm in.

The perverse part of my brain (well, most of it, I guess) suggests to me that it'd be really funny if I applied for this.
