Hi All,
The next Oakland.pm meeting is just a week off.
David Wheeler is giving a Bricolage Presentation.
As a reminder, I'm forwarding
David's reply to an earlier email announcing
that he had agreed to do this.

That's a good start. There's more information on the Bricolage site, as
well as the Kineticode site. See the "News" section of the Kineticode
site for links to articles about Bricolage.

Yes, and I founded Kineticode to provide consulting and support
services for Bricolage, as well.

Bricolage is open source. You can download it and install it and play
with it if you like (requires Apache with static mod_perl, PostgreSQL,
and several million CPAN modules). I've also written an introduction to
Bricolage that has been published as Appendix D in the O'Reilly Mason
book.

And of course, all of the documentation is on the Bricolage web site,
including some introductory documents, a FAQ, and a couple of HOWTOs.

See you all in February!
Regards,
David
