Message-ID: <200709031417.31923.george@metaart.org>

hi all,
i have some books [to giveaway at the meeting].

can someone pick them up at my place [near lake merrit in oakland]
and take them to arden's place [in rockridge in oakland]
before saturday [the day of our meeting].

if i can't get them to arden's before saturday,
currently my plan
is to just bring the names of the books to the meeting
and let people pick them up at my place.

- george

p.s. i make this request partly because
my left arm is not fully funtional yet
and it's difficult for me to transport books.

Hi

Please share the following press announcement with your members
if you think they will be interested.

--Marsee


Women of Tech: Hear Us Roar, A Special Series from www.oreillynet.com
The Mighty Voices of Sisterhood in Tech

Sebastopol, CA--There's no doubt that women coders, developers, designers,
and programmers are a powerful force in the modern tech industry, despite
their smaller numbers compared to men. At the same time many of the major
impacts and innovations of women at every level of the development and
evolution of technology--from the first female coders to today's Web 2.0
pioneers--aren't all that well known.

But starting now, O'Reilly Media aims to celebrate and give voice to the
real-world experiences and concerns of these female trailblazers by
publishing a new online series, "Women in Tech." The brainchild of Tatiana
Apandi, an associate editor at O'Reilly, the series features articles
solicited from technology's female side--and all focused on what it's like
to carve out a career in technology.

The timely new series reveals the challenges, rewards, and, sometimes,
frustrations of being a woman in an industry still dominated by men. "Each
day, we'll present a different woman's story that I believe will open
readers' eyes to her unique perspective," explains Apandi. "We have
contributions from conference organizers, authors, programmers,
developers, and more--women who have pioneered prosperous careers in
technology."

"As the series progresses, I hope readers find that this myriad of female
perspectives shows how valuable it is to hear different points of view,"
says Tatiana. "Whether readers think there are issues on which we need to
work or that there are no issues at all, one underlying truth is that we
need to support each other as individuals and help one another with our
separate goals."

With clarity, honesty, and wit, this collection reveals what it's like to
be in the minority of the male-dominated geek culture. Here are just a few
of the voices in this upcoming series:

- Anna Martelli, Ravenscroft, Pythonista
- Audrey Eschright, independent programmer/designer/publisher
- CJ Rayhill, SVP of Product Management and Technology for Safari Books
Online
- Dawn Foster, Director of Developer Relations at Jive Software
- Dru Lavigne, Chair of the BSD Certification Group Inc
- Gabrielle Roth, member of the Portland Perl Mongers
- Jeni Tennison, independent consultant and author
- Jill Dyche, partner and co-founder of Baseline Consulting
- Juliet Kemp, Systems Administrator for the Astrophysics group at
Imperial College
- Julia Lerman, Board member of the Vermont Software Developer Alliance,
runs the Vermont.NET User Group
- Kaliya Hamlin, unconference Shesgeeky.org organizer
- Kirsten Jones, webmaster for The Perl Foundation
- Lauren Wood, Chaired for the W3C DOM Working Group
- Leslie Hawthorn, works for Open Source Programs Office at Google
- Selena Deckelmann, leads PDXPUG, a PostgreSQL Users Group
- Shelley Powers, software developer/architect, photographer, and author

The "Women in Tech," series starts Sept 4. Find out what they have to

hi all,
arden came by my place for a different purpose

thanks again to david fetter for his offer to transport the books.

(Hi: You're invited to the BayLISA Monitoring SIG, Weds Sept 12, 7PM.
See the meeting announcement pasted below: feel free to post it and/or
forward it along to anyone else who might be interested. Many thanks,
and hope to see you there!)


=================================================

Sept. 2007 BayLISA Monitoring SIG: Data Integration


Traditionally, acquiring the tools needed to create customized
solutions that featured data persistence, data stream
cross-referencing, cross-platform deployment, distributed architecture,
and data aggregation from across multiple network domains required
extensive use of proprietary software. (Consider the example of trying
to merge Nagios, Ganlgia, SNMP, etc. data so that you can display it
simultaneously.)  Roger Ruttimann, project lead for Foundation
(http://gwfoundation.sourceforge.net/) will talk about how Open Source
components have matured to the point where building enterprise-class
data aggregation and mining tools is relatively simple.


What: BayLISA Monitoring SIG X: Data Integration
Who: Anyone interested in IT monitoring issues and tools (newbies
particularly welcome!)
When: Wednesday, Sept 12 2007, 7PM
Where: GroundWork Open Source, 139 Townsend St., San Francisco
How: 139 Townsend St. is very near AT&T Ballpark. It is two blocks from
the CalTrain Depot. Take the MUNI N, T or J trolley to 2nd and King
(ballpark stop) or take the 30 or 45 bus (among others) crosstown. The
Giants are playing a home game that evening (vs. Arizona, 7:15 start) so
things will be hectic on the streets around GroundWork: street parking
will be nonexistent, paid parking will be astronomically expensive, and
public transportation will be slow and crowded: allow extra time for
travel.
Cost: Free!!


Abundant pizza,  an extensive assortment of fine soft drinks, and lots
of snacks will be provided by GroundWork. We'll open up the doors at
6:30 or so and start the formal part of the meeting promptly at 7PM.


RSVP (not necessary, but helpful): Peter

Folks,

You've all dealt with it: a code base so crufty and thrown-together
that you're left wondering what to do.

Fred Moyer will help.

To get free food and drink, RSVP.  Email is OK, but going through the
link below is more convenient for your host and sponsors.

To get a free, spiffy Postgres T-shirt, get to Casa Donde

stuff some folders.

Thanks to MyNewPlace.com for sponsoring this.

Cheers,

I have similar love for Object::InsideOut (except that it's easy to install).
It lets you declaratively declare the members of your class, and auto-
generates accessors, modifiers, and a constructor (with hashref "named args").
Similarly, it lets you declare the required and optional args to your
methods--even their types or regexes--and checks them at run-time.
It does all this using :attributes that you stick on your methods/variables--
not source filters.  And it's thread-safe.  Definitely worth checking out.

It's sad that we're even discussing the myriad ways to do objects with Perl,
but, IMO, Object::InsideOut has finally nailed the problem.

Nice to see folks again; thanks for sharing your favorite modules... I can
see that there are a couple I'm going to have to try out. Sorry I had to
leave and miss the refreshments :-)

Steve: the book I mentioned to you is: "Perl Testing: A Developer's
Notebook" by Ian Langworth & chromatic. Very practical; little fluff or
theoretical stuff; great into to Test::More and friends.  It even discusses
Test::WWW::Mechanize.

Cheers...jon

Folks,

You've all dealt with it: a code base so crufty and thrown-together
that you're left wondering what to do.

Fred Moyer will help.

To get free food and drink, RSVP.  Email is OK, but going through the
link below is more convenient for your host and sponsors.
http://postgresql.meetup.com/1/calendar/6143101/

To get a free, spiffy Postgres T-shirt, get to Casa Donde
<http://casadonde.org/> an hour early (around 6:30) and be ready to
stuff some folders.

Thanks to MyNewPlace.com for sponsoring this.

Cheers,
David.

HI George,

Is it possible to have the meeting minute or a review of the useful Perl Module presented during the last meeting?  I am wondering if there is a possibility to have the gathering closer to the south bay like maybe Fremont or Sunnyvale.  Berkeley is really a far place to me.

The following are the topics that I am interested in hearing from the group:
Perl 6, Perl MVC Framework, Perl Best Practice, Perl useful one liner, and Perl OOP & Design Patterns.

Thanks.

George,
I am Brad Fuellenbach a member of  the Oakland Perl Mongers group.
I am a recruiter for Google is it ok if I make myself available to members
that would be interested in Google work opportunities to give
Oakland Perl Mongers my contact information and let them know that we are
looking with strong software engineering skills?
Thanks
Brad

hi indra,
good to hear from you.

== modules
if the people who talked on modules want to speak briefly again,
we could have a review of modules people have found useful
at the december meeting.
i'm assuming you plan to come. Is that correct?

== meeting in fremont or sunnyvale
i quite understand your wanting a meeting closer to south bay.
i have three suggestions:
* revive siliconvalley.pm.
* start a .pm group in south bay [e.g. sunnyvale.pm].
* go to sf.pm meetings.
if you decide to start a .pm group in south bay,
i'd be glad to help get it started.
while members of oakland.pm typically live in east bay,
i think some others [besides yourself] do live in south bay.

so far oakland.pm has met in oakland, berkeley and alameda.
currently we meet in the rockridge part of oakland [very close to berkeley].
in the future, we'll likely meet in oakland or in adjacent cities.
if we met, even for just one meeting, in fremont or sunnyvale,
i probably wouldn't go myself.

== topics
thanks for the topic suggestions!
IMO, those are all good topics appropriate for the group.

currently we are only having meetings where: 
* there is a specific reason to have the meeting.
* [and] there is the energy and will in the group to organize the meeting.
are you up for organizing a meeting on one of the topics you suggest?

i believe we've had two meetings on perl 6 and one on design patterns.
i have no objection to having meetings on any of the topics you suggest 
[including perl 6].

i'm thinking you probably own a copy of perl best practices.
i mention this because i have a copy to give away.

i  thought of another possibility.
you are welcome to coordinate 
a discussion of any of the topics you suggested
on this mailing list.

==
thanks again for your interesting post.
-george

hi brad,
thanks for asking.

i have no problem with:
* your posting your contact information to the group.
* your mentioning that google is looking for people 
   with a strong software engineering background.
* your suggesting people contact you if interested.
i do insist that such communications be infrequent and low key.

if people are paying attention,
they've likely already got the message.
however, a more explicit repeat would be fine.

- george

p.s. do the jobs involve perl?

Women and Technology Summit in Santa Clara September 26-29. Learn
technical tips and tricks to improve your site's speed and performance
detailed in Steve Souders new book High Performance Web Sites, allowing

***Steve Souders at The Future of Web Apps Conference--Oct?3-5
London, UK
Author and Chief Performance Yahoo! Steve Souders (High Performance Web
Sites) will deliver a Developer Track presentation on his 14 rules of
best practices for making web pages faster. He will go into more detail
in a workshop on the last day, expounding on research, case studies, and
performance tools, and advocating a faster user experience for all web
users. These guidelines focus on the front end, for example, why it's
bad to use "@import" for including stylesheets and why ETags disable
browser caching. These best practices have proven to reduce response
times of Yahoo! properties by 25-50%.

***Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene at NYCSPIN--Oct?9
Microsoft, NY, NY
"Head First PMP" authors Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene talk
through the ways that software projects fail, using the signature humor
and insight in the acclaimed "Head First" series. There's an old saying:
"There's only one way to succeed, but a million ways to fail." But that
saying just isn't true when it comes to software projects. As it turns
out, there are a small number of ways that projects fail, and they'll
sound eerily familiar to any project manager, software engineer or
programmer who's been around for more than a few years. Many software
projects that started out as a small, stopgap utility turn into raging
behemoths, sucking seemingly unlimited time from your programmers. Or
the president of your company announced that your project will be done
this week, even though you know that it still has an enormous number of
bugs. Or your team delivered the software, only to have users complain
that an entire feature is missing. Or every time the team fixes a bug,
they seem to uncover a dozen more--including ones that you know were
fixed six months ago. Once you know how projects fail, you can do what
you need to do to keep them on track.

***Calling All Flex Developers
Are you doing any development work (including skinning and UI design)

their best stuff, and O'Reilly and Adobe are partnering on a book that
will include some of the best contributions from the site. Each
contribution uses the classic O'Reilly cookbook
"Problem/Solution/Explanation" format; if you've got strong material to
show the rest of the world, it couldn't be easier to write up your
material in the online fields, and join the cookbook party. Flex
developers are in very short supply in an exploding market, so here's
your chance to show your stuff to the rest of the community!

***An Introduction to Erlang
Not long ago, ONLamp readers were introduced to Haskell, a functional
language. Another popular functional language is Erlang, which also
features powerful features to manage concurrency. Gregory Brown recently
tried it out, and has this summary.

***Linux vs. BSD, What's the Difference?
Linux mavens are usually pretty sure they'll never go back to (or start
using) Windows. They may like Mac OS, but usually don't jump ship for
that either. But how about the other open source Unix descendant, BSD?
Dru Lavigne offers a basic primer on what's different in PC-BSD for a
Linux user, and what's better.

***Schemaless Java-XML Data Binding with VTD-XML
This article introduces a Java-XML binding technique based on VTD-XML
and XPath. This approach doesn't mandate a schema, takes advantage of
XML's inherent loose encoding, and avoids needless object creation, so
it is much more efficient for lightweight data binding.
