Subject: [Pdx-pm] The Perl Renaissance - Tonight's meeting at PSU
Message-ID: <201308011644.45225.enobacon@gmail.com>

Hi all,

Please join me for my ninety-somethingth Portland Perl Mongers meeting 
tonight where we endeavor to answer all questions about Perl ranging 
from "What do you mean: multi-paradigmatic?" and "How can I have a mop 
without a moose?" to "How do I list the 3rd word of every file in this 
directory, recursively?" and "In reverse chronological order?".

This meeting features a special speaker speaking on a special day in a 
special place.  Paul ("Paul") Fenwick promises not to poke any fun at 
your accent while presenting The Perl Renaissance, a comedy in 16 acts, 
including:

* Overhauling Perl?s Object Oriented framework with Moose.
* Using MooseX::Method::Signatures for beautiful classes.
* Building web applications using Dancer
* Not worrying about web servers by using Plack.
* Critiquing your code with Perl::Critic
* Write amazing regexps with named captures.
* Install new modules quickly and easily with cpanminus
* Manage Perl installations easily with perlbrew
* A whole swag of new features with perl 5.10?5.16
* Much, much more!

As usual (albeit norther and wester) the meeting will be followed by 
social hour at the Lucky Lab Beer Hall at 1945 NW Quimby.

Howdy fellow Perl Mongers,

Recently my company BrewPony [0] sponsored YAPC::NA 25 with $500. It was an
amazing conf and well worth it.

Now, due to unknown reasons, the BrewPony logo has been removed from the
YAPC::NA website [1].

I have attempted to contact Todd Rinaldo, but he has not been able to get
to the bottom of it.

What is the best course of action in this situation?

When you say you've attempted to contact him, have you actually made
contact? It sounds like, from the second half of your sentence, that
you have -- I'm a little confused.

Seeing as how you're not listed on
http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/our-sponsors.html either, I wonder if
somebody didn't roll the site back to a previous version, not
realizing they were removing your sponsorship info.

> What is the best course of action in this situation?

I think talking to Todd is probably the best way to go...

Subject: [Pdx-pm] looking for a short-term gig in Portland
Message-ID: <86k3jzpre9.fsf@red.stonehenge.com>


As things would have it, I'm actually available for a contract between
Sep 23 and October 30.  If you've ever wanted a concentrated dose of me,
now is your time. :) (Traditionally, my december sales have always been
bad, and I'm going to be in South America for most of November.)

But seriously, I could use something in the Portland area that would be
laser-focused and time-boxed: perhaps code review, refactoring of a
thorny problem, or maybe some pair-programming for skill transfer.  And
I'm probably more affordable than you might think, since I'm finally
(thank the maker) debt free.  Please make me an offer.  I'm an Oregon
corp, so no worries about 1099.

----------  Forwarded Message:  ----------
Date: Friday 09 August 2013
From: Gabor Szabo <gabor at szabgab.com>

Hi,

Recently Mithaldu sent out another call to add "Perl programming" to
our web sites.
http://blogs.perl.org/users/mithaldu/2013/08/do-your-piece-to-fix-tiobe-
or-stop-talking-about-it.html

In general I don't think that this will solve the major issues Perl is
facing, but a few
comments on 
http://www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments/1jvq3f/do_your_piece_to_fix_tiobe_or_stop_talking_about/
convinced me that we are actually misleading TIOBE, and any other
organization comparing these expressions.
While you don't care how TIOBE ranks Perl, other people base their
perception and decisions on that.

Here is the quote that most convinced me:

"Of the first 20 hits for Perl, 17 are actual hits on Perl. Meanwhile
for the 20 Python results, 5 are actually about the programming
language."

So I went ahead and update my two main sites:
The Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/ and the Perl Maven: 
http://perlmaven.com/
adding a sentence with "Perl Programming" in it to every page.
I have some more sites to change this way, but I'd like to go and call
all the Perl Monger leaders.

We have some very powerful web assets in our hands. Even if not many
people visit
the individual Perl Monger sites, they are respected by Google.

So we can use them to promote other Perl-related assets and to point out 
more
web site talking about "Perl Programming" and "Perl Programmers".

So It would be awesome if you could check your web site and make sure

1) it works
2) it has links to some important web site

I even created a recommended list for you based on what I
saw at http://houston.pm.org/ with some personal tweaks.
Please put your "area of service" instead of the dots and pick the links
you'd like to endorse:

This site is about the Perl programming language, especially for Perl
Programmers in

Oh yes, just to "lead by example" I have already updated both

and http://perl.org.il/ with the expressions and with some of the links.

regards and have a wonderful weekend!

Erlang programmers have boasted about high concurrency, fault tolerance,
and high scalability. However, using the language alone for this isn't
enough to guarantee any of these properties: you have to use it right and
play to the platform's strengths.

In this presentation, we will explore some common application design
patterns, tools, libraries, and optimizations used by Erlang developers for
production systems.

Join us for this *free hands-on webcast*. You can enjoy this informative
presentation from the comfort of your computer chair!

Subject: [Pdx-pm] September meeting in 2 weeks
Message-ID: <CAJFr3ktTKEvtD2KtX3MdSDGsWnsc-RazwzOGq8p6UKWdsNG9pQ@mail.gmail.com>

Meeting Date: Thursday September 12'th, 2013
Meeting Time: 6:53?8:30pm
Speaker: Chad Granum (me)
Topic: Fennec, testing, and making life easier.

http://calagator.org/events/1250464509

https://github.com/PortlandPerlMongers/portlandperlmongers.github.io/wiki/Meeting-2013-September

I will be presenting on a couple modules that simply make life easier. The
primary one will be Fennec. Fennec makes testing much easier, and solves a
lot of problems for you. If you are not using Fennec you are working too
hard on your tests.

Other modules will be presented time-allowing and depending on group
interest.

Thanks,

Chad
