[Perth-pm] Drinks next Wednesday (4th January 2010) - Belgian beer Café, City

[James Bromberger]

Happy new year Perth Perl Mongers!

It's nearly that time again, the /1st Wednesday of the month/ is this
coming Wednesday, 4th of January 2011. We're catching up at the *Belgian
Beer Café* on Murray Street (http://www.belgianbeer.com.au/) in the city
from 6:30pm. Call my mobile if you're looking for me/us (0422166708).

This month I'm going to try and bring my laptop along, with the Parrot
2.11 release and Raduko Start release that implements much of Perl 6,
and see if we can do something interesting. From the web site:

    /Rakudo Star is aimed at "early adopters" of Perl 6. We know that it
    still has some bugs, it is far slower than it ought to be, and there
    are some advanced pieces of the Perl 6 language specification that
    aren't implemented yet. But Rakudo Perl 6 in its current form is
    also proving to be viable (and fun) for developing applications and
    exploring a great new language. These "Star" releases are intended
    to make Perl 6 more widely available to programmers, grow the Perl 6
    codebase, and gain additional end-user feedback about the Perl 6
    language and Rakudo's implementation of it./

I am still looking for someone to speak at our gatherings on a
Perl/-ish/ type topic. If you have something fun that you have worked on
and would like to present or discuss, please let me know. Hence I'll
take the lead this month and fiddle with Perl6. I've not looked at it
before, and there may well be some of you who are better placed than I
to do this... let me know if that's you!

I'm also after a few suggestions for the *next few venues*. Ideally its
got to be near to some transport, or have good parking, or both;
hopefully with food, not too noisy that we can't talk, interesting and
'reasonably' central. I'm thinking of possibly The Lucky Shag Waterfront
BarAddress:Station is accessible(http://www.luckyshagbar.com.au/),
potentially Paddy Hannan's at Burswood, .... give us your suggestions.
I'd like to have the *next 3 meetings *planned if possible.

Happy new year,

  James
