From millerscotteric at gmail.com Fri Jun 26 20:40:27 2015 From: millerscotteric at gmail.com (Scott Miller) Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2015 23:40:27 -0400 Subject: [Philadelphia-pm] An Introduction and Inquiry About meetings Message-ID: Hello all, My name is Scott and I am learning Perl right now. I decided to learn the language because I'm teaching myself Linux administration and I wanted to learn to program. I've dabbled in other languages before, but never really progressed beyond the beginner stage. I decided on Perl since I know it's useful in systems administration as well as web server programming. I stumbled upon the Philly Perlmongers group while browsing the Perl.org site, and I was excited to join a group, hoping that will give me more incentive and opportunities to learn; however, the site hasn't been updated since 2014, and when I inquired in the IRC group I found out that the group hasn't met since 2014. Is anyone else interested in meetings? Thanks, Scott -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yes, lunch is another option. I got the impression on IRC that Scott works and/or lives in the suburbs, so maybe that doesn't work for him. I live in Rosemont but work at Drexel, so lunch might be a little easier for me. Walt -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. It's true that we haven't had a meeting since sometime in 2014. I've gotten involved more with some other groups, especially the Philadelphia Linux Users Group, and it's hard to find time to do everything. Still, it's been too long since we've met, and we should try to do something. Traditionally we've had 2 types of meetings: technical and social. The technical meetings would be someone giving a talk about something perl-related, and then we'd go get food and/or beers afterwards. For the social meetings we skip the talks and just meet someplace for dinner. We'd been meeting for a long time at Penn, but our contact there has left so we have to find someplace else. Also, if we were to meet on July 6 that doesn't leave time to find a volunteer and for them to prepare a talk. So maybe a social meeting would be better for July. The place we've met most often is the Nodding Head Brewpub on the 1500 block of Sansom in Center City. Sometimes we've gone someplace else, such as Chinatown. On rarer occasions we've ventured out in the wilds of suburbia. Any thoughts? And if we were to have a technical meeting, what would you want to learn about?

Unfortunately it turns out I can't reserve the room I want after 5 PM. Sorry. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm also interested and trying to contact people in UPenn's Engineering School about room reservation. It seems that some previous meeting is in Levine Hall, so it's likely to work. Regards, Yixuan (Perhaps a short introduction: I'm a graduate student in Applied Math, UPenn, and use Perl as my favorite scripting language.) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It has been far too long since the last Philly Perl Mongers meeting, and far too longerer since I attended one. I hope to remedy both of these matters soon. It would be great if we could do a meeting out in the 'burbs for a change, which is a lot easier for me these days with child care and bedtime and what have you. Which leads me to emphatically endorsing John's idea of meeting at Tired Hands in Ardmore, the Jewel of the Main Line, spitting distance from Lancaster Avenue, the Paoli Thorndale line, and the 104 bus. The food and beer are fantastic (really), they can seat huge parties, and they don't have a problem with lollygaggers. I'm deeply interested in static code analysis these days, and would be delighted to attend or give a talk on the topic sometime. - Kurt On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 10:39 AM John Kominetz wrote: > Nodding Head closed its Sansom Street location and is brewing at an > undisclosed location.
