[Phoenix-pm] [andy at petdance.com: [pm_groups] Hackathon Chicago]

[Brock]

Our dear friend Andy Lester is putting together a Hackathon in Chicago.
Sounds fun!

I wanted to have our meeting at the Phoenix Library, but they are
re-carpeting their lower floor (during the entire month of september).
It would be a great place for when Andy comes and presents though, I
think.

I'll try and get us a meeting location within the next few days so that
you all have plenty of heads-up.

Howdy to all Perl Mongers.  I've just announced the Chicago  
Hackathon.  If y'all would be so kind as to forward to your groups,  
I'd appreciate it.  I've gotten the word out to groups I'm aware of  
that are local to Chicago, but I know there are plenty of others that  
might be interested.

I'm trying to spin this as a grass-roots PM-type of get-together.   
Low-key, local, but very valuable.  I'd love to have as many other PM  
groups represented as possible.  So far, we have folks from: Ann  
Arbor and Grand Rapids, Michigan; Toronto; LA; as well as Illinois  
and Wisconsin "locals".

Thanks!
xoxo,
Andy

The Chicago Perl Mongers and The Perl Foundation are proud to  
announce the Fall 2006 Chicago Hackathon, the weekend of November  
10-12, 2006 in suburban Crystal Lake, IL. It will be a round-the- 
clock weekend of programming on Perl-related projects with your  
colleagues in the open source community. Dozens of programmers from  
the open source community in the midwest, as well as others from  
around the US, will be getting together to share ideas, work on code,  
and move their Perl-related projects forward.

The participants set the agenda for what we'll be working on, but  
Perl 6 and Parrot are already on the roster of projects. Chip  
Salzenberg, pumpking for the Parrot project, will be on hand to help  
with Parrot and Perl 6. Andy Lester will also be driving some Parrot  
maintenance tasks, and other midwest programmers will be working on  
their own projects. There's sure to be something interesting for  
everyone!

Participation in the hackathon costs nothing. The Perl Foundation is  
even providing hotel rooms at a special rate if you want to spend the  
night. Even if you're in the area for just an hour, stop by, grab a  
snack or some pizza and talk with other people interested in Perl.  
You might contribute more than you think just by talking with other  
programmers.

To find out more, visit http://hackathon.info. If you'll be  
attending, please sign in on the Attendees wiki page, and/or email  
rsvp at hackathon.info. You can also send questions to Andy Lester at  
andy at hackathon.info
