From jacoby.david at gmail.com Fri Sep 2 08:27:55 2016 From: jacoby.david at gmail.com (Dave Jacoby) Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2016 11:27:55 -0400 Subject: [Purdue-pm] Trying Again - coming meetings, site change and more Message-ID: I had called this "$site->url, $meetings_16->next, $meetings_16->last and more!" and I think the server blocked it. Sorry if this is a repeat. Having decided that having our meetings in MatchBox is ... let's say **problematic** when none of our regular members are MatchBox members, we've gone back to campus. Our next meeting will be September 14th at 5:30 in EE317, and will be on MAIL! Not SENDING mail this time, but handing the deluge that you receive and notifying about the messages YOU care about. We have the same room through December, and because December gets to be a crowded time in our schedules, we've decided on the return of "Starship Mongers"! That's a Lightning-Talk format with one rule: "Everyone Talks. Nobody Quits." It doesn't have to be Perl. It doesn't have to be computing. Ben Cotton of Hack Lafayette said something "you could do this, but you shouldn't". We have months to think of it, and more free-form is always good, too. (At this point, when I say "we", that's Dave Jacoby and Joe Kline. If you want to join "us" and be part of the organizing cabal, we do our planning on IRC. irc://irc.freenode.net/#glossy) (Did I get that right?) And in a final "we" statement, we've moved the website from http://purdue.pm.org to http://purdue.pl. We also keep a calendar on Google+ and meetup.com/hacklafayette. Hack Lafayette is a re-badged GLOSSY. Ed Finkler decided that explaining GLOSSY is too much of a hindrance, that Hack Lafayette makes it clearer what the group is. Nothing else is changed: There's still Open Source Food & Beer & Chat at Lafayette Brewing Company. There's still Open Source Coffee & Chat at Fuel. There's still Thunder Talks. Speaking of which: Thunder Talks is October 1 at MatchBox, from 2-4pm. Two talks have been set: Ed Finkler on Graph Databases and our own Ken Schweickert on OpenCV. So, that's everything scheduled. This leaves two things to talk about: October and November. We have two scheduled meetings without content. Any suggestions on a topic would be greatly appreciated. Volunteers for presenting would be appreciated further. -- David Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is just a reminder that tomorrow is Perl Mongers. We'll be back on campus, meeting in EE317 at 5:30pm, where I will be talking about using Mail::IMAPClient to handle your mail. This will be followed at 7pm by HackLafayette (*) Open Source Food & Beer & Chat at Lafayette Brewing Company. Be warned; they're starting to tear up and rebuild the sidewalks in front of LBC on Main Street, so plan on parking a little bit further away. If talking about programming and computing one night this week is not sufficient for your needs, Conlin Durbin is starting Beer.js/lala, where we talk about Javascript. Next meeting is pencilled in for Friday, but the where and when have not yet been made known to me. https://github.com/beerjs/lala (Beer is not a required aspect of either beerJS or Open Source Food & Beer & Chat) Coming later in the month is Open Source Coffee and Chat. I believe it's 2-4pm Sept 25th at Fuel, but check the Meetup. And then, October 1 will be Thunder Talks at MatchBox. Talks include Neo4J, Xamarin and our own Ken on OpenCV. * HackLafayette is the entity that used to be called Greater Lafayette Open Source Symposium. The name and branding have changed, but people and purpose remain the same. -- David Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
