From jacoby.david at gmail.com Tue Apr 4 10:08:24 2017 From: jacoby.david at gmail.com (Dave Jacoby) Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 13:08:24 -0400 Subject: [Purdue-pm] Saturday HackLafayette Event: Time Management for Grumpy Programmers Message-ID: Chris Hartjes, co-host of the /dev/hell podcast and author of Minimum Viable Tests, will be in town Saturday, giving his presentation "Time Management for Grumpy Programmers", "I don't have enough time" is a cry that echoes across social media and online chat rooms. Work deadlines, family obligations, hobbies that don't involve computers -- they all are taking out chunks of the time we have available to us. But there is one immutable fact --we all have the same amount of time available, some of us just find different ways to use it. In this session learn how long-time grumpy programmer Chris Hartjes organizes and makes decisions about how to spend his time. Business owner, involved work-from-home parent, conference speaker, podcaster, collectable card game enthusiast - Chris does this all and more without feeling super-stressed about it. Was he born with this super power? Not at all. The talk will cover how Chris plans his life, his preferred tools, and strategies for figuring out what to do and when to do it. It is possible to get a lot done and not become a workaholic in the process. Sit back, relax, and let a grumpy programmer show you how to maximize your time. Saturday, April 8, at 3:30pm in MatchBOX Coworking Studio. I'm told by HackLafayette organizer Ed Finkler that "(w)e will have food of some kind for free." Please RSVP so we know how much to order. https://www.meetup.com/hacklafayette/events/238629010/ And, I promise I will watch the door in case you show up late. Email me or message the Meetup group if you need the door opened. -- Dave Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com Computers let us make bad decisions at lightning speed and global scale. -- Brian Wisti -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Best I have is that the speaker, Chris Hartjes, was on his way to Lafayette when the alternator on his vehicle died. He does intend to visit Lafayette and reschedule the talk. If you are part of the HackLafayette Meetup, you will have received the cancellation notice, but if you are not, you probably were hanging outside the door at MB and wondering what's up. Ken contacted me on Twitter, but nobody else did. As it was a general HL event and not Monger-specific, I decided to let the organizers handle the announcement. If you feel like you got left out in for this event, feel free to yell at me this Wednesday. -- Dave Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com Computers let us make bad decisions at lightning speed and global scale. -- Brian Wisti -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The title is "To Serve Humans", and the topic is the ethical responsibilities that programmers have in our increasingly-automated world. This talk has already been accepted for m{(YAPC::NA|TPC)} and is part of the spring HackLafayette Thunder Talks. It's general-interest and not specifically Perl-related, so programmers from all language communities are invited and should find value in it. But... Joe Kline is not feeling well. Joe Kline is also the person with the key to the room. So, without a healthy Joe Kline, we're stuck in the hallway, doing Starship Mongers off my laptop. If we don't have signs of a healthy Joe before Wednesday morning, I'll send an email saying we've scratched and cancel the event on Meetup. The HackLafayette Food & Chat at Lafayette Brewing Co. will proceed as planned. Please RSVP so we know how many seats to grab. https://www.meetup.com/hacklafayette/events/238695744/ -- Dave Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com Computers let us make bad decisions at lightning speed and global scale. -- Brian Wisti -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: This is a reminder that our monthly meeting is today, 5:30-7pm in EE317. The dehydrated husk of Joe Kline will be presenting "To Serve Humans", talking about the ethical responsibilities programmers have in our increasingly-automated society. This is not a technical talk and not Perl-specific, so feel free to invite people from other technical silos. I expect interesting conversation to arise from this. Following Perl Mongers, we will go to Lafayette Brewing Company in beautiful downtown Lafayette for HackLafayette Open Source Food & Chat. Please RSVP at hacklafayette.com so we know how many seats to reserve. -- Dave Jacoby jacoby.david at gmail.com Computers let us make bad decisions at lightning speed and global scale. -- Brian Wisti -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm registered, and I believe that Joe's talk has been accepted. I know that, while we monger, we're not the most Perly monger groups, but I thought I'd pass this on. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James E Keenan via yapc Date: Thu, Apr 13, 2017 at 11:49 AM Subject: The Perl Conference 2017 (f.k.a. YAPC-NA) To: YAPC Perl friends, The Perl Conference 2017 -- the conference formerly known as Yet Another Perl Conference::North America (YAPC::NA) -- is little more than two months away. The main conference days will be Mon-Wed, June 19-20. Pre-conference activities begin on Sun June 18 and post-conference activities take place through Sat June 23. The conference will be held in the Washington DC metropolitan area -- specifically, at US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in Alexandria, VA. There hasn't been as much promotion for this year's event as there has been in previous years, so I'm taking the liberty of kicking off discussion on this list, the long-time unofficial attendees' mailing list. The main conference web page is here: http://www.perlconference.us/tpc-2017-dc/ The conference wiki is here: https://github.com/dcbpw/tpc-2017-dc/wiki Could I ask the following: * All readers: ** Start talking this conference up in your local Perlmonger and other tech user groups. Let your friends and colleagues know about YAPC, and have them sign up for this mailing list at: http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/yapc ** Start making your hotel and travel plans now. * Conference organizers: ** Could you start promoting, e.g., on blogs.perl.org, ironman.enlightenedperl.org, Perl Weekly, etc. ** Introduce yourselves! (I myself can name only one of the organizers.) ** Could you arrange for a redirect link to be set up so that http://www.yapcna.org/yn2017 redirects to the main conference web page. ** Acceptances for presentations have started to be sent out, but we still need a schedule. I'm looking forward to this conference not only because I've attended YAPC::NA steadily, but because I've also attended most editions of the DC/Baltimore Perl Workshop -- and I suspect that past organizers of that workshop will be big contributors to this year's TPC. I look forward to hanging out with many friends from both events. Thank you very much.
