Salt Lake Perl Mongers June meeting. When: Tuesday, June 11th at 7:00pm (that's tomorrow). Where: Bluehost: 12159 South Bus Park Drive, Suite 160, Draper, UT 84020 What: Talks by Doran Barton (DBIx::Class), and Dave Oswald (Intro to Perl's functional functions: map, grep, etc.). Who: YOU! And if you can, bring someone; a Perl hacker, a newbie, anyone interested. See http://saltlake.pm.org for directions and additional details. Dave -- David Oswald daoswald at gmail.com From daoswald at gmail.com Tue Jun 11 21:55:52 2013 From: daoswald at gmail.com (David Oswald) Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2013 22:55:52 -0600 Subject: [Saltlake-pm] Thanks for coming! Message-ID: I just wanted to thank all those who took the time out of your summer schedules to come to Salt Lake Perl Mongers June meeting. Doran gave a great presentation on DBIx::Class, and I discussed some of Perl's better known functional functions (eg, map, grep, sort). Matt Monson also discussed his visions for the local Perl community, and what we can do to give back to the greater Perl community. I'm sure there's a lot more to come on that subject. We're looking forward to our next meeting July 9th at 7:00pm, hosted again at Bluehost's Draper office. We sort of left unresolved who would talk about what at our next meeting -- those details will be arranged here on the mailing list. If you would like to present anything Perl related (it can even be "Perl community" related rather than "Perl programming"), just let me know and we'll arrange it. Once Doran provides us with links to the video from tonight's meeting I'll add a "past meetings" page to our website, and will list the links there. Thanks again, and we hope to see as many of you as possible in July. Bring a friend!

Where available, I'll include links to slides and video for past presentations. If anyone wants their name to link somewhere, just let me know. You may have to reload or refresh your browser cache; I know I did. Matt Monsen: If you're reading this... You had a lot of ideas and enthusiasm for working on a community effort. If you would like me to put up a "community" page, or something similar, go ahead and fork the Salt Lake Perl Mongers website's Github repo, and then just send me a pull request. Refer to https://github.com/daoswald/saltlakepm for the Salt Lake Perl Mongers website's Github repository. As you probably recognized, we're using Twitter Bootstrap, and the general layout comes from: http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/examples/marketing-narrow.html ...though you could probably just grab one of our existing pages and use that as a template. The website is hosted by The Perl Foundation. They don't allow any server-side dynamic content, unfortunately (how un-Perlish!). The website is administered through WebDAV, which really feels like 1995 all over again. I use cadaver to log in to the TPF server with a subversion account. Since TPF makes it so collaboration-unfriendly, it's probably easiest to just fork the Github repo and give me a pull request if you want something uploaded to the site.

This is one of those "Don't miss!" events. Damian is one of the most interesting and most sought-after speakers on the Perl circuit, and he's offering. Here's what we need: 1) A venue. Our usual home at Bluehost in Draper won't be big enough for the turn-out I anticipate. 2) A ride for Mr Conway from his hotel in Orem to wherever we meet. 3) Publicity! This is an opportunity to learn from Damian. But it's also an opportunity to show the global Perl Community what the local Salt Lake Perl Community is made of. A big turnout will reflect well on us, and could influence (for the better) our ability to bring other Perl-related events to Utah. 4) ...the other details; projector, wifi, video recording... do we want a couple big coolers of carbonated beverages? A couple of suggestions I've received for a venue are SLCC's Miller Center, or Thanksgiving Point. I don't know if either of those would involve a financial commitment from SL-PM. I know that we could reserve a fairly large conference room in the Sandy Public Library, but while that's a nice library, its conference room is kind of dingy. If anyone has suggestions please offer them here. Also we need to decide; should this take the place of our August meeting, or of our July meeting? Invite friends regardless of their programming language of choice; Damian is a really interesting speaker -- Perl just happens to be his playground.

That's definitely an option. I'd prefer to find someplace further north as to not alienate our Salt Lake County (and north) members. -- Doran L. Barton - Linux, Perl, Web, good fun, and more!

Webcast : Perly Linked Lists: What they look like, and why bother To: daoswald at gmail.com HI David Wanted to pass this along. Can you share with your mailing list? Perly Linked Lists: What they look like, and why bother Presented by: Steven Lembark Wednesday, June 19, 2013 1PM PT, San Francisco 9pm - London | 4pm - New York | Thu, Jun 20th at 6am - Sydney | Thu, Jun 20th at 5am - Tokyo | Thu, Jun 20th at 4am - Beijing | Thu, Jun 20th at 1:30am - Mumbai Duration: Approximately 60 minutes. Cost: Free Linked lists are still useful even in the world of auto-extending arrays: for effective memory management and simpler threading. The first part of this webcast talk describes how to implement generic linked-list containers using Perl syntax; the second portion shows an efficient Object-oriented list manager that avoids the most common pitfalls of OO linked lists.

Here are two talk proposals that Damian is offering. I'm on the fence as to which would be better for us: http://damian.conway.org/Seminars/Twilight.html http://damian.conway.org/Seminars/Quaquaversal.html I know that Utah Open Source will be promoting this as well (they're helping us out with a venue), so it's possible that we'll get a number of non-Perl people. For that reason, I am sort of favoring the "Quaquaversal" talk unless there are any objections. This is a tremendous opportunity to promote the Perl Community in Utah. While the presentation will probably take place in Utah County (per Damian's request -- he prefers to minimize his travel time), it's certainly worth the drive, even for people who rarely venture south of the Point. I would like to find a way to promote this to as many programming-related groups as possible be they ".edu", ".com", or ".org". If any of us have contacts within the local institutions of higher learning, within tech companies, or within other programming organizations (or Meetups, for example), please let me know so we can coordinate getting the word out.
