From naterajj at gmail.com Tue Jan 6 16:10:25 2015 From: naterajj at gmail.com (Juan J. Natera) Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 16:10:25 -0800 Subject: [San-Diego-pm] Open Call for sponsors - Perl @ SCALE 13x Message-ID: Hello, Time is very valuable, and year after year, several folks have volunteered their time and good will to help promote Perl @ SCALE. In the years past, I have provided t-shirts to volunteers as a token of appreciation for donating their time in such a way. This year, I am requesting the help of the companies using Perl to provide those t-shirts and maybe a bit more. In exchange for your $100 donation, we will: 1) Include your company's logo in the back of the t-shirt as an sponsor. (I need high resolution monochromatic image AND an email authorizing me to use said logo for this *specific* purpose). Historically the cost of these t-shirts has been just short of $200 (including shipping), adding the sponsors logos will raise the cost a little bit. 2) We can have flyers advertising any open Perl Development positions your company might have. 3) Any money left over will be used to purchase, and give away Learning Perl or Modern Perl books to any SCALE attendees with a valid Student ID (while supplies last). Ideally, *all* companies using Perl in SoCal will step up. If your company is interested, or if you have any questions, please send me an email to naterajj at gmail.com This open call will close Monday, Jan 12th at 11:59PM.

If you've attended a previous SCALE you already know what a worthwhile weekend it will be; if you haven't, check out this podcast from long-time Perl Monger Randal Schwartz for SCaLE 12x: http://twit.tv/show/floss-weekly/279 As in the past, the So Cal Perl Mongers (Los Angeles, Orange County, Thousand Oaks, and San Diego) will be hosting a booth at the expo. If you can spare some time (4-5 hours) to represent Perl Mongers at the booth, please send a note to me ( mcduffee at gmail.com) to let me know. You don't have to be a Perl expert to volunteer, just be willing to talk about Perl with conference attendees, plus help set up or tear down the booth if your shift requires it. What do you get for volunteering? * A full conference pass at no cost! * A coveted "Exhibitor" badge! * An even more coveted Perl @ SCaLE t-shirt! * The chance to meet and chat with fellow Perl enthusiasts! Check out some of the talks you'll be eligible to attend at http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/13x/presentations, but remember that much of the value of SCaLE comes from the "conference in the halls" -- the chance to get to know other members of the community in a more relaxed informal setting than a typical meetup permits. I hope to see you this year at SCaLE! Thanks! David McDuffee P.S. Thanks to Juan Natera for organizing the Perl booth at past SCaLE conventions, and for his continuing advice and support this year! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Perl Mongers, It's time for our monthly meeting this Thursday. We'll be meeting at the Ansir Innovation Center, on Convoy St. We'll start around 7 PM, and we will discuss any questions or ideas brought up, and we should have at least one presentation, possibly more. Also, please remember this note from the fine folks at the Ansir Innovation Center: Please park on either Convoy Street, Engineer Road, or Brinell Street as we have a small parking lot that we share with other businesses. Avoid parking in other shopping centers as you may get towed. Look for the green door marked Suite 210. I'll look forward to seeing you all there! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
