Subject: [Santa-rosa-pm] ruby talk at socosa 6th March in sebastopol
Message-ID: <Pine.BSO.4.53.0703041500080.29168@darkstar.alembic.com>

interest was expressed at the last meeting on the upcoming ruby talk.
here are the details.    Rob has attended the perl meetings in the past
(until getting too busy writing the book) and has mentioned that he'll
be visiting the perl group again.   and despite the proclamation in the
WHO: line of the announcement i doubt that Mr. Orsini claims to be the
author of Ruby on Rails ;-).

Subject: [SoCoSA/notify] Meeting Tue, 3/6: Ruby on Rails

Hello,

Social/pizza hour starts at 6pm and the speaker starts at 7pm.  Show up by
6:10pm if you want to get in on a pizza order.

   WHAT: Ruby on Rails
   WHEN: Tuesday, February 6th; 7pm (6pm for pizza/food/chatting)
  WHERE: O'Reilly in Sebastopol; 1005 Gravenstein Hwy. N; behind rightmost
         building
    WHO: Rob Orsini; author of Ruby on Rails
   MORE: http://socosa.org/node/200

Rob will give a 1 hour overview of Rails including server setup, admin
issues and templating.

What is Ruby on Rails? "Rails is a full-stack framework for developing
database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control
pattern." What that means, basically, is that it lets programmers write
applications without needing to worry too much about the boring details.
Alternately: it's a a new, very popular way to create dynamic websites
quickly and easily.  Even if you're not a programmer you'll likely
eventually want to deploy a Rails application, and maybe even customize it a
little for your site's needs.

Who's Rob Orsini? In addition to being the author of O'Reilly's recently
released Rails Cookbook, Rob is an open source developer living in northern
California. He's currently working for O'Reilly Media, in their production
software group. Previously, Rob was the webmaster at Industrial Light &
Magic, where he developed applications in support of the special effects
industry. Rob has been programming the web since 1998, and upon discovering
Rails, hopes to continue for many more years to come.

Location:
   O'Reilly Media Inc.; Tarsier meeting room; go between buildings on right
                        (towards lawn) and turn right
   1005 Gravenstein Hwy North
   Sebastopol, CA  95472

and despite the proclamation in the WHEN: line of the

per the Subject: line rather than February 6th as per
the possibility of month old pizza :)

Subject: [Santa-rosa-pm] [pm_groups] Fwd: Perl 6 Microgrants. Now accepting
	proposals. (fwd)

From: Jesse Vincent <jesse at bestpractical.com>
Subject: Perl 6 Microgrants. Now accepting proposals.
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 23:04:29 -0400
To: perl6-internals at perl.org, perl6-language at perl.org,
	perl6-compiler at perl.org, perl5-porters at perl.org

I'm pleased to announce the inaugural Perl 6 Microgrants program.
Best Practical Solutions (my company) has donated USD5,000 to The
Perl Foundation to help support Perl 6 Development.  Leon Brocard,
representing The Perl Foundation's grants committee, will work with
me to select proposals and evaluate project success.  We'll be making
USD500 grants to worthy Perl 6 related efforts. We're hoping to fund
a range of Perl 6-related projects over the life of the grant
program.  Accepted grants might be for coding, documentation, testing
or even writing articles about Perl 6. The program isn't tied to any
one implementation of Perl 6 -- We're interested in seeing proposals
related to Pugs, Perl 6 on Parrot, Perl 6 on Perl 5 or any other Perl
6 implementation.  Generally, we're interested in seeing projects
that can be completed in 4-6 calendar weeks.

Submitting a grant proposal
---------------------------

To submit a grant proposal, please email us at perl6-
microgrants at perl.org with the following information:

* A two to three paragraph summary of the work you intend to do
* A quick bio - Who are you? Is there opensource work you've done
that we should have a look at?
* A brief description of what "success" will mean for your project -
How will we know you're done?
* Where (if anywhere) you've discussed your project in the past
* Where you'll be blogging about your progress. (Twice-weekly blog
posts are a requirement for getting your grant money)

We'll be accepting proposals on a rolling schedule. We expect to pay
out these first 10 grants over the course of the summer. Depending on
how things go, we'll then either find more money for more grant
programs or we'll wind up the program and move on to other endeavors.

We're really excited to get rolling. Submit your proposals early and
often. Don't let somebody else beat you to the punch ;)

Best,

Jesse
