Hi all,

It's that time again! We'll be meeting at the Platform Tavern on Wednesday
for more discussion of Perl.

Lately I've been working on looking after my super-cute daughter. :) But I
also went to OpenTech in London, and saw some quite interesting things...

Hope to see you all there!

Looks like I won't be up that way again :(
Maybe next time.

Ah now there's a task for a dedicated programmer :) My experience so far
seems to have matched many other programming projects: early development
went well but as complexity has grown, insidious bugs have crept in leading
to unexpected and undesirable behaviour. The somewhat laissez-faire
approach of the outsourced developers that we got involved in more recent
stages has made things worse in many respects. We haven't reached the
release deadline yet so there's still hope but we are adjusting
expectations to be on the safe-side.

Hope to see you all there!

I'll be there.

Before the last one I posted some stuff in our Google Community about going
into Portsmouth University to talk to their computer club. Nobody replied.
Shall I forget about it?

I think if we are going to have a meeting at a university, we need to
be clear as to the reasons, and what we are looking to achieve.

I do like the argument around drumming up more graduate applicants for
Perl jobs, but I don't think any students are likely to commute to our
meetings from Portsmouth once a month, so I think it will be hard for
us to offer support to any interested students.  If it were
Southampton University, it might be different, but I know you had
trouble getting in touch with anyone there.

As I recall, student societies tend to go quiet in the summer ('cos
it's either exam time or holidays).  September/October might be the
best time to go into a university, when all the gullible freshers are
still keen.  But we would need to make the student contacts ahead of
time to get this organized.

Hi Tim,

I didn't try Southampton University, you were going to do that one. It took
me several attempts to get in contact with Portsmouth University because the
IT people wouldn't return my calls or answer my emails. I eventually
succeeded when I went in via the careers department and they got Dr Scott to
contact me.

The proposal has always been to go there in the autumn. That's what Dr Scott
suggested and that's what I put in the post. What we need to do now is to
decide whether we really want to do something and what it should be.

Dr Scott's email offers says they would like to hear about "any gaps in our
curriculum" and offers the opportunity to "present to one of our staff
meetings to set out your concerns". I don't have the skills to do that. I
can't start telling a university where they are going wrong. I'd look a
fool.

That's why I suggested doing something more informal. Just get somebody to
stump up some sponsorship for beer and sandwiches and go in and meet some of
the students. Find out the lie of the land, perhaps not even do a
presentation the first time. Just take in a couple of laptops in case
somebody wants to demonstrate something.

I don't think supporting any students will be a problem. That can be done
over the internet.

The objective will be to drum up interest in Perl or to establish that it
can't be done.

I would like to telephone Dr Scott in the next few weeks with some feedback.
I can't do that at the moment because I don't know who I represent. I told
him I represented a group of a dozen Perl professionals called Southampton
PM. That might not be true, perhaps I just represent myself.

All the best.

Duncan

I won't got into the details here, but ask me about both Southampton and Portsmouth Uni on Wednesday - I might have a couple of very useful contacts.

Looks like I can't attend as it clashes with the missus "friends movie
night" and I have to take care of the child. :-(

Tim- friendly note about my GPG key signage.

Duncan - I know folks at both Universities, if you need any specific
contacts in specific departments then let me know.

Have fun!

I'd live to know how many perlmongers turn out to this. I'm
usually the only perlmonger in the village.

Subject: [Southampton-pm] Jobs + free beer
Message-ID: <CADc0ge9XdopEg8V=uTFqnavK3sN1rrZQ2YXfkgjJ_jOWV=g+HQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Apparently London.pm has a rule that you can email jobs to the mailing list
if you are actually a member, but jobs from recruiters are not so welcome.
This sounds like a good rule to me.

With that in mind, CV-Library has several Perl developer roles it wants to
fill - and hiring is really difficult, especially at senior/intermediate
level.

First, we are based right next to the station in Fleet, which makes it
commutable from Southampton in ~60 minutes by train.

We have a fairly large Perl codebase which we are cleaning up and adding
features to. We are not afraid of CPAN modules, and use a fair amount of
Moose, for example. Other cool technologies include Solr (for searching). I
promise it's interesting!

Sysadmin and Design are separate roles, which lets the development team
focus on coding. We follow a reasonably traditional Scrum process.

Plus you get to work with me. :)

At the last Soton.pm meeting CV-Library generously paid for a round of
drinks, and beer is cheap compared to recruiter fees. So they'll probably
do that again for the next meeting. If you want to know more about the
roles, come and talk to me! (Or email.)

Also, if you know anyone else who would be suitable... well, why aren't
they subscribed to this list already? Tell them about the free beer.
