Hi,

 

Southampton PM (http://southampton.pm.org/) meet at the Platform Tavern
(http://www.platformtavern.com/) at 8pm on the first Wednesday of every
month. That means Wednesday is a meet night.

 

It's about a year since the group was revived. There have normally been
between six and ten of us. The pub does good bar food so some of the group
eat, the rest just enjoy a couple of beers. We chat about Perl and related
topics for a couple of hours and the meeting normally breaks up around 10pm.
I've always got something useful out of the meetings.

 

New members are always welcome.

 

All the best.

 

Duncan

+1 to that Duncan.

Sadly something had some up and I'll probably be a no-show tonight.

Can someone take note of what was discussed and post a usual follow-up?

I randomly nominate Anton and he's normally the first and last to leave :-)

Cheers!

Jobsite haven't got me up there this week so I'm afraid I won't make it.

Sorry you couldn't make it, Merlyn.

Still, we had one new member, and a total of 7 in the end.

I don't have a list of the things we talked about, although I do remember:

- modulinos (in the context of unit-testing CGI scripts)
- editor wars (or, is there a good IDE for Perl)
- why is there no Perl certification/qualification?
- DBIx::Class::Schema::Config and DBIx::Class::Schema::Versioned
- unit testing the above with Test::mysqld

Thanks Tim, also welcome to new member Thomas.

We also discussed group sponsorship. Maybe one other thing it would
allow us to do is hire a venue to hold talks/presentations? Such a
thing might attract new members.

Hi all, sorry I am not coming lately, busy days..

Anyway, interesting subject you are talking about, I know this is just a
community, but you might be interested to mentor students under Perl in
GSOC ( Google Summer of Code ). Mentor gets 500$, which is symbolic but a
lot of fun, and can push some stuff into life which annoys you in perl or
some missing feature...

Hi,

 

Perl was accepted for the GSOC in 2011 but rejected in 2012. I think they
plan to apply in 2013.

 

There has been some talk of "going it alone". There weren't any applications
for TPF grants in either of the last two quarters, so they have been looking
for new ideas. One suggestion was to use the TPF grants to sponsor GSOC-type
Perl projects for students.

 

I don't know how far they got with the idea.

 

Regards

 

Duncan

Dear All,

A couple of weeks ago we launched the Perl Academy,

Where I went along with Brad Haywood into London Met Uni and spoke about Recruitment into Perl and then Brad did a technical talk.
We were delighted to have 30 attendees to this and even more excited when 18 people showed interest in  attending a Workshop we are putting on which Dave Cross will teach on, which
Is taking place on Saturday April 20th

What I need from the Community is a couple of remote mentors who are either happy to speak on the phone with these students or via email.

The long term aim is to get the students into either internships or perm grad placements - hopefully then we will have the next generation of Perl developers

If anyone can help please get in touch 0208 944 4187 / rick at eligo.co.uk<mailto:rick at eligo.co.uk>


P.s - I said at the London Perl Workshop that as a recruiter I would write some code, although it was just "hello world" I did write some code - And intend to continue with it !! Someone has very kindly agreed to teach me.

Hi all,

Wednesday 3rd April is our next meeting, at 8pm at the Platform Tavern.
 Some of us are usually there from about 7pm for food.

My presence is contingent on not being at the Princess Anne - Kate will be
39 weeks pregnant on Wednesday. If I am there, I will be signing GPG keys,
FYI.

This month I have mostly been learning about parsing with Parse::Yapp.

See you there!
