After the last announcement on SPUG several Perl people asked me
to continue posting these announcements to the Perl list.
At our next meeting this Thursday you will get to try out XP in
real-life. If you've heard about it and are curious to experience
it, join us this Thursday. The coding will be fueled by pizza and
pop provided by the nice people at Lante, Inc. For more details

EXTREME PROGRAMMING MEETING
TOPIC
"Live Extreme Programming: The Extreme Club"
Much of XP is difficult to communicate in presentations, and can best be
communicated as a direct experience.
And so at this next meeting we will take the bull by the horns and actually
DO some eXtreme Programming. Think of this as the programmers' equivalent of
a Messiah sing-in.
The meeting format is inspired by the London eXtreme Tuesday Club
http://www.xpdeveloper.com/. Here is how it works. People show up with
laptops, ideas and fingers. And then work on them together. Since all the
programming is in pairs only half the people need to bring laptops.
As always the meeting will be fueled by pizza and pop from the nice people
at Lante, Inc.
There are some pictures on the London XTC web-site of programmers huddled
around laptops and giant mugs of beer. And it looks like fun. We'll do a
dry run this time.
The meeting format will be quite different from the normal. It should be
much more interactive, and I expect that it will be quite a bit more fun
than normal too. Instead of being one-to-many it will be a many-to-many
highly enjoyable interaction.
The idea for this came out of a conversation I had with Eric Herman
(ProductSight) and Marcus Richardson (Network Commerce) after the last
meeting.

as you get off the ramp onto Coal Creek Parkway.

* Drive past the turn for SE 32nd St.
* 3180 will be the first building on your RIGHT.
* You will notice a parking entrance into the building on your RIGHT.
* Drive into it and then drive up the parking garage to the top
(the 4th floor) which has uncovered parking.
* Park anywhere (parking is free).
* The building entrance should be straight ahead and there will be
