From Daniel at Sherer.org Mon Aug 7 08:46:02 2006 From: Daniel at Sherer.org (Daniel Sherer) Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2006 08:46:02 -0700 Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] Perl Monger's Meeting this Wednesday Message-ID: <2817a58f0608070846r4e3df7a7neeb5009fcbc1b737@mail.gmail.com> Hey Everybody, Sorry I didn't send out my usual reminder a week in advance. However, this Wednesday is the second one of the month, time for our regular monthly meeting. Some of you may have heard rumours that we were going to have Randal Schwartz (noted Perl author) out as our guest speaker. That was, briefly, the plan. But some complications arose and as of this morning, it looks like it will NOT happen. We'll continue to seek out prominent members of the Perl community to attend our meetings and hopefully be able to work out the details to get Randal at some point in the future. That said, we'll need one or two members to make presentations. We had a guest speaker last month, so if any of you have been saving up to make a presentation, now is the time. Any takers? I look forward to seeing you Wednesday! Daniel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm not sure I know what you mean - maybe it's something from several months ago that I forgot - could you tell me what it was? :) Sorry if I contributed to a misunderstanding of some kind. I don't think I can make it tonight anyway, but I am curious - I would like to do one again, one of these months. - Paul From Daniel at Sherer.org Thu Aug 10 10:41:08 2006 From: Daniel at Sherer.org (Daniel Sherer) Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2006 10:41:08 -0700 Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] Last Night's meeting and next month's agenda Message-ID: <2817a58f0608101041x344d3c6fh1b66346238841c97@mail.gmail.com> Hey, good meeting last night! Topics covered included were: Sources, Types and availability of Perl training Perl project to control electronics (via home-brewed parallel port device) What our companies (and we ourselves) want from Perl Mongers How we, as a group, will keep the website updated (hint, it's a wiki, so eveybody can pitch in) For next month, we identified two things we'd like to do to make the meetings more useful and increase participation. 1) Announce the presenter and topic(s) of the presentation(s) earlier to allow more time for planning (both for the presenter and members who might be interested in attending to hear it.) That means that we need one to three people to *volunteer NOW* to give a 15min - 30min talk on any Perl related topic. 2) It was proposed that we dedicate the first 30-minutes or so to a free, beginning Perl training session. All of our currently attending members have mastered the basics, but if we want to grow the Perl community, offering some free training and giving people a forum to find more, might be a very good thing. So, I'm volunteering. I don't know how many people would be interested, but please pass this invitation along to anyone you know who might like to get started learning Perl. I'll try to limit it to about 8 people and I'll have a presentation as well as handouts and materials for them. Please have anyone interested RSVP to me, directly, at Daniel (at) Sherer (dot) org. Thanks to all who attended and please consider coming forward to present or if you know anyone who might like some free training.

I think I could do a pretty good job presenting this at our mongers, so I'd like to offer to do this at our next meeting on the 13th. I'll follow up with a teaser of what points I'll be hitting closer to the date. That's one slot filled. Anyone else want to present anything? Aran
