Good meeting last night!

Arun,  Thanks for the overview of Perl 5.10.   Cool new
features/enhancements.  (I went home and compiled it for my system.  So,
I'm ready to start playing with it!)

I also wanted to re-iterate that we have a discount coming if we want to
attend the So Cal Linux Expo.  It's Feb 8-10, which is Friday thru Sunday.
Discount info below.


Thanks for coming out everybody.  See you in February.  Either at the
meeting or maybe at the convention!

Fellow Perl Mongers,

We have a couple of news to share with you.

First, as expected, we were approved as an exhibitor for SCALE 6x [1],
we will have few demos at our booth including:

Misterhouse[2], a home automation system written in Perl.
A simple application showing parrot interfacing with the SDL libraries.

Second is that, if you want to attend, it will cost you %50 less, all
you have to do to get the discount is to enter the promotional code
"PMONG" (without quotes) during registration. So take advantage of
this hefty discount and come say hi to us at the Perl Mongers booth
and enjoy a weekend of great technical presentations!

[1] SCALE is the Southern California Linux Expo

Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] Rakudo
Message-ID: <24CF2B9B9D2BCC4B8F6EA9528B63C8360976DA0B@LA-EXCLUST01.corp.valueclick.com>

Several people expressed sentiment at the last perl mongers that Perl 6
is so different from Perl 5 that it shouldn't be called Perl 6, but
something else.  I myself am on the fence about this issue.

I'm not sure how for this will go, but it looks like they are naming the
implementation of Perl 6, on Parrot, as "Rakudo".  There is a posting
about this on perlbuzz.com as well as a new rakudo.org blog.

I'm waiting for the name "Rakudo" to grow on me, but so far it hasn't.
:)
Maybe if I say it like rahCK-ud-OOEE, kinda like how they say Muadib in
Dune when they shoot their Weirding Modules, I'll enjoy the new name
more.
