Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] Randal Schwartz Wednesday, 7pm,
	@ Thousand Oaks Perl Mongers
Message-ID: <24bb5cf91001121505l305fe374k7ef71e96c09656c@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that Randal Schwartz [1] will be presenting Git at
the Thousand Oaks Perl Mongers tomorrow (Wednesday) night at 7pm.  If you
are in the LA area I recommend you make the trek up to Thousand Oaks this
time as Randal is a well known speaker with a lot wisdom and advice to
share.  I'll pick up some snacks (pizza, sandwiches...) and drinks for
everyone to partake in.  Please see below [2] for more directions and other
information about this event.

Here's Randal's blurb on this presentation:

   Introduction to the Git distributed version control system

   When you have hundreds of people simultaneously patching 25000 files of
   the Linux Kernel in sometimes conflicting ways, you might need some
scheme
   or plan to sort all that out before you can build your next kernel and
   reboot.  The Linux team uses "git" for their source code repository
   management, a homegrown solution that is optimized for highly distributed
   development, working with huge sets of files, merging independent work at
   multiple levels, and seeing who broke what. (Git has also since been
   notably adopted by the Android, Freedesktop.org, OLPC, Wine, GCC, jQuery,
   Maemo, Prototype, Samba, VLC, and of course many of the Perl projects
   including the Perl core.)  In my talk, I describe what "git" is and
isn't,
   and why you should use it instead of CVS, Subversion, SVK, Arch, Darcs,
   Mercurial, Monotone, Bazaar, and just about every other repository
   manager.  I'll also walk though the basic concepts so that the manpages
   might start making sense. If I have time, I'll even do a live
walkthrough,
   where you can watch how fast I make typos.

See you all tomorrow night!

Aran

Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] looking for work
Message-ID: <86r5psayzs.fsf@blue.stonehenge.com>


I had a great gig for 9 months working for some really cool people,
and I just found out I'm in the final month of my involvement of
the project.

I'm looking for contract work, either project-based, short or long term,
preferably telecommute although I'll be onsite as often as my travel costs are
paid for.

Obviously, Perl work would be the best match, but I can also do net-admin,
sysadmin, techwriting, or Smalltalk.

Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] [job] Perl developer,
	Santa Monica startup (CampusExplorer.com)
Message-ID: <4B57B089.5040002@perl.org>

This is the kind of company I'd like to work for and they're looking for
a Perl developer in Santa Monica:

  http://jobs.perl.org/job/11600

Oh wait, I *am* working there and I love it!  (Let us know if you're
interested in talking about the company and job opening.)

We just moved into new offices and have space that might be suitable for
a Perl Mongers gathering.  We're not far from Rubicon which is where
LA.pm has been held lately, but perhaps a change of scenery some month?

I could present ways to control Amazon AWS/EC2 resources using Perl
packages on the CPAN.
