[tpm] Thursday's meeting & future topics

[arocker at vex.net]

We discussed Ilia's suggestion about a Perl job fair inspired by the Ruby
one,  http://rubyjobfair.ca/ and decided to see what results it produces
before doing anything.

We also discussed topics and plans for future meetings.

Possible topics were:

"Cloud computing" and Perl
Perl Best Practices (discussions based on Damian's book)
Parrot
Perl 6
Catalyst http://www.catalystframework.org/
IDEs for Perl programmers
VmWare
Madison's "Intermittent" (or "Intermediate") talks

A tentative schedule was:

 June      No topic (no meeting?)
*July      YAPC debriefing
 August    VMWare and how to install it
*September Lightning talks (Start writing them now)
 October   Parrot & Rakudo
 November  Perl Best Practices
*December  Social

The 3 marked with an * are reasonably fixed, the others are flexible.

Anybody who feels passionately about any of the subjects, would like to
present, (on the suggested or any other topics), or have any other
suggestions, please chime in. If you have something you would like
presented, but really don't want to speak, write the presentation and ask
one of the usual suspects to deliver it for you.
