I'm not sure how we would go about this? Maybe just look at similar workshops in other places and see what the turnout might be. Or, just pick a venue to get a capacity and use the "if we build it, they will come" approach. I would think that if we do a good job of getting the word out, people who are somewhat local could be convinced to come out for a day -- people who wouldn't otherwise come to a PerlMongers meeting. Those aren't the sort of people we'd be able to get a head count from at this point. > If not, I'll just go ahead and shoot the moon at a capacity of 100 geeks.

Are there any items we want to have researched by then so that we can discuss them? I would think, at the very least, we'll need to get some hard info about venues.

I've posted some possible conference dates on the Wiki. Those would go hand in hand with the venue. Our December social is quite early (the week following the November meeting), so that leaves quite a large gap between December and January meetings. So, I guess what I'm saying is that if there are issues which are best discussed in person, we should probably establish what those might be ASAP, so that we can cover them off in this calendar year. I would suggest creating issues on the Github tracker and then tagging them with your name (or Github username) if you want to take responsibility for any issue. If you want to create an issue without taking ownership, that's good too. I'm guessing that most venues are going to be booked well in advance, so if we're looking at an April date, we'll need to commit fairly soon.

You can set up a custom cache to your own liking. It's great for dealing with APIs as you can speed up the server response time considerably by avoiding the server completely when testing the same requests if you're using GET.

You most likely need to do some encoding of the input and/or output of your data from your perl program. There is an excellent document that explains all the ins and outs of handling utf8 in Perl here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Perl_Programming/Unicode_UTF-8 > I thought it was a terminal issue... and that was partially true.? I ran mc > on this particular terminal, and the curses UI was all garbled.? So I fixed > that be reconfiguring my locales, but perl is still outputing the noise > above. Well, if I run the following from my terminal I see the apostrophe correctly: perl -MEncode -le 'binmode STDOUT, ":encoding(utf8)"; print Encode::decode("utf8", "won\x{00e2}\x{0080}\x{0099}t easily play well")' That decodes the raw utf8 string into perl's internal utf8 format, and then converts it back to utf8 on output. If you run that and see garbled text then perhaps it is your terminal that is messed up. It could be set to a different character set (mine is set to handle utf8: LANG=en_AU.utf8 Cheers, Cees From mike at stok.ca Mon Nov 15 19:00:40 2010 From: mike at stok.ca (Mike Stok) Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 22:00:40 -0500 Subject: [tpm] Fwd: Google Code-In brings fresh blood to the Perl and Parrot communities References: Message-ID: <18831FCC-B32D-4950-B795-FE3C2F1A5853@stok.ca> Begin forwarded message: > From: Jonathan Leto > Date: November 15, 2010 3:57:17 AM EST > To: Portland Perl Mongers > Cc: parrot-dev , parrot-users at lists.parrot.org, Perl5 Porters , perl6-announce at perl.org, module-authors , Parrot Directors , tpf-steering at perl.org > Subject: Google Code-In brings fresh blood to the Perl and Parrot communities > > Howdy, > > I'm excited to announce that Parrot Foundation and The Perl Foundation > have been accepted as organizations in Google Code-In 2010! > > http://leto.net/perl/2010/11/parrot-foundation-the-perl-foundation-google-code-in.html > > If you know of a mailing list that you think would find this relevant > or interesting information, please pass it on! > > PS: You can see a list of all 20 accepted organizations here: > > http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/11/announcing-accepted-organizations-for.html > > Duke > > -- > Jonathan "Duke" Leto > jonathan at leto.net > http://leto.net -- Mike Stok http://www.stok.ca/~mike/ The "`Stok' disclaimers" apply. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The likely answer is that you need to use a pseudo-teletype (pty) or named pipe for I/O, so that yum doesn't buffer its output. Expect will do this for you.

Mostly because I almost never install Ruby stuff. :) If I had used homebrew, would I have installed gollum with the same commands? ie will my new, local Ruby become the default for me? I believe so. By default homebrew puts stuff in /usr/local/... so if /usr/local/bin/ruby is first in your path then it should be picked up first. The benefit (or drawback) of homebrew is you wouldn't need the sudo. My set-up is a mess due to switching back and forth between cinderella and homebrew, so my rc files have some cruft in them I should have cleared up a while ago :-( Mike -- Mike Stok http://www.stok.ca/~mike/ The "`Stok' disclaimers" apply.

I can narrow down some room possibilities so that we can consider them at the next meeting, but there are a lot of buildings to choose from. Does anyone know offhand which buildings are used by computer science etc? I'm guessing they might have the better setups for projectors etc. I work at the University, and have a perspective on this issue. I work in the Pharmacy building, but I have meetings in several buildings. The rooms with better projection capability are not necessarily those used by CS (though Bahen will be quite good regardless of room) but based modernity. Older buildings may not have built-in projectors, while new buildings almost certainly do. The key when booking is to ask for room capabilities and be sure to obtain the requisite passwords, as some projectors are controlled by touch screens which require login. -- yours, William -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
