Subject: [tpm] July 30 meeting / Toronto Perlmongers
Message-ID: <CANgc-azMS43TfRKfxZLo+19w0C3Yhk=2WUq42iBpADVq0t+NNg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Yes -- time flies, and our next Perlmongers meeting is less than two weeks
away. It's going to take place virtually on Thursday July 30, the last
Thursday of the month, as we've been doing for the longest time.

I hope you are all doing well, wherever you are, and staying safe and
healthy. Last month was the Conference in the Clouds, where close to 300
folks listened to a variety of talks over three days. There are now videos
from the conference, all uploaded to Youtube, for your consumption.

I do not have a confirmed presenter for July, but let me make some
inquiries and see what I can find. I'll update the meeetup.com page as more
information comes to light.

Cheers,

Alex

And another thing!

While I see about lining up a speaker, I encourage you to look up the talks
from last month's CiC:

Whether or not we have a speaker, I'd like to hear from the group which of
these videos you enjoyed, and what topics interested you.

Cheers,

Alex

Subject: [tpm] Reminder: Jim Keenan will give a talk on Perl 7,
 this Thursday at 7pm
Message-ID: <CANgc-axH+sTSwdrzvudwY7j_T5R7gRAY73NRHjNqOyKZpoUMrA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

As the meetup page says [1], on Thursday night Jim Keenan will give a talk
about Perl 7 -- you can view SawyerX's recent talk at the Conference in the
Cloud (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wPMh-3qYJM) for background on this.
At the presenter's request, this talk won't be streamed to Youtube --
you've gotta watch it live!

Jim and I just finished doing our tech rehearsal, and everything looks to
be working fine. As before, I will start the broadcast at 650pm on
Thursday, and will then post the streamyard URL to the mailing list and on
the meetup.com page. Click on that URL, I'll see you in the Control Room
and I'll add you to the broadcast. Please feel free to join un-muted so you
say hello as you join.

We'll start more or less at 7pm -- Jim has asked that questions go into the
chat, rather than having questions during the presentation. When we get to
a natural pause, I'll pass the questions on to Jim.

That's it -- looking forward to it!

Cheers,

Alex

Subject: [tpm] July meeting wrap-up
Message-ID: <CANgc-awuA6v9Udy3BvdwzK=r2CWnU1NN0j8-vB-0YCeZ7QNqAg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Thanks to all who attended tonight's meeting, and to Jim Keenan who talked
to us about Perl 7.

I've been using the free service streamyard.com to stream the meetings
since Google closed Hangouts, and as a free service it has some
limitations, including allowing only six people's video streams on the main
page. Tonight I learned that it also limits us to ten attendees. This has
never been a problem before, but tonight I saw popups from Streamyard
helpfully telling me that there were additional people who wanted to join
-- and they could only do that if some people left the meeting. Ugh.

Because of the pandemic, Google has announced that Google Meet is now
available to everyone, so I am going to do a trial run of that between now
and our next meeting -- August 27. Plan A will be to do that using the
toperlmongers GMail account. If that doesn't work, I'll see about using my
employer's corporate Google Meet account -- we've had over 200 attendees at
some of our All Hands meetings, so that should work -- I'll just have to
clear that usage with management.

Jim offered to answer more questions about Perl 7 on the perl.org IRC
server, in the #tpm channel .. I just checked it out (wow, adding a new
server to Hexchat is hard) and there he is.

I don't yet have any plans for our August meeting, so if you have something
in mind for a talk, please let me know! Thanks, and stay safe.

Alex
