[Wellington-pm] Next meeting Monday Oct 11th

[Grant McLean]

Hi Mongers

Only a week and a half till the next meeting (where did that 
last month go?), so make sure you have it in your diary.

  http://wellington.pm.org/

We have Sam lined up first to speak on Tangram.  

I had hoped to bully Hamish into giving a demo of the EPIC Perl
plugin for the Eclipse IDE but given that he'll be in Palmerston
North on the 11th I've had to admit defeat on that one.

The second item on the agenda is an introduction to Perl regular
expressions.  As no one has put their hand up to do that, I guess
I'll be doing it.  (Sam, how much time do you think you'll need?)

See you there on the 11th.

Regards
Grant

> The discussion about future meetings covered the following points:
> 
> * Future meetings will be held monthly (let's maintain the momentum)
> 
> * There was clear support for scheduling future meetings to
>   coincide with the WellyLUG meetings (PM 6:00-730, LUG 7:30-???)
>   which are on the second Monday of each month
> 
> * Catalyst are happy to continue to host Perl Mongers and this is
>   convenient for moving on to the WellyLUG meeting upstairs, but
>   alternative venues are possible
> 
> * In addition to the regular technical meeting, there is interest
>   in organising regular social meets (ie: at a pub).  Sam suggested
>   meeting a week before the tech meeting although it was noted
>   that Monday is possibly not the best night - discussion on the
>   list please
> 
> * We had a few people volunteer to present at future tech meetings
>   (yay!):
> 
>   * Sam Vilain offered to talk on Tangram (or was it specifically
>     Class::Tangram?) at the next meeting in October
> 
>   * Michael Robinson said he could talk about Maypole and about
>     DBI some time after next month
> 
>   * Grant requested a talk introducing Python to Perl programmers
>     and Douglas (Bagnall?) kindly offered to oblige
> 
>   * Subjects that people would like covered included:
> 
>     * Regular expressions
>     * IDE's for Perl development
>     * PHP (compared to Perl?)  (Peter, did the link cover this?)
>     * GUI programming
>     * References and OO
> 
> Sam, how much time do you want for your Tangram talk?  I'd be happy
> to put something together on regexes for next month if we took say
> 30-40 minutes each.  (If someone else would like to do the regex
> talk then speak up).
