From jarich at perltraining.com.au Mon Jan 9 17:03:03 2006 From: jarich at perltraining.com.au (Jacinta Richardson) Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2006 12:03:03 +1100 Subject: [Wellington-pm] PerlNet: Australian Perl Portal Opens Message-ID: <43C307C7.60501@perltraining.com.au> G'day Wellington.PM, As some of you may be aware, PerlNet, the Australian Perl Portal, has been in incubation for almost a year. However the time has finally come to bring it out into the light. Wellington.PM already has a page at http://perl.net.au/wiki/Wellington_Perl_Mongers . Be bold in your edits and enjoy! The full press release follows: == PerlNet: Australian Perl Portal Opens == 10th January, 2005 (Australia) PerlNet (http://perl.net.au/), the Australian and New Zealand Perl portal, is announcing its doors open to the world. PerlNet is focused on all aspects of Perl in Australia and New Zealand, including user-groups, business, education and development. The content of PerlNet can be freely edited and distributed, and the site uses MediaWiki, the same software that powers Wikipedia. PerlNet's goal is to be a resource for all users of Perl, and to bring the community together to collaborate and share ideas. Businesses that support Perl are encouraged to provide listings. User-groups are encouraged to host their pages and content. Individuals are encouraged to write about their projects and experiences. Stephen Steneker, the leader of Sydney Perl Mongers, has already moved his group's content across to the new site. "PerlNet just makes it much easier for our members to get involved," said Steneker. "It's easy for members to write meeting reports, plan new events, and discuss ideas and projects." While PerlNet is aimed primarily at the Australian and New Zealand communities, it's free for anyone to use and edit. "We've been seeing a wide range of contributors," said Paul Fenwick, the founder of PerlNet and director of Perl Training Australia. "We've had material submitted from editors in Europe, China, Israel, North America, as well as locally." All contributions to PerlNet are made under a creative-commons license, allowing everyone to use, distribute, and make derivative works. Registering as an editor takes only a few seconds, and both a mailing list and IRC channel exist to help further discussions. -- ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ | Jacinta Richardson | `6_ 6 ) `-.

Message-ID: <1136949899.17729.10.camel@localhost.localdomain> Hi Mongers As you'll all recall, the first meeting of 2006 will be a lightning talk evening on Monday February 13th. For the lightning talk meeting to be a success, we need lots of people (that includes you!) to volunteer to each do a five minute talk - many hands make lightning work. Your talk need not be heavily Perl related. If you think you can talk for 5 minutes on a topic of interest to the Wellington Perl Mongers crowd then we'd love to hear from you. Read more here: http://wellington.pm.org/lightning_talks.html See you in February.

As you'll recall, a lightning talk evening is scheduled. I know that traditionally people like to leave volunteering until the last minute, but I was kind of hoping we could get a few more people to commit to filling a slot and maybe let me know closer to the time what they're planning to talk about. If you've never given a talk before, then you really shouldn't miss this opportunity to push your own boundaries and perhaps even surprise yourself. Don't assume that you need to be some sort of Perl expert - if you've achieved something using Perl, then tell us about it. Often the most interesting information is the stuff you tried that didn't work. Read more here: http://wellington.pm.org/lightning_talks.html See you on February 13th. Cheers Grant
