That would be awesome! What sort of 'persuasion' techniques are likely to work best? Tuesday the 10th is nominally our meeting night but we're always happy to be flexible for visiting dignitaries :-) Cheers Grant From brenda at wallace.net.nz Mon Jan 12 20:17:41 2009 From: brenda at wallace.net.nz (Brenda Wallace) Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 17:17:41 +1300 Subject: [Wellington-pm] meeting tonight?

For the first three of those years (2004-2006) it ran in Melbourne before moving to Brisbane (2007) and Sydney (2008). Each year it has had at least three full streams of content running concurrently, catered tea breaks and lunches, a formal sit-down conference dinner on the first night, and free speaker entry. Some years have also included one or two days of tutorial content. The Open Source Developers' Conference provides an important opportunity for developers of open source applications and developers who use open source tools to share knowledge and teach each other about the changes and new ideas that have come up in the last year or so. Our core focus is on writing code, and the tools that make that easier. The Open Source Developers' Club exec are seeking applications from interested parties to host the 2009 Open Source Developers' Conference. Location is not an issue, so long as you are in the oceanic region. If you are interested, or know someone that is, please complete the application form at http://tinyurl.com/osdc2009-application before 1st March 2009. The submission email address is included at the top of the form. We do have some model rules ( http://www.osdcon.org/wiki/Model_Rules ) and a lot of ideas to share. Having said that, we're willing to be as active or quiet as you need us to be. Traditionally the conference has been run in either the last week of November or the first week in December, if you want to deviate a lot from these dates you will need to talk to us first. You will need at group of 6-8 dedicated people who are able to give up an average of 3 hours a week from the acceptance date through to the conference itself. You will be responsible for: - finding and booking the venue(s) - managing your finances (there will be some seed capital) - advertising your call for papers to as many open source programming groups you know (we're happy to share our list with you too) - creating the program (preferably ensuring that no one language or concept unduly dominates) - identifying, deciding upon and inviting keynote speakers - organising all the social events - organising the catering - seeking and arranging sponsorships - advertising the conference - finding volunteers and running an awesome conference In return you will get: - help from us when asked - the satisfaction of arranging an awesome conference - fame for running the best OSDC yet - a chance to improve your profile in the open source world - kudos from the exec committee, speakers and attendees As this is such a big undertaking, we want you to know that we'll support you every step of the way. Should you need more help, we're here to offer advice or step in and do things if we can. Although OSDC Inc isn't flush with cash, there are funds to cover deposits before the money comes in. If for unforeseen difficulties the conference makes a loss, you won't be out of pocket; although we do ask that you keep us apprised of the financial situation on a regular basis and warn us if there may be a problem. We look forward to seeing your application!

Most probably you get this message via various channels and i apologize for it but getting the message out and spreading the word is key to reach all those who might be interested. Any agenda? Well, I'll give a short intro to erlang itself and would develop a small mochiweb application with a CouchDB backend during the evening. nothing too big, just to give you an impression of what erlang can do and how you play with CouchDB a bit. If you are interested in either one or both or if you want to present something to the rest of us, feel free to come along. If you are just interested to meet with other geeks, early adopters, functional programmers, startup guys, established telco programmers ... come along.

Paul and Jacinta run Perl Training Australia; are based in Melbourne; have notched up numerous conference appearances (including: OSDC, SAGE-AU, Linux.conf.au and OSCON); and were part of the core team that got the OSDC conference off the ground in Australia. The meeting start time is 6:00pm as usual and we may go for a meal afterwards. http://wellington.pm.org/ http://perltraining.com.au/ 2) Linux.conf.au 2010 needs your help As you may have heard, a Wellington team was successful in bidding to host the 2010 Linux.conf.au. No doubt the people assessing the bids were swayed by the letter from the coordinator of Wellington Perl Mongers pledging support. It seems likely that we'll organise a Perl 'mini-conf' for one of the days leading up to the conference proper. There will also be plenty of opportunities for you to get involved in making sure the conference is a success. Stay tuned for more details or let me know if there's something specific you can help with. Also, if your company would like to talk about sponsoring the event, take a look at the web site. The conference will be in January. http://www.penguinsvisiting.org.nz/ 3) Submit a proposal to speak at OSCON OSCON 2009 will be in San Jose. Time is quickly running out for submitting a talk proposal.

I've been looking for Perl Monger groups in NZ and it seems as if wellington.pm is the only "active" group. My itinerary will bring me to Wellington on February 24th, and I'll be taking the morning ferry to Picton on the 26th. While in Wellington, I wouldn't mind meeting with some Perl hackers. I already saw that I'll be two weeks late for the regular February meeting... ;) Just let me know if you're interested in some cultural exchange. Kind regards, Marcus P.S.: I could offer to prepare a short talk on my Convert::Binary::C module, in case anyone is interested. (As I don't have any talks in english yet, this has to be something that I can easily prepare in parallel to doing the vacation preparations. :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Marcus It's always nice to meet up with travelling Perl folks. We even have a few Germans in our group. If you'd like to meet up for a beer and maybe a meal on Feb 24th or 25th then I'm sure we can get some folk together. If you want to tell us about your Convert::Binary::C then I can organise a room and a projector and then we can do beer after that.
