From grant at mclean.net.nz Tue Jan 12 13:37:18 2010 From: grant at mclean.net.nz (Grant McLean) Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 10:37:18 +1300 Subject: [Wellington-pm] Upcoming Events Message-ID: <1263332238.19491.83.camel@putnam.wgtn.cat-it.co.nz> Hi Mongers As you will have noticed, there was no January meeting of Wellington.pm, but if you're looking for your "geek fix" then next week's Linux Conf should more than fit the bill and it's not too late to register: http://www.lca2010.org.nz/ There will be a HackOff event at LCA on the Wednesday evening. http://wellington.pm.org/hackoff/ Since it's a team event it would be great if we could assemble a team or two of Perl hackers from the Wellington conference attendees - reply here on the list if you'd like to take part. Since there will be a lot of out-of-towners here for the conference (and hopefully for the HackOff too) the plan is to move on after the event to a local establishment for drinks and food. I'd appreciate a volunteer or two to help with the crowd wrangling and pointing people in the right direction. On a completely different note ... The first Wellington.pm meeting of 2010 will be a lightning talk meeting on Tuesday February the 9th. Start thinking about what you can talk about now and I'll issue a call for sign-ups after LCA is over. http://wellington.pm.org/lightning_talks.html Cheers Grant From michael at livia.co.nz Tue Jan 12 13:41:00 2010 From: michael at livia.co.nz (michael at livia.co.nz) Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 10:41:00 +1300 Subject: [Wellington-pm] Upcoming Events In-Reply-To: Your message of "Wed, 13 Jan 2010 10:37:18 +1300." <1263332238.19491.83.camel@putnam.wgtn.cat-it.co.nz> Message-ID: Grant McLean writes: > http://wellington.pm.org/hackoff/ > >Since it's a team event it would be great if we could assemble a team or >two of Perl hackers from the Wellington conference attendees - reply >here on the list if you'd like to take part.

Please feel free to book a slot (just drop me an email) even if you haven't decided what to talk about yet.
