Hi Mongers

The March meeting of Wellington Perl Mongers is next Tuesday (the 9th).

We have two speakers lined up:

 * Finlay Thompson - The R Project for Statistical Computing
 * Tobias Kirschstein - Impromptu Live Performance Programming

Tobi is in need of an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter so if you
have one he could borrow, please let me know.

Time and place as usual: http://wellington.pm.org/

Also, if you liked the Lightning Talk format from last month's meeting
and have no plans this evening, you might like to come along to Ignite
Wellington:

  http://www.ignitewellington.co.nz/

See you there.

Cheers
Grant

Hi

I am intending to attend next week, and can bring an Apple adapter if it's
still required

Hi Mongers

March meeting is tomorrow evening.  http://wellington.pm.org/

And Dan - yes please bring your Apple display adapter.  I thought I had
one but it turned out to be mini-DVI whereas Tobi needs
mini-DisplayPort.

Cheers
Grant

Whoops - didn't know there was a difference. A quick look through the Apple
store shows that I have a DVI to VGA adaptor

Sorry.

i found one. manuella from NZRS has one and i will pick it up just before the talk *phew*

the last resort would have been the board room on level 6 which has a projector with DVI input, but not really much room for a lot chairs.
(i don't expect many people anyway willing to see my crappy talk :D, which btw, got a bit reduced in content as i had to fight some vmware madness for a client the whole day pretty much until now...).

yes, i know, i had a week for preparation, but you all know how it is sometimes :)

BUT i might consider a 2nd part of my presentation at another PM meeting with more advanced features like opengl + live image campturing...

Hi Mongers

That was a thoroughly enjoyable meeting.  Thanks Finlay for a great
intro to R [1] and thanks Tobi for showing us some of the possibilities
of Impromptu [2].

The next meeting will be on April 13th.  I'm very keen to hear from
anyone who would like to speak or anyone who would like to suggest a
topic.

Don't forget to take the Unicode Character Finder [3] for a spin.

Cheers

Date: Monday 08 March 2010
From: Jonathan Leto <jaleto at gmail.com>
To: Portland Perl Mongers <pdx-pm-list at pm.org>

Howdy,

I am working on the application for The Perl Foundation and Parrot
Foundation to participate in Google Summer of Code 2010 [0]. GSoC is a
program where Google funds eligible students to hack on open source
projects for a summer. It is a great opportunity for the students and
the communities that mentor them. You also may be interested in this
summary of our involvement last year [1]. Our application will be
submitted by the end of this week.

Please join us in getting prepared for this year. There is a page for
possible mentors to volunteer [2]* as well as a page for project ideas
[3]. If you would like to help with the wiki, our main GSoC page [4]
is the best place to start. You are also invited to join our mailing
list [5] and come ask question in #soc-help on irc.perl.org .

Thanks!

Duke
