Hi Mongers

The next meeting of Wellington Perl Mongers is *this Tuesday*.  Lucky

from me :-)

  Level 4, Catalyst House

  Wellington

We have two speakers lined up:

 * Olly Betts - Modelling you data in Xapian

Cheers
Grant

Hi Mongers

The next meeting of Wellington Perl Mongers is tonight.  For some reason
New Zealand Football scheduled the All Whites fixture on the same
evening but kickoff is not till 7:30 so the players should be able to
attend most of our meeting before heading down to the stadium.

  6:00pm Tuesday 12 October 2010
  Level 4, Catalyst House
  150 Willis Street
  Wellington

We have two speakers lined up:

 * Olly Betts - Modelling you data in Xapian
 * Douglas Bagnall - Everything I know about Lua

See you there!

Cheers
Grant

Hi Mongers

Thank you to Olly and Douglas for a couple of interesting talks on
Tuesday evening.  If either of you want to flick me a copy of your
slides then I'll put them on the web site.

Thanks also to the small but enthusiastic 'crowd'.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday November 9th and as usual I'm keen
to hear from anyone who would like to do a talk.

Nigel - did you want to sign up to tell us about continuous deployment?

Cheers
Grant

I wouldn't mind a chance to preview the other talk I had accepted for
OSDC:

    "Exploring the Underworld with Free Software"

Hi Mongers

I've just realised that our scheduled meeting for November happens to be
the same night as the NZ Open Source Awards.  The simplest solution is
to slip our meeting one week later to the 16th of November.

I still haven't had any volunteers to speak at the November meeting.  So
if you're interested please let me know.

And speaking of the NZOSA, make sure you get along and vote in the
People's Choice Awards: http://www.nzosa.org.nz/

Cheers
Grant

With only 22 days to go until the 7th Australian Open Source Developers'
Conference, and a maximum capacity of 240, now is the time to register
to attend.

	http://2010.osdc.com.au/register

At only $300 for professional delegates and $200 for students (valid
proof of student status required upon arrival), this 3 day conference
plus one day workshop represents the best value for money for Australian
developer conferences.

PHP Pre-Day
~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks to sponsorship from Microsoft, OSDC will feature a "PHP Pre-day".
Attendance and food is free thanks to the sponsorship, but numbers are
limited, so get in fast!

	http://2010.osdc.com.au/register

"You will not be borg'd and powerpointed to death with Microsoft speak,"
says Nick Hodge, one of the Microsoft folks attending the conference.
"The day is all about PHP."

If you'd like to present on a PHP-related topic at this pre-day, please
contact Nick Hodge directly at nhodge at microsoft.com.

WHO IS THIS CONFERENCE FOR?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Programmers who use open source tools and languages for open source
projects, or even closed source projects; along with those use
proprietary tools for open source projects are all welcome; as is anyone
who would just like to learn more about software development and the
tools and languages we're using. This is a great conference for
