From grant at mclean.net.nz Thu Dec 8 20:23:34 2011 From: grant at mclean.net.nz (Grant McLean) Date: Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:23:34 +1300 Subject: [Wellington-pm] Social Meetin next Tuesday (Dec 13) Message-ID: <1323404614.4290.9.camel@hoiho> Hi Mongers Just a quick note to remind you that the final meeting of Wellington Perl Mongers will be a social meetup on Tuesday evening next week (December 13th). The venue is Mac's Brew Bar on Taranaki Street Wharf: http://www.macsbrewbar.co.nz/ You'll probably find people turning up from around 5:30pm. Hopefully the early arrivals can spread out and claim some table space. I know you're all racking your brains to think of what you want to talk about at the lightning talk meeting in February. Don't worry, I've got the perfect solution ... there are at least half a dozen Perl and Perl-related 'advent calendar' web sites that are putting up one short page each day on a variety of topics. These short posts translate extremely well to the 5 minute talk format so go out there and steal liberally :-) See you next week Grant From grant at mclean.net.nz Thu Dec 8 20:31:13 2011 From: grant at mclean.net.nz (Grant McLean) Date: Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:31:13 +1300 Subject: [Wellington-pm] Social Meetin next Tuesday (Dec 13) In-Reply-To: <1323404614.4290.9.camel@hoiho> References: <1323404614.4290.9.camel@hoiho> Message-ID: <1323405073.4290.11.camel@hoiho> Sorry, I meant to link to a blog post listing all the advent calendars ripe for transforming into lightning talks: http://www.lowlevelmanager.com/2011/12/perl-advent-calendars-2011-edition.html Cheers Grant On Fri, 2011-12-09 at 17:23 +1300, Grant McLean wrote: > Hi Mongers > > Just a quick note to remind you that the final meeting of Wellington > Perl Mongers will be a social meetup on Tuesday evening next week > (December 13th).

The best part is the price of the books there!
