From grant at mclean.net.nz Mon Feb 2 01:44:06 2015 From: grant at mclean.net.nz (Grant McLean) Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:44:06 +1300 Subject: [Wellington-pm] Lightning Talk meeting next Tuesday Message-ID: <1422870246.4659.16.camel@kereru> Hi Mongers I hope you all enjoyed a bit of time away from the keyboard over the Christmas and New Year period. 2015 is well and truly upon us with one month gone already and only one week till the first Perl Mongers meeting: 6:00pm Tuesday 10 February 2015 Level 3, Catalyst House 150 Willis Street Wellington As most of you will recall, we traditionally kick off our calendar with a Lightning Talk meeting in February. Obviously you'll all have been mulling over possible talk topics for a month or two and now's the time to start pulling those ideas together. You can find out more about the Lightning Talk format and topic suggestions here: http://wellington.pm.org/lightning_talks.html Whilst it is fun to turn up and enjoy the talks, it's even more fun to take part. All we need from each person is one 5 minute talk (although you're welcome to do more than one). Email me to book a slot. Let me know your talk title if you've decided, or leave us guessing. If you're going to use slides, you can email them to me next week. Contrary to what the web page above says, you can bring your own laptop, but things will run a more smoothly if most of the slides are pre-loaded on the presentation machine. Let me know if you have any questions.

The problem with saying "Email me to book a slot" is that it would be very easy for you to sit back imagining lots of other people are emailing me with their talk offers. Spoiler alert: they're not :-) Come on people, get those creative juices flowing and let me know you're going to do a lightning talk on Tuesday.

I will happily take a short slot and talk about 'Pull Request Challenge: yeah Nah!'

I'll admit to having been a bit worried last week but as is often the way it all came together in the end and we got some really good lightning talks. I've put the slides/links up on the web site: http://wellington.pm.org/archive/ Next meeting will be on March 10th which is not that far away because February is a short month. So I'd be delighted to hear from anyone who would like to do a talk (or suggest a topic). I might possibly be able to cover recursive CTE's if I can make the time to sit down and absorb the documentation.

I might be able to follow up my lightning talk on CTEs to cover recursive queries (probably not a long talk). Regards Grant
