Hi Mongers

The July meeting of Wellington Perl Mongers is next Tuesday - the 12th
of July.

    6:00pm Tuesday 12 July 2016
    Level 3, Catalyst House
    150 Willis Street
    Wellington
    http://wellington.pm.org/

Donovan is going to do a talk entitled:

  The journey to a four tier application architecture and what
  to do when you get there.

Which he promises will be both fun and enlightening (I may have made
that bit up).

We might have time for another short talk - let me know if you're keen
to speak.  Florent's Perl 6 talk is deferred to August.

Cheers
Grant

Glad my talk was postponed. It is not quite ready yet.

See you all on Tuesday

Hi Mongers

Apologies for the very late reminder.  The july meeting is happening at
6:00pm tonight.

Donovan is doing a talk.  I've also had a talk offer on X11::GUITest
from Veli but was unable to confirm if that was for tonight or for a
future meeting.

See you there
Grant

Subject: [Wellington-pm] Round-up of last night's meeting
Message-ID: <1468372933.21703.18.camel@putnam.wgtn.cat-it.co.nz>

Hi all

Thanks to everyone for coming along and participating in last night's
meeting.  Special thanks to Donovan for his talk on four-tier
application architecture.  I'll put his slides up on the web site
if/when he sends me a copy.

If you want to try out the Unicode Character Finder tool I was demoing,
you can find it here:

  http://www.mclean.net.nz/ucf/  or here: http://liip.to/unicode

The EmojiOne Color font with the support for Fitzpatrick Types for skin
tones and the Regional Indicator alphabet is on GitHub here:

  https://github.com/eosrei/emojione-color-font

On a completely different subject ... some of you may be also interested
in the Postgres User Group's meeting next Thursday evening.  They have a
guest speaker who will be talking about the pros and cons of using
relational databases for work queues.  More details here:

http://www.meetup.com/Wellington-PostgreSQL-User-Group/events/232185039/


The next meeting of Wellington Perl Mongers will be on Tuesday the 9th
of August.  We have Florent lined up to tell us what he's been learning
playing with Perl 6.  Let me know if you'd like to speak.

Regards
Grant
