Hi folks.

I'm very interested in using Perl to develop a web application and am quite
excited to see there's a mailing list for local Perl developers.

I come from a mostly Java background and am hoping to learn a bit more about
web development that does not involve Java. I see I can deploy Perl-based
apps without needing fancy servers, just a standard web hosting account
seems to be enough to get started. Coming from Cape Town, I enjoy learning
at a nice, slow pace - so no JHB learn-it-in-a-day tactics for me.

I'll try not to ask too many stupid questions, but hey, I reserve the right
to not get something the first time :)

Regards
Ewald

Hello, Ewald,

Welcome!

I have not got far, but am slowly building  web app using Catalyst
which is the Perl answer to all other patent web production systems. I
am looking for some quality time over the Xmas recess here to move
forward a bit faster.

Good luck.

Anne

Subject: [pm_groups] Perl @ FOSDEM 2011 - Call for speakers

---------------------------------------------------------------------
FOSDEM is one of the biggest Free and Open Source event held annually
in Brussels, Belgium. The expected number of visitors is around 4-5000.

     http://www.fosdem.org/2011/

Last year there was a Perl booth and a few Perl related talks.
This year we are going to have a devroom where we will be
presenting a number of Perl related talks.
FOSDEM will take place on the 5 - 6th February 2011.
The Perl devroom will be on Sunday 6th February from 09:00 to 17:00..

We're looking for speakers to submit talks for inclusion in the program.

In our conversations with the FOSDEM visitors last year we found
that while many were using Perl or interested in Perl,
almost none of them have ever attended a Perl Workshop or a YAPC.
Hence this is an opportunity to show the latest developments in the
Perl world to a wider audience.

A number of topics that might be interesting:

* Moose, the Object Oriented system of Perl
* Dancer and Mojolicous, the new light-weight web frameworks
* New features of Perl (5.10 and 5.12)
* How to run a new version of Perl on an older system
* Testing Perl code and using Perl for automated testing
* Writing games in Perl
* Using Perl modules without root access
* Database access using Perl
* Data mining with Perl
* Porting legacy Perl to Modern Perl
* Perl 6

Presenting ?a Perl based software such s a
* Content Management System
* Bug tracking software
* ...

Talks can be 15, 30 or 45 min long including (!) 2-3 minutes
switching time between talks.

Please submit your proposals to:

events at lists.perlfoundation.org

and include the following information:

* Your name
* The title of your talk (please be descriptive,
as titles will be listed together with ~250 talks
from other projects)
* A short abstract of one or two paragraphs
* A short biography introducing yourself
* Links to related websites/blogs etc.

The deadline for submissions is 20th December 2010.
The proposals will be considered by committee.
If your proposal has been accepted, you will be
informed by email by 27 December 2010.

Coordination of the Perl presence at FOSDEM is done
on the TPF wiki page:

Subject: [za-pm] VOIP providers and DID free numbers
Message-ID: <AANLkTik_-hJTJGKFSoSiH-TwvFTfUFPa+TtCzQpxtZ5Z@mail.gmail.com>

Hi!

Sorry for asking here, I know it's a bit OT as this does not have
directly to do with Perl.

I'm italian, living in Norway with my south african fiance, and I'm
thinking of setting up Asterisk so that her parents can easily call
through their home phone, without spending too much for calling an
overseas mobile number.
Before you ask, of course we use Skype, but it's not always a viable
and easy option, especially with people with little confidence with
computers and programs ;)

I'm researching on VOIP providers in South Africa, in particular for
getting a (possibly free) DID (Direct Inward Dialing) south african
number.

I'm not sure if the phone companies that provide analog phone service,
also provide VOIP options, and how it can work in that case.

Does anyone have any suggestion on where I can look?
Even better, does anyone have a free DID through some VOIP provider?

I know in Italy there's this possibility, a free DID number, where you
pay only for making calls and not for receiving them.

Thanks in advance,

I suggest to have a look also at the alternatives to Catalyst, like
Dancer and Mojolicious.

For small applications they are very interesting: easier to use and
much more lightweight than Catalyst, from which they borrow a lot of
concepts.

I'm currently trying out Mojolicious for the rewrite of my personal
site and I like it.

Ciao!
