I thought you all might be interested in the Google Open Source Jam event that's happening at the Google offices in Brandschenkestrasse. From the original message announcing this: http://groups.google.com/group/open-source-jam-zurich/browse_thread/thread/b05ba5fb93892932 === When: May 22, 2008, 18:00 CEST until about 22:00 CEST Where: Google office at Brandschenkestrasse 110, 8002 Zurich, Switzerland Signup: http://services.google.com/events/ossjam_zurich_2008_2 There will be free drinks, Free Beer[2] and food. Feel free to invite your friend and/or coworkers to sign up, too. In case you want to hold a lightning talk[3], please tell us so in the signup form. === As well as working at Google I'm a long time Perl user and developer (nikc at cpan.org) and used to play a part in the London Perl Mongers group. It would be great to meet other Perl users from Zurich and the surrounding area. If you'd like to attend please sign up at http://services.google.com/events/ossjam_zurich_2008_2 If you've not been to one of these events before there's some useful information at http://groups.google.com/group/open-source-jam-zurich N From stsc at members.fsf.org Fri May 16 04:04:14 2008 From: stsc at members.fsf.org (Steven Schubiger) Date: Fri, 16 May 2008 13:04:14 +0200 Subject: [Zurich-pm] Google Open Source Jam, 22 May 2008 In-Reply-To: <482D4CD3.6010701@google.com> References: <482D4CD3.6010701@google.com> Message-ID: <20080516110414.GA19240@refcnt.homeunix.org> nik wrote: > I thought you all might be interested in the Google Open Source Jam > event that's happening at the Google offices in Brandschenkestrasse. > > From the original message announcing this: > > http://groups.google.com/group/open-source-jam-zurich/browse_thread/thread/b05ba5fb93892932 > === > When: May 22, 2008, 18:00 CEST until about 22:00 CEST > Where: Google office at Brandschenkestrasse 110, 8002 Zurich, Switzerland > Signup: http://services.google.com/events/ossjam_zurich_2008_2 > > There will be free drinks, Free Beer[2] and food.

FWIW, some of the people here, who have signed up for the mailing-list (approximately a dozen), are, as far as I can tell, also involved to various differing degrees in the well-known aspects of the perl community (i.e., CPAN et al). Others probably less, but I guess, that's just the usual mix one encounters within a typical monger group. Not everybody here, of course, has necessarily to be an expert. > It would be great to meet other Perl users from Zurich and the > surrounding area. Well, there hasn't been even a casual meeting (where people voluntarily showed up) until now. I, for one, think that the other "free software" centered groups (e.g., LUGs) /tend/ to attract most people nowadays here in Switzerland (which I'm inclined to think is tightly related to the fact that people often like a bit more diversity than a 'too' specific group can offer). It's a bit of a pity though, but, for example, the Aarau perl-mongers (http://aarau.pm.org) have managed to meet now and then again.

Yes indeed. I notice this is the third such meeting and I didn't know about any of them. > > As well as working at Google I'm a long time Perl user and developer > > (nikc at cpan.org) and used to play a part in the London Perl Mongers group. Snap. Well, apart from the working at google bit. And I suppose that I still play as much of a part in london.pm as I ever did. So not that much of a snap really after all. > > It would be great to meet other Perl users from Zurich and the > > surrounding area. I've signed up and also offered to give a lightning talk so Nik, and anyone else who makes it there, please come and say hello sometime. I'll try and bring along a friend from work too. Fortunately it's the evening before I head off to Stockholm for the Nordic Perl Workshop http://conferences.yapceurope.org/npw2008/ which I am very much lookng forward to. All apart from about an hour or so ;-) PS Steven - fill in your PM census form! -- Paul Johnson - paul at pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net
