Boston.pm will have a tech meeting on Wednesday, February 15, at MIT, in building E51, room 376 (directions below), starting at 7:15pm.
(Note: This meeting is on Wednesday, not Tuesday!) This meeting will be all about graphs! A few months ago, Alex Brelsfoard asked the list for suggestions on how to create graphs in Perl. Alex will start things off by explaining what he was looking for, and then discussing two of the approaches he considered, GD::Graph and SVG. I've been using gnuplot for a personal project, so I'll talk about Chart::Graph::Gnuplot versus shelling out to gnuplot directly. Jeremy Muhlich has been making graphs straight from Excel files. He'll present his code and tell us about Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, PDL, and GD. RSVP to me if you're planning to attend - rjk-bostonpm(at)tamias.net. Pizza and soda will be provided. Ronald * Starting at 7pm doesn't give me enough time to set up the computer and connect to MIT's network. It's okay if you arrive before 7:15, of course.

Building E51 is right around the corner from the T stop. From the Inbound side, facing into Main Street, turn right (toward Boston) and walk down the block. Turn right on Wadsworth Street and walk to the corner of Amherst Street. Building E51 is the building across the street directly in front of you with the metal canopy. Directions by Car: General directions provided by MIT: http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?section=directions The Boston Linux and Unix user group also meets at E51, so you may find their directions helpful as well (keeping in mind that we will be meeting in room 376, not room 315): http://www.blu.org/directions/mit/e51-315.php Parking Information: MIT's Amherst Street Lot is adjacent to the building: http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?selection=P4&Parking=go Officially, a sticker is required to park in the lot. However, we've been told unofficially that there is no enforcement after 3pm weekdays, nor on the weekends. Chances are very slim that cars will be ticketed. Nonetheless, parking in the lot is at your own risk. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
