Thanks to everyone who turned up last night. I think it went quite well; we seemed to have about 50 people turn up through the evening, and the kitty was well enough stocked to have a surplus at the end. Hopefully you all enjoyed yourselves. (I even heard people talking about Perl. Scary, eh?)
Alex McLintock turned up with a copy of the Perl Black Book, which reminded me it was time to name and shame the people who have books but haven't reviewed them. If you're on the list, *please* either review the book or bring it along to a meeting so someone else gets the chance. (Oh, and if somehow this list turns out to be wrong, feel free to yell.) Learning the Unix Operating System (5ed) - Lucy McWilliam Web Design in a Nutshell - Earle Martin Perl for Web Site Management - Anthony Fisher XSLT - Dave Hodgkinson Network Troubleshooting Tools - Roger Burton West Programming Cold Fusion - Simon Wilcox Server Load Balancing - Sue Spence Web Caching - Andy Williams Learning Perl - Alex Page NFS/NIS - Sue Gray Linux Device Drivers - Simon Wistow Java Cookbook - Joe McFadden Exim - Jo Walsh We also now have three confirmed speakers for the tech talk (you know who you are, hopefully) and a venue, and I'll announce both the list of talks and where they'll be over the weekend, after I've got the last slot or two of the meeting sorted. (If you want to pitch a lightning talk- say 10 minutes or less- mail me off list asap.) -- :: paul :: macintosh!
