Re: Camel update
From: Simon Wilcox [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 7/3/02 3:37:49 PM People may recall that when we went to the zoo last year the camels didn't look very happy. Well I went to the zoo a couple of weeks ago and I am pleased to report that they seem much happier now. Following the move of the elephants to Whipsnade, the camels have been moved into the old elephant house and the extra space seems to be agreeing with them. Did you see the sponsors plaque? Does it have our name on it? All of which reminds me. I assume that when we re-sponsoered the camel last year we got another load of free tickets. If this is true (Robert?) shall we have another trip this year. And also a reminder that our sponsorship runs out on August 6th (the 4th anniversary of our first meeting). Given that we haven't yet raised enough money to repay Robert for paying for it last year, I'm guessing that we probably don't want to do it again this year. But I may, of course, be wrong in that. What do you think? Dave... -- http://www.dave.org.uk Let me see you make decisions, without your television - Depeche Mode (Stripped)

That's been an issue of much debate around the table at the pub of late.
I don't think we came to any conclusions, apart from that there were many
things we could sponsor:
a) The Camel
b) YAS
c) Some other donation (e.g. paying to send someone to a conference,
work full time for a month on software, etc. etc.)
And that maybe we shouldn't commit funds before we've collected them.
Mark.

webmasterworld - conference
Hi, This guy wondered if I would be interested in going to this Conference in the CoY!! - They borrowed our directions (they were kind enough to actually ask!) and have put a link back to us. I said I'd forward this on as I won't be able to make it but an afternoon or two in a pub talking web tech (though it sounds sort of general) might take some people's fancy. It's £45, they say that's just covering costs so I don't know what it entails. Anyway, Laters Leo On Wed, Jul 03, 2002 at 11:09:28AM -0500, Brett Tabke wrote: PubConference 2 Internet Webmaster and Marketing Conference. Hosted by members of WebmasterWorld. Saturday Oct 12, 2002, 1pm to whenever. Cittie of Yorke Pub in downtown London England. Open bar. Round tables on various webmaster topics (mostly marketing and search engine promotion). We expect 200+ total from all over the world. About a dozen medium to hardcore Perl pros will be there (come and recruit). 45 pounds to cover our expenses (it's a not-for-profit thing).

London.pm List Weekly Summary 2002-06-24
This is the (mumble+6)th summary of the London Perlmongers mailing list for the week beginning 2002-06-24, covering 84 messages in 16 threads. First up, that real life meeting thing. There's a social meet tonight (Thursday) at the Cittie of York in Holborn, and as well as that the tech meet is finalised! It's to be held at Fotango on Thursday 18th July, and you can see more details at Paul Mison's -announce post or the london.pm.org meetings page. We're still after a projector, so please come forward if you can provide one for the night. http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm-announce/2002-July/11.html http://london.pm.org/meetings/ Simon Wistow posted to point out that the list has over 300 members, some of whom are from 'big-name' companies like the BBC/EMI/Motorola; He asked for examples of how Perl is used at these companies. Alex McLintock pointed us at his list of companies who support or need support for open source software. http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/Week-of-Mon-20020624/020739.html http://www.owal.co.uk/oss_support/ Mark Fowler asked for the best way to create a hash value of a data structure, so he can write them to disk. He pointed out flaws in using Data::Dumper or Storable for this, and Andrew suggested Data::Denter. Nick Clark pointed out that md5sum'd Data::Dumper output could change along with versions of perl. The thread moved on to talk about tied hashes, Memoize and Cache::Cache. http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/Week-of-Mon-20020624/020757.html http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/Week-of-Mon-20020624/020759.html http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/Week-of-Mon-20020624/020765.html Alex McLintock alerted the list to the recent OpenSSH vulnerabilities. Upgrade to 3.4 if you haven't already! http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm/Week-of-Mon-20020624/020781.html Nik Clayton asked for speakers for a UK FreeBSD event in London in August. He also asked for any ideas on how to encourage particpation. http://listserver.uk.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-users/2002-June/006019.html .. and that looks like it. Apologies for the delay on this summary, I've just started a new job.

I'm sure one of us from round here (me, blech, muttley predominantly) can bring t-shirts to any london.pm events if given a bit of warning. To do my bit for sales, they really are very nice t-shirts.
