 Hi, Chris. I've mentioned to you before that London.pm is run by a
 small number of volunteers if and when we have time. We're always
 looking for more people to help out with making things happen. If
 we're not meeting your expectations, please join in and help out.

Please don't interpret my question as some sort of back handed slight or a sign 
of a lack of appreciation. I was really asking because I don't want to miss out 
on the coming meeting and was unclear on what the signup requirements were. And 
please don't interpret any of the rest of this email as a slight either: rather 
take it as an offer to assist.

If you want to organise access rights for me on the websites, I would be more 
than happy to
- take responsibility for coordinating the release of meeting announcements 
going forward
- amend the appspot site to make it clear it is now defunct and add links to 
the other websites
- put a link from london.pm.org to the meetup group

Cheers
Chris

I'm discussing this with Alex off-list (thank you!) but anyone can
help support this event by doing the following things both before and
afterwards:  blog/tweet about it, tell your friends/colleagues about
it and, of course, show up on the evening.

I'll be at Thursday's social meeting in Shepherd's Bush and I'm happy
to discuss organisational stuff with anyone interested in that.

Is there a website for signing up to this? If I search on google for London 
Perl Mongers, the likely suspects seem to be things like:

http://london.pm.org
http://londonpmtech.appspot.com
http://www.meetup.com/London-Perl-Mongers

but none of them have it listed.

I can find it on the Conway Hall website:

http://lanyrd.com/2014/london-perl-mongers-technical-meeting

but I'm guessing that's not the official location for sign up.

Hi, Chris.  I've mentioned to you before that London.pm is run by a
small number of volunteers if and when we have time.  We're always
looking for more people to help out with making things happen.  If
we're not meeting your expectations, please join in and help out.

The meeting was announced yesterday and I haven't got round to
updating the calendar on london.pm.org yet.  We no longer use
appspot.com, so there's no news there since 2012.  We'll update
meetup.com soon.

 I can find it on the Conway Hall website:
 
 http://lanyrd.com/2014/london-perl-mongers-technical-meeting

Lanyrd is not the Conway Hall's web site.  It's a worldwide events and
conferences listing site.  (Aside, one of their developers is an ex
London Perl Monger).

 but I'm guessing that's not the official location for sign up.

Whilst it would be helpful for people to sign up on Lanyrd (or meetup
when the meeting's listed there) to give us an idea of numbers, it's
not required.

So, if you (or anyone else) would like to help run the group, please
let me know.  We're not doing half the things we would like to, we
know we don't have enough time and reminding us of this achieves
nothing.  Helping out will achieve much more.

Thank you,
Tom

Hi Chris,

Signup will not be a requirement to this tech meet, though it helps us get
an idea of numbers. I will be using the London PM Meetup group that Leon
Brocard set up to announce technical meetings, as well as messages to the
announce list.

I didn't even know it was on lanyrd, I'm guessing that one of our members
has kindly put it there already. Cool!


Thanks,

[ANNOUNCE] Next Technical Meeting: 24th July @ Conway Hall

2014-06-26 Thread Sue Spence
Hi everyone,

London Perl Mongers will hold its next technical meeting in the Brockway
room at Conway Hall on Thursday 24th July, doors opening at 18:30 for a
19:00 start.

Please submit talk proposals to me (off-list), any length from 5 - 30
minutes will be cheerfully considered.  Topic suggestions:

- Today I Learned (something new  to you about Perl or a technology built
with Perl)
- Technical Debt Reduction (war stories from your work experience,
especially with a happy ending)
- Personal projects in which you used Perl in some way
- Perl 6 and/or its triumvirate of supported virtual machine back ends
(Parrot, Moar, JVM)

... or indeed anything else Perl-related that you're passionate about.

I would like to thank Rick Deller / Eligo Recruitment for generously
sponsoring us.

Cheers,
-sue
