Thanks. I enjoyed giving a talk, not something I do very often. I'll see
if I can think of something for the next one...

Hello.
Thanks to everyone for the great tech meet last night. Thanks to the
speakers for turning up and talking (and *finally* getting me all their
slides in advance.) Thanks to Profero for the venue. Thanks to Justin
and Tim for staying after work to help. Thanks to everyone for turning
up.
Oh, and thanks to Leo for getting the slides online already:
http://london.pm.org/tech_talks/21_nov_2002/
They're all there, with the exception of Lucy's phyiscal props, which were
a bit hard to digitise. To console yourself there's the extra bonus Dave
Cantrell slides which weren't actually presented at the tech meet.
Right, enough of that. Who wants to speak at the next one then? It's
provisionally scheduled for the 23rd of Jan 2003 (venue allowing) and I'm
accepting lightning talks, twenty minute talks, and even fourty minute
talks/tutorials.
And yes, this *is* me trying to give speakers two months to write talks.
Mark.

However, that only works if the person has been nice enough to include
some documentation for a module

No documentation found for Template::Directive.
If they have though, You can use the -m option to view the source in your

Paul Mison: The One Where I Went To YAPC::NA And Wittered About It = 10 mins. Chris Ball: Magicpoint: A meta-presentation = 20 mins. Dave Cross: Idiomatic Perl (another extract) = 30 mins. Paul Mison: The One Where I Bore You To Death About Scribot = 10 mins. Pierre Denis: A Talk About Vx = 30 mins. This adds up to two hours of fun-packed Perl goodness. If anyone has any other talks to volunteer let me know, as I don't think we have tremendous time limits. If I've judged the amount of time your talk will last wrongly, let me know and I'll move things around. Sound okay to everyone? - Chris. I'm glat we can host the tech meeting in our offices. The nice thing is I won't get lost in London to find the meeting. We may have some network connections, not sure yet, sys admins are looking at it. I will only ask, please, not to bring the camel with you - the cleaner will not appreciate it. Otherwise: everybody else is welcome :-) Pierre Denis www.fotango.com
