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...

 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.

No surely you are giving them six weeks notice of the fact they have two
weeks to write the talk!

Having talked to Mark I've now booked Yahoo! Europe's (located next to
Victoria Coach Station) board room which comes with a overhead
projector. I can provide Mac and Windows machines pre connected if
necessary.

The board room has a very funky glass wall that turns opaque at the
touch of a button for that geek attraction factor.

I may also be able to persuade somebody here to talk about how Perl is
used at Yahoo! (a lot ...  3 million lines not including the little
scripts everybody has lying around)

Tech meet followup

2002-05-18 Thread Mark Fowler

Since no-one else seems to have pointed it out (I could have missed 
that post)...

Dave Cross and Leon both wrote journals about the meeting.  These can be 
found at:

 * http://use.perl.org/~davorg/journal/4992
 * http://use.perl.org/~acme/journal/5000

Coo! use.perl.org has had over 5000 journal entries.  Nifty.
