Hello,
This is a call for participation for the November tech meet on Thursday
November the 21st.
Lightening talks are easy to give...you're only on stage for five to seven
minutes, and they're over almost as soon as they've started. This is a
great chance for people (especially people who've never given a talk
before) to talk about any old thing that they've been doing with Perl
without needing to get too indepth.
In case you're sitting there thinking "I'd be great at giving a talk, but
I've got nothing to talk about" then I've got a list of technical topics
that you can pick from (though it'd probably be easier for you to do a
case study from your work)...for example "The difference between my,
local, and our", "The core file modules", "die, eval, and exception
handling", "the pack operator", etc, etc. Or just pick any random module
off of CPAN and give a five minute introduction to it.
And you've got a lot of time to prepare these talks. Mark's handy
date-chart-o-matic gives:

So far I've got nine volunteers[1]. I'm looking for about fifteen
presentations (giving us time for about two hours of talks, including
faffage.)
Drop me a line if you're considering giving a talk and I'll let you know
more details.
Mark.
[1] Though I do remember someone else volunteering to talk about something
else at the social meet, though I didn't write it down. If you
volunteered to talk and I haven't sent you a personal mail about it,
please mail me.
