Randal Schwartz at Perl Mongers

This just in from the local Perl Mongers. If you don't know Randal Schwartz, pick up a copy of O'Reilly's "Learning Perl" See Randal's Wikipedia entry

Randal Schwartz (Merlyn) will be a special guest speaker for the 28 August 2008 Atlanta Perl Mongers meeting. He will be giving a talk titled "Perl Second-Best Practices" (synopsis below).

NOTE: You must RSVP to attend this event.

Details are on our web site:

Perl Second-Best Practices

So, you don't have time to read Damian Conway's "Perl Best Practices" book, to understand his "256 guidelines on the art of coding to help you write better Perl code"? Hear Randal Schwartz provide the executive summary, including pointing out where Randal disagrees with Damian, and why. This high-speed overview will help you understand "code layout, naming conventions, choice of data and control structures, program decomposition, interface design and implementation, modularity, object orientation, error handling, testing, and debugging". But using shorter words.

 

No September AUUG Meeting

Due to the first Monday in September being Labor Day, there won't be a July Atlanta Unix Users' Meeting this month. (Even though most folks should be back, albeit slightly sunburned by that evening). Have a safe and happy Labor Day.
 

Southeast LinuxFest

This arrived in my inbox today from a Jeremy Sands:


Hello!  I am a member of UCLUG (Upstate Carolina Linux Users Group), and we're in the process of organizing a Southeast LinuxFest.   We have in mind becoming what LinuxWorld was before it moved out west.

We would appreciate it if you would spread the word among your members.   We have an wiki setup up to help in the monumental task of getting such an event organized.  It is located here:

Thanks!

 

2009 Florida Linux Show

Summer's a slow time for news, so I was glad to get this in my in-box. Florida road-trip anyone?
 

Hi Brent,
 
Thanks so much for posting a notice last year on the Atlanta site.  A number of folks from Atlanta came to last years' show.  We were wondering if you could post a notice for the Florida Linux Show 2009 Jacksonville?  This year's Floridia Linux Show 2009 Jacksonville Is all business and we have both a Linux and Open Source  theme wrapped around Migration and integration.   This year's Conference & Exhibit will be held at the University of North Florida University Center, March 9th, 2009, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  We are hold a Florida Linux Show 2009 Orlando show.  The show location is just about to be locked down, however, this is a Linux Show that will concentrate on Linux & Open Source Software, but also Linux and Open Source Gaming software and hardware.  Further announcements to the Florida Linux Show 2009 Orlando will be forth coming in the next couple of weeks.  If any of your folks are planning a Disney vacation the Florida Linux Show 2009 Orlando show will be in October 2009.
 
Thanks Brent for all of your assistance in the past.
 
 
All the Best,
 
Rod Sharp, Director
