My Ironman Status
Welcome ye one and all to a chance in a lifetime, well an almost chance in a lifetime, especially if you do not know the authors of the Catalyst book, or have only heard about either them, the book, or Perl, or are just curious, or have been living in a tree somewhere, or chanced across this blog, or are one of my many spammers, or are someone who wishes I would stop using or as it is unnecessary, you might be an oar…wow, that was quick I lost my thread in the first paragraph again…
Step back. Take deep breaths. Remove the lighted blue touch paper from head.
On Wednesdasy 28th October 2009 the North West England Perl Mongers group will be holding a technical meeting in Manchester at the MEN Offices. The focus of this meeting will be Writing Documents and then a live web link-up with KD (Kieren Diment) in Australia and MST (Matt S. Trout), Castaway (Jess Robinson) in England, three of the authors of the Definitive Guide to Catalyst book who will be available for questioning.
Even more fun ensues, and the possibility of failure, as we will be trying to do a live web-cast of the event so that others can watch the proceedings over t’internet (something has to go pop here, I know it, two time zones and three different pieces of tech – meh, we’re all techies we don’t need help in screwing this up :) ).
So, I invite one-and-all to send me some questions in advance of the event. I will also be trying to use a Twitter Feed (more tech to fail) and possibly Facebook/IRC at the same time. But pre-sent questions will go first. If we fail at the tech we have fall over situations.
Failure to web-cast – we simply put up the video afterwards.
Failure to link to KD – we still have MST and Castaway
Whatever the outcome we should be able to quiz these guys so you in the Perlverse/Tech-World need to get us your questions so that we can do that.
Either use the comments form on this blog or email Mark Keating at:

Thanks :)

How do we participate in the web cast, who are unable to physically be at your meeting, because we are thousands of miles away?

Hey there.
As mentioned in the article we are hoping to run a live irc channel on irc.perl.org as well as Facebook/Twitter so that questions can be asked live. But, as always, we should consider that there may be technical errors, so please send questions in advance so that at the very least we can post the video afterwards with your questions answered :) I will post more details as they are confirmed.
