Send-A-Newbie
The current state of play YAPC::EU::2010::Pisa is just a week or so away and I thought it would be time to talk about the send-a-newbie initiative once again. (If you are unfamiliar with send-a-newbie visit the website at send-a-newbie.enlightenedperl.org) As I spoke about previously this initiative was organised last year by Edmund von der Burg [...]
The point of a non-fugly site…
My Ironman Status This week I was going to talk a bit more about branding since I am at Disney in Florida with my (Disney-obsessed) wife again…but instead I thought I’d wade an oar (love those mixed-metaphors) into something else… I had to respond as well… Groditi made an interesting post in response to SawyerX [...]
Ironboy is coming soon
My Ironman Status For those of you who have been keeping up-to-date with things we are working on a new version of the Ironman feed which will be called all.things.per.ly and is currently being developed as Ironboy by the members of northwestengland.pm and their associated friends who hang out on irc.perl.org in the #northwestengland.pm. channel. [...]
A Mat to put Beer on (as opposed to the Matt you put beer in)
My Ironman Status Having a certain swagger… By now I hope most of you have been following Gabor Szabo‘s and Renée Bäcker’s efforts to get Perl promoted at non-Perl conferences (see events on the TPF wiki here) and like me are in support. Their efforts are supported by The Perl Foundation, the YAPC Europe Foundation [...]
Send-A-Newbie
My Ironman Status What is it? It’s it… The Send a Newbie program is designed to introduce new people to YAPC’s by collecting sponsorship from supporting companies. It was successfully run by Edmund von der Burg last year, but due to other circumstances Edmund has decided to pass the reins on this year and asked [...]
The terrible things (1): A Giant Perl Daisy Chain
My Ironman Status This is the first article based upon my Keynote that I presented this year and is part of a series of articles on the Terrible Things We All Must Do. Meanwhile… While I was writing this article I was also checking the web and eagerly awaiting the keynote from Apple and their [...]
Oasis Perl Workshop
My Ironman Status Fun – fun – fun in the sun – sun – sun Last Saturday was the Perl Oasis conference in Orlando Florida arranged, orchestrated and conducted by the Orlando Perl Mongers in the fleshy guise of Chris and Jamie (notice how those two names could be used by either of them?). The [...]
Perl Oasis
My Ironman Status A superband that will not split…. SO it is just a few short days, nerve-bitingly it is less than 3 days, to the wonderful Perl Oasis held in the – hopefully – sunny city of Orlando in Florida. I am biting my nails because I rather foolishly jumped into the fray and [...]
Perl Oasis is coming…
My Ironman Status This week I am blogging from a line at Paris, Disney. Actually right now I am back in my room and typing this to you but I was in a line when I made notes about this. Why am I in Paris and why Disney? Well the Paris is easy, it is [...]
