----- Forwarded message from Andy Lester <andy@petdance.com> ----- To: pm_groups@pm.org From: Andy Lester <andy@petdance.com> Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 12:47:43 -0500 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.752.2) Subject: [pm_groups] Hackathon Chicago Howdy to all Perl Mongers. I've just announced the Chicago Hackathon. If y'all would be so kind as to forward to your groups, I'd appreciate it. I've gotten the word out to groups I'm aware of that are local to Chicago, but I know there are plenty of others that might be interested. I'm trying to spin this as a grass-roots PM-type of get-together. Low-key, local, but very valuable. I'd love to have as many other PM groups represented as possible. So far, we have folks from: Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids, Michigan; Toronto; LA; as well as Illinois and Wisconsin "locals". Thanks! xoxo, Andy The Chicago Perl Mongers and The Perl Foundation are proud to announce the Fall 2006 Chicago Hackathon, the weekend of November 10-12, 2006 in suburban Crystal Lake, IL. It will be a round-the- clock weekend of programming on Perl-related projects with your colleagues in the open source community. Dozens of programmers from the open source community in the midwest, as well as others from around the US, will be getting together to share ideas, work on code, and move their Perl-related projects forward. The participants set the agenda for what we'll be working on, but Perl 6 and Parrot are already on the roster of projects. Chip Salzenberg, pumpking for the Parrot project, will be on hand to help with Parrot and Perl 6. Andy Lester will also be driving some Parrot maintenance tasks, and other midwest programmers will be working on their own projects. There's sure to be something interesting for everyone! Participation in the hackathon costs nothing. The Perl Foundation is even providing hotel rooms at a special rate if you want to spend the night. Even if you're in the area for just an hour, stop by, grab a snack or some pizza and talk with other people interested in Perl. You might contribute more than you think just by talking with other programmers. To find out more, visit http://hackathon.info. If you'll be attending, please sign in on the Attendees wiki page, and/or email rsvp@hackathon.info.
