Boston.pm will have a tech meeting on Tuesday, June 12, at MIT,
in building E51, room 372 (directions below), starting at 7:15pm.

(E51-372 is next to our usual room, E51-376, which was already booked.)

This will be our first meeting sponsored by CIDC!  Details below.


Uri Guttman will be giving a more in-depth presentation of CMS::Simple,
which he previewed at an earlier meeting.  CMS::Simple is, of course, a
simple (but effective) content-management system, which uses Uri's
Template::Simple module.  Uri is using CMS::Simple in two live projects.


I will contrast that with an overview of the more complicated
Template::Toolkit module.  I just started using TT at my new job, so this
will be along the lines of an introduction to the module, focusing on the
features I've been most impressed by so far.  If you've used TT, I hope
you'll chime in with your own favorite features.


I also have a fun surprise from the Internet.  (Think Linux Genuine
Advantage, only sillier!)


RSVP to me if you're planning to attend - rjk-bostonpm(at)tamias.net.
(Also, if you can bring a laptop with wireless connectivity, let me know.
I believe my laptop is still shut out of the MIT network.)


Pizza and soda for this meeting will be sponsored by Cambridge Interactive
Development Corp., who is looking to establish a connection with the Perl
community and hire more Perl developers.  They'll do a brief pitch about
the company and provide some handouts.  Thanks CIDC!

The Boston Linux and Unix user group also meets at E51, so you may find
their directions helpful as well (keeping in mind that we will be meeting
in room 372, not room 315):

Parking Information:

MIT's Amherst Street Lot is adjacent to the building:

Officially, a sticker is required to park in the lot.  However, we've been
told unofficially that there is no enforcement after 3pm weekdays, nor on
the weekends.  Chances are very slim that cars will be ticketed.
Nonetheless, parking in the lot is at your own risk.
