About 20 people attended the tech meeting at Boston.com last night. Jesse Vincent presented RT, his enterprise-grade ticketing system built in Perl. He gave an overview of the system, showed it in use at rt.cpan.org, and discussed issues including module dependencies, managing a large project, and dealing with spam to the mail gateway.
For more on RT, go to http://www.fsck.com/projects/rt/ I presented a JAPH of mine that animates letters swapping around until they form the usual phrase. Tip: if your script produces no output, check the line endings. ;) You can see the JAPH on PerlMonks at http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=77154 Thanks to everyone who attended, and to Boston.com for hosting. Next month's meeting will be on a Monday or Wednesday, to accomodate people who haven't been able to come to the Tuesday meetings. If you would like to give a presentation at next month's meeting, or a future meeting, let me know. That includes the big presentations and the short ones such as the obfuscations. Ronald
