Ricardo Signes is the current project manager for Perl 5, a maintainer of the CPAN toolchain, part of the Moose development team, and a frequent contributor of other free code to the CPAN. He likes to talk about code almost as much as he likes to write it. He lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and works at Pobox.com, where he spends his days trying to cope with the horrors of email. In the spirit of a highlight reel, we will replay the recording of Ricardo's one-man-show of lightning talks to NY.pm, after which Ricardo will join us by tele-presense for *live Q&A*. *Boilerplate details:* - Tech Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at MIT ( directions <http://boston-pm.wikispaces.com/MIT+Directions> ). - Talk begins at 7:30. - Refreshments in the hallway prior. - RSVP for count encouraged but not required, to [email protected]<[email protected]> or Boston-PM list, by 3pm Tuesday. -- Bill Ricker [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
