HI Lyle, > > I'll put together a quick talk on some of the big mistakes made/ lessons > I've learnt along the way. Should we say meet at 7, talks start at 7:30 > to give people a chance to arrive?
Sounds like a good idea. > > Which begs the next question... Who has the nicest Laptop? I'd rather > just bring a USB stick than us all turn up with Laptops. Maybe one of > the local Bath people have a Laptop with a nice big screen? > I'll try and bring my wife's mac along - I only have a tiny eeepc. > > Suggestions on presentation format? Plain old HTML? :-\ > PDF/OpenOffice/PowerPoint and HTML is fine too. Although I've always found HTML presentations a bit finicky (e.g., the Next Slide-> link can be tricky to click). Some lightning talks are also best without any slides[1]. > > Hoping a few of you will give this a go. I know from the Bristol meet I > left with an awful lot of questions in my head about the details of what > people were doing with Perl and how they were doing it. > > Me too. The last meeting was a real cocktail of ideas: massive apache children sucking RAM quicker than the Hadron Collider blackhole burping up Belgium - while all the stars of the IMDB are updating their own profiles. You need a physics database and lots of people cooperating to try and making sense of it! I'm sure the regulars at the Opa Bar in Bath will want to come and join us if they hear us talking about improving agility and having scrums first thing in the morning [2] ... haha ... it's all good fun! ;-) Nige [1] http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/07/30/lightningtalk.html [2] we covered all this and lots more at the first meeting
