On Tuesday 15 February 2011, NYLUG HackFest will meet and discuss LaTex. The same evening, at NY Perl Mongers, Nick Patch will present Operator::Util. And the same evening Puppet NYC will meet.
So there are three different meetings on Tuesday 15 February 2011. On Wednesday 16 February 2011, NYLUG will meet. Daniel Grippi and Raphael Sofaer will speak on Diaspora, a weapon in the fight against Englobulation of the Net. On Thursday 17 February 2011, at the UNIGROUP meeting, Billy Garcia, Tariq Khan, and John Kuhr will speak on HP Unix and HP hardware. Below are the five official announcements of these five meetings. A line of asterisks separates each announcement from the next. The first four announcements are whole, but the last, the UNIGROUP announcement, is truncated, so I recommend going to the UNIGROUP home page: http://www.unigroup.org Note that there is a fee to attend the UNIGROUP meeting. Some of these meetings ask that you send notification in advance if you wish to attend. That is, an "rsvp" is requested.

NYPC User Group office 481 8th Ave Ramada New Yorker, Suite 550 btw. West 34 & 35 Sts, Manhattan Presentation: Operator::Util by Nick Patch "..a new Perl 5 module that provides a selection of functions that take operators as arguments, based on the functionality of many of Perl 6's meta-operators. Some of the functions include reducewith, which reduces a list using the operation of the passed operator; crosswith, which applies an operator across all groupings of its list arguments; as well as zipwith, hyperwith, and others." Bonus: News Desk This meeting we are also scheduling a number of mini news presentations (1-5mins, with or without slides) for Perl projects that people are involved in or happen to keep up on the news and gossip for via mailing lists / blog posts / IRC etc. The goal is to showcase some of the recent exciting developments in the Perl world and give people another low-barrier option for doing presentations. We currently have 4 people lined up, and we're looking for more volunteers (for this or future meetings). If you're interested in adopting a project and becoming NY Perl Seminar's foreign correspondent, please let me know.

Instead of making a Field Trip over to HP, HP is instead coming to Unigroup @ The Cooper Union. We will still treat this meeting in the spirit of the Unigroup Field Trip, meaning that the vendor will be presenting topics in a vendor-specific and product-specific manner, rather than giving us a vendor-neutral technology talk. Our tentative next meeting schedule is: 17-MAR-2011: Open Source Cluster Parallel File Systems (Speaker: RAID Inc.) ------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: --------------------- To REGISTER for this event, please RSVP by using the Unigroup Registration Page: http://www.unigroup.org/unigroup-rsvp.html This will allow us to automate the registration process.

If you registered for this meeting, please check your Email for any last minute announcements as the meeting approaches. Also make sure any anti-spam white-lists are updated to _ALLOW_ Unigroup traffic! If you block Unigroup Emails, your address will be dropped from our mailing list. Also, if you have an interest in Unigroup, be sure to receive Unigroup information DIRECTLY from Unigroup, via direct receipt of Emails and by visiting the Unigroup Web Site. NO OTHER SOURCE provides timely, accurate and complete Unigroup information. Please RSVP as soon as possible, preferably at least 2-3 days prior to the meeting date, so we can plan the food order. RSVP deadline is usually the night before the meeting day. Note: RSVP is requested for this location to make sure the guard will let you into the building. RSVP also helps us to properly plan the meeting (food, drinks, handouts, seating, etc.) and speed up your sign-in at the meeting. If you forget to RSVP prior to the meeting day, you may still be able to show up and attend our meeting, however, we cannot guarantee what building security will do if you are "not on the list". ------------------------------------------------------------------- MAIN PRESENTATION ----------------- Topic: HP Unix and Hardware Briefing: (1) BCS Roadmap (Integrity i2, SD2, DL980) (2) HP/UX v3 Roadmap/Update (3) HP/UX Comparison to Oracle/Sun Solaris Introduction & Description of Talk: ----------------------------------- Three Technical Presentations.
