I will be happy to discuss the architecture and purpose behind TERN, my proposed alternative to perl six; also we are accepting volunteers to help with the pay2send project, which is stagnating in the realm of procrastination; also there are books to distribute for review; also general complaining and support regarding confused and unresponsive management.
Beer is available at Planet Sub; as well as their big, healthy sandwiches. http://www.planetsub.com/kc.html has links to maps to get you to 50th and Main if you don't know where that is, and I have reserved the meeting room from seven PM on. Beginners, please bring print-outs of code you are having trouble with, and we will go through them line-by-line and try to determine what is going on. There are electrical sockets available for plugging in the laptops, and it is possible (but not confirmed) that the place might be within the footprint of the UMKC Twin Oaks wireless network. Anyone want to work towards the direction of setting up a formal public wireless net such as exist in London and Portland? That's really more a LUG kind of issue rather than a PM one; The meeting will be open and informal as possible, in the manner of undergraduate student organizations. After pay2send gets running the organization will be providing the beer -- but not just yet. The events page at http://kc.pm.org/events.htm has been updated, mostly by pasting in the text of this e-mail. -- David L Nicol, humble system administrator (816) 235 1187 Nucular fission gives off heat, which we use to boil water, which we use to make steam, to spin turbines, to generate electricity, so we can make toast.
