Hello All.

The Perl Foundation are (hopefully) participating as a mentor 
organization in GSoC 2014!


Student applications may be submitted starting March 10th and are due 
by March 21st, but students should start getting involved with their 
communities and the TPF Summer of Code Students mailing list: 
(https://groups.google.com/group/tpf-gsoc-students) and start thinking 
about project ideas now.


You can see a list of project ideas and add any organisation ideas 
here: http://wiki.enlightenedperl.org/gsoc2014/ideas - currently blank 
so we need action on this fast - please add your ideas as soon as you 
can (and that means today if possible).


Mentors and community organizers: please join the admin list at:

tpf-g...@googlegroups.com - https://groups.google.com/group/tpf-gsoc

and help get the word out to students using whatever means you can.

If you have questions, please join us in #soc-help on irc.perl.org.

The time is now, please spread the news as far as you can.

[Dbix-class] London Perl Workshop 2011 (UKPW): Industrial Strength Perl (#1)

2011-07-26 Thread Mark Keating
 Systems
Sponsors Mark Keating (Organisation), Evening Sponsorship (Beer and Food)
Without Shadowcat I would not have the time and funds to manage the 
organisational task that is the LPW, they are my constant guide to 
support, promote and aid me if anything goes awry and they love the 
community (we really do, PIMC).
Shadowcat Systems is a developer, sponsor of, and contributor to open 
source software projects including Catalyst, the elegant web framework, 
and DBIx::Class, an object-orientated database abstraction library. 
Shadowcat provides consultancy, training and support for these projects; 
systems management and automation; the design and implementation of 
network architecture; the development of proprietary and open source 
custom web applications; and offers Perl refactoring and project crisis 
management.
Shadowcat Systems are based in the United Kingdom but we deliver 
solutions to a global community of clients via onsite supervision along 
with traditional and internet based communications.


SureVOIP
Room 1 (With UK2)
SureVoip are a business focused VOIP service with a strong dedication to 
providing Open Telecoms for Business. This is the first time they have 
sponsored the LPW directly though they were involved with us last year 
and we welcome them as they sponsor room 1 with UK2.


UK2.Net
Room 1 (with SureVoip), Training Room, Evening Sponsorship (Beer and Food)
Another new sponsor to the London Perl Workshop this year is UK2.net, 
and like Moonfruit they decided to give us a generous fund to start 
their association with our event. Sponsoring the training room, a room 
with SureVoip and contributing funds towards the evenings food and drink 
(which I believe will now match the wonderful event we had last year). 
It is great to welcome them on board for this year.
UK2.net likes Perl, our entire platform is based on it, helping us to 
service hundreds of thousands of customers enjoying some of the best 
pricing for domains, web hosting and dedicated servers out there. We've 
been one of the largest players in the industry since 1998 and we've 
just launched a new VPS service allowing you to buy resources and launch 
as many smaller VPS as you wish on our cloud. These have auto failover, 
root access, an external console and loads more goodies for just £8.95 a 
month. No need to tell you this is ideal for dev environments where you 
need to kill and redeploy your server in an instant. The platform even 
allows you to create your own virtual machine templates or choose from 
one of our instantly deployable stacks. Not bad for less than a tenner.


University of Westminster
Hosts, Sean Tohill (Organisation)
It is a complex and evolutionary time for UK Universities and one in 
which the boundaries of their operational existence must change. it is 
unfortunate that this means we have to find more sponsorship to cover 
room costs (though this was benefited by us attracting some awesome 
sponsors), however we were still given a generous discount.
Then there is Sean who has supported us for many years and gives his 
time and effort into securing appropriate dates, rooms and running as an 
interface buffer between us and the university. Again, for me Sean is a 
staple part of the LPW buffet and one that I look forward to each year. 
This year will be no different I am sure.


That is all for this inaugural newsletter, more information can be found 
on the conference website and you will be kept up to date in future 
newsletters.


Regards

Re: [Dbix-class] Call mysql stored procedure using Arbitrary SQL through a custom ResultSource

2009-10-19 Thread Mark Keating

Hi all on the Dbic list.

The next technical meeting of North West England Perl Mongers will be  
held at the MEN offices in Manchester on the 28th October. We will be  
gifted with a talk by Jess Robinson on Docs and then Jess, Matt Trout  
and Kieren (three of the authors of the latest Catalyst book) will be  
answering questions live on stage. Kieren is in Australia so will be  
joining us via conference link-ups and we hope to stream the whole  
event to the internet/or record and put the video up afterwards.


If you can attend via real person/web link that would be great, if not  
please email questions to us (in fact this is the wisest course of  
action) and we will ask the authors on the night. Questions can be  
sent to:


m(dot)keating(at)shadowcat.co.uk

Hope to see you there, more information can be found here:

The following message should have been sent with the above subject
