Nat's quite keen to attend and I've kinda offered to give Jo a hand sorting
out getting the new disk in Penderel, so it looks like we can transport
the projector ourselves.

DAMNIT, will you lot PLEASE stop organising tech meetings for days when
I can't make it!

I'm going to be in Twyford (that's outside the M25, to the west, oo-arr)
recovering from beer-and-punk induced illness.  It's going to be a weird
night.  Some punk, but with a poet and a folk-singer as well.  Hmmm.  Oh,
and I'll be going with a bunch of people who're into medieval battle
re-enactments.  They've promised not to take their broadswords and
pole-axes.

your projector for the day? ;-)

Hmm... I may come down, sounds interesting. I could possibly use some
people to bounce some ideas about YAPC talks off.

TPC talk practice / technical meet

2001-05-21 Thread Leon Brocard

Seeing as TPC slides for talks are supposed to be in at the end of the
month, I've got a quick technical meeting together. The idea is that
we'd practice our talks (make sure the timing / level is right etc.)
and get constructive criticism from people before handing them
in. YAPC talks also welcome.

When: Saturday 26th noon onwards
Place: state51 (thanks again guys)

I will present an hour-long "Instant Compilers" talk (I'll spare you
from another Graphing Perl talk ;-). It looks like Simon Wistow might
talk about Perl-Flash. Other speakers welcome!

Of course, you don't need to be talking to come - it'll be slightly
different from a normal technical meeting but interesting and
informative nevertheless.
