NYC LOCAL: Week Starting Monday 14 February 2011: Four Free Software Meetings, and a Meeting on HP Unix |
|
Date: |
14 Feb 2011 12:12:11 -0500 |
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.

Subject: Perl Seminar NY Tuesday Night
Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2011 20:40:39 -0500
The February NY Perl Seminar meeting is less than two days away:
Tuesday February 15 2011, 6:15 pm.
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.
Projects Covered
* p5p (Perl 5 development) - David Golden (TBC)
* Padre (The Perl IDE) - Patrick Donelan
* Plat_Forms 2011 contest - Eric Garrido

Subject: Tuesday Feb 15th 6:30PM PuppetNYC meeting - Come share your
experience using puppet
To: puppet-nyc@googlegroups.com
Are you an active user of puppet[1] living in NY/NJ/CT and looking
forward to share your experiences? (Or want to be?)
Please join us next Tuesday, February 15th at Gilt Groupe in Midtown
Manhattan for PuppetNYC's first 2011 meeting. =A0RSVP required:
http://puppetnyc.eventbrite.com
This will be an informal and interactive discussion, where attendees
are invited to talk to the group about how they are using puppet (for
instance: what kind of resources are being managed, challenges that
you have seen while deploying puppet, tricks/tips, rants). We're
envisioning 5-20 minutes per person, but nothing is set in stone.
As we haven't met in a while, and because people's interests change
over time, we'd also like hear what people envision for this group.
If you are interested in giving a presentation on an intermediate to
advanced topic for this or future meetings, please stop by our mailing
list and let us know: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-nyc
After the meeting (8:30 PM or so), we plan to adjourn to Rattle-N-Hum
(14 East 33rd Street) for some relaxing, socializing and bonding.
As mentioned earlier we do have have an existing mailing list, where
we discuss planning meetings and puppet. Please do subscribe, as it is

INTRODUCTION:
-------------
Unigroup is pleased to announce our February 2011 meeting on
HP Unix and Hardware Briefing. 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.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
