The San Francisco Perl Users' Group
Perlmongers Dinner
We'll be having a group dinner for the August meeting, and have
a few drinks after for those interested. This will mostly
be a planning meeting for future meetings, but all are welcome
for Perl discussion and agreat food."Naan-N-Curry" at 336 O'Farrell Street, between Mason and Taylor.

This place has moved around a few times, and has many satellite
locations now, so look at that address carefully. This is across the
street from the Hilton, and next to the entrance to a large parking
garage.From the Powell Street Bart station: walk two blocks north along Powell,
and 1.5 blocks west. Don't try to walk up Mason or Taylor, unless
you're in an adventurous mood.The food is inexpensive, high quality Indian food. They have a buffet
these days, which makes things simpler. Free chai. The dining room
is double-sized, with large tables: there's no need to worry too much
about RSVPs.http://naancurry.com/branches.php?brn=5
This place used to be 24 hours, but I guess they've scaled back to
11:00 AM to 4:00 AM. But I don't think we'll need to rush out of
there.

Rakudo Star Install Party
Hi Mongers,I'd like to offer my place in Bernal Heights Tuesday next week from 7:30pm until whenever for a Raduko Star installation & Perl 6 lightning talks. As some of you know a significant milestone in Perl 6's release history is coming up this Thursday, http://rakudo.org/node/73 and what better way to get through an install than with local PM'ers!
For those that haven't been chez moi we have a basement, bar, projector, wifi, yard, BBQ, etc so we can eat, drink & give presentations. There's space for at least a dozen seated inside, and more outside (for those that can withstand the Day Star).
Who's interested in something like this? How about giving a talk?
Doesn't need powerpoint but we have a screen & sound if you do.
Anything at all raduko/perl6 related seems cool. Ping me off-list and I'll collate.Summary:
What: Rakudo Star Install Party
When: Tuesday 3rd August 2010, 19:30 'til (e.g.) 22:00
Where: Paul's place, SF, 94110 (address on RSVP)
What to bring: computer, snacks & drinks (although I'll seed unless someone wants to sponsor it?!). We could even BBQ!Bonus feature: there's a ton of interesting links in bite-sized chunks at http://twitter.com/rakudoperl

Perl-Critic in Depth
Jeff Thalhammer will be back to speak about Perl-Critic again on July 27nd at 7pm, at the office of LookSmart.As any Perl developer will tell you, There's More Than One Way To Do It. But over time, we all learn that Some Ways Are Better Than Others.
Perl-Critic is a static source code analyzer based on Damian Conway's book Perl Best Practices. In this presentation, you'll learn how to use Perl-Critic to improve the quality and maintainability of your code. We'll cover the perlcritic command-line tool and the Test::Perl::Critic module, as well as tips for policy selection and incorporating Perl-Critic into your development culture. We'll also demonstrate how to extend Perl-Critic with your own custom policies.

Hudson for Everybody Else
Joe McMahon will be talking about Hudson on June 22nd at 7pm, at the office of Mother Jones."Continuous integration" sounds like a great idea: you automatically run your build on every checkin, so you know very soon after you've committed if you make a mistake or checked in a bug. However, like any
properly lazy Perl programmer, the last thing you want to do is write more code; you want to take advantage of work that's already done: that's Hudson.Hudson is a continuous integration server that's easy to set up, customize, and use. Unlike other similar Java-based tools, Hudson is language-agnostic, even well-integrated with other tools.For Perl
projects, with a little assistance from CPAN, it's easy to set up and use for Perl projects. We'll look at a sample setup that covers most of the bases, including a few pointers on making it easy to build and track things
under Hudson, and finish up with a look at using Hudson to get your team involved - even enjoying - continuous integration.Announcement posted via App::PM::Announce
