If you want you, you might want to submit a Hackathon proposal for YAPC::Europe: http://vienna.yapceurope.org/ye2007/cfh.html We can provide sponsoring for travel and accommodation costs for up to 500 EUR. The deadline to submit a proposal is Sunday, 13th May. And if you want to tack on a day of hacking in Vienna before/after YAPC::Europe, I'm quite sure we can find a location with power plugs and WLAN. -- #!/usr/bin/perl http://domm.zsi.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}

Hackfest!
by Kake L Pugh 03 May '07

So, it seems people are keen on a hackfest. Dom's made a meetomatic page for people to register the dates they'd be able to make: http://www.meetomatic.com/respond.php?id=ECAL07 Current possible venues are Oxford and London. Any preferences? Any offers of hosting in other towns? The focus for this hackfest will probably be bug triage and bug closing. Apologies to non-UK people - but we should see if we can work out some way for you to "attend" via IRC. Kake

Hack Day (not ours, but maybe)
by Kake L Pugh 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hello! I've signed up for this: http://hackday.org/ Basically, it's a bunch of geeks getting together in Alexandra Palace on 16th-17th June, and making things. I thought it might be cool if there were OpenGuides people there. Dom, might you be able to make it? Anyone else? One of the organisers turned up on #london.pm the other day and said not to be put off by the thing about "considered for participation" and "reviewing applications for attendance" - apparently that's mostly to put off people who're not actually involved in building interesting things and just want to come for the free booze/networking/etc. Note that I don't know if there'll be space there to do anything directly OpenGuides-related, but it might be fun anyway. This also reminded me that I've been thinking for a while that it might be about time for another OpenGuides hackathon - anyone interested? Also: I learn from the interweb that Earle is going to Montreal to talk to Wikitravel people about RDF output and how we can make OpenGuides and Wikitravel talk to each other: http://evan.prodromou.name/Journal/4_Flor%c3%a9al_CCXV Is anyone else doing anything exciting at the moment? I hear rumour of a potential OpenGuides-related talk at YAPC::EU... Kake

by Daniel Packer 02 May '07

02 May '07

See ticket for details: http://dev.openguides.org/ticket/206 A patch has been submitted, but to release it we'll need to bump the Module::Build requirement to v0.26+ as this is when the API was updated, which my patch uses. -Daniel -- Daniel Packer, Principal X To Infinity, LLC 191 Chrystie St, Suite 3F New York, NY 10002 P 718.502.6519 / F 866.833.0673 Web, Code, Software, and Systems.

New OG dev personal introduction.
by Daniel Packer 01 May '07

01 May '07

Dear Kake and friends, I'm excited to be working with the OpenGuides source code for a new application I'm developing with Michael Heimbinder (see http://www.habitatmap.org). Thanks for the warm welcome, and as soon as I get my own environment up and running, you'll start to hear more from me. I think the team is fantastic and that's why I thought OG was a great choice. As for my background, I've been using Perl professionally for ten years with a focus on content management and database driven web applications, so I'm fairly comfortable with the technology being used. I'm also a system administrator. Through my company, X To Infinity, I work on a wide variety of projects by myself and with subcontractors, and I am working to emphasize socially progressive, not for profit, and grassroots work, as I find this work very rewarding and meaningful. For fun I bake vegan cookies, ride my bicycle all over the place, go jogging, play my guitar and sing badly, write articles for local papers, and volunteer. I may even try to make my own vegan/vegetarian resource with OpenGuides if I have the time. First things first though, I struggled with various installation issues yesterday, and my goal today is to get up and running and detail my installation woes/insights. Some topics that will likely come up in the near future relating to the habitatmap project are: extending access controls, single sign on (Open ID - LDAP - ?), performance benchmarking, cobranding the look and feel (so that one site can take on many different skins), spam/abuse control, forum integration, and google maps integration. -Daniel -- Daniel Packer, Principal X To Infinity, LLC 191 Chrystie St, Suite 3F New York, NY 10002 P 718.502.6519 / F 866.833.0673 Web, Code, Software, and Systems.
