Hey folks!
At next week’s meeting Chris will show off the ConTeXt code that he uses to build his resume. ConTeXt is a typesetting language similar to LaTeX.
Why would anybody build their resume using TeX, you ask? Come on to the meeting to find out!

Hey folks:
I haven’t had time to pull anything together for tonight’s meeting, so unfortunately I’m going to have to cancel it.
Please remember that you can suggest meeting topics here, on the mailing list, or on Twitter. It would be really nice to have somebody suggest something for our next meeting on November 3.
Have a good evening, and I’ll see you in two weeks!
~Chris
Hey folks!
Next week Sean will be talking about code size as a metric for code quality. Come on out; it should be a great time!
As always we’ll get started at ThreeFortyNine around 6:30 and head over to the Wooly afterwards.
Update: I’m going to have to cancel tonight’s meeting due to illness.
Since September has five Thursdays we’re off for two weeks, but we’ll be back on October 6. Anybody who is interested in demoing should either contact me directly or get in touch via the mailing list.

Hey folks!
This week we will be looking at Perl 6, a language that has been in development for over ten years. I’d welcome input on other in-development or recently released languages or version updates like C++0x or Python 3.
As usual, we’ll be at ThreeFortyNine from 6:00 to 9:00 and head to the Wooly afterwards.
Please remember: If you want to present something, or if there is something that you’d like to see, send it to our mailing list!
It’s party time!
I thought it would be fun to hang out and barbecue next week instead of having a regular meeting. I’ll provide burgers (meat or veggie) for anybody that wants one, and the kind folks at ThreeFortyNine have offered to share their keg with us. I welcome contributions of salads or snacks 
.
If you’re planning to come, please get in touch with me by Tuesday, August 30 so I can buy enough burgers.
I would also ask everybody who plans to drink beer from the keg to bring some money that can be contributed back to the ThreeFortyNine beer fund.
Date and time: Thursday, September 1, 6:00–whenever
Location: ThreeFortyNine
Our topic for Thursday’s meeting will be ebooks and ebook readers.
Karl will be talking about his Kindle as well as some third-party applications for it.
Please feel free to bring your ebook reader and show it off!
Yes, we are meeting tonight!
We don’t really have anybody lined up to present, so I thought we could talk about text editors. Emacs? Vim? TextMate? Notepad++? What’s your favourite? Why?
I’ll be talking about Emacs (and possibly vi), but I’d love to hear from the rest of you.
As usual, we will probably head up to the Wooly afterwards.
Dan will be bringing a ChromeOS box to play with. He’ll also have a flash drive that you can use to live boot your own machine. Consider bringing your own laptop/netbook and maybe a blank flash drive.
Come to ThreeFortyNine between 6:00 and 9:00 to try it out! As usual, we’ll probably be heading over the the Woolwich Arrow afterwards.
On Thursday, Chris will be doing a workshop on Git and GitHub.
Come on out if you are interested in distributed version control!
As usual we are running at ThreeFortyNine from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., with the workshop starting around 6:30. We will be heading to the Woolwich Arrow afterwards.
Hey folks! Our next meeting will be at ThreeFortyNine on June 16 from 6:00 to 9:00. That’s this Thursday! This will be a Microsoft-centric meeting.
Ruth Morton, a Microsoft Evangelist, will be dropping by to talk about all things Microsoft.
We may also have a short talk on getting started with .NET.
As usual, we will head over to the Woolwich Arrow afterwards.
This should be a great meeting, so come and check it out!
