Meeting: March 21, 2002, Planet Sub 50th and Main, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
David Nicol will be happy to discuss the architecture and purpose behind
TERN, his proposed alternative to perl six;
we could use one or more
volunteers to help with the pay2send project, which is stagnating
in the realm of procrastination, if anyone wants to do some
significant work for free or for shares against future proceeds.
This is pretty much designed but stalled in terms of focus, and could
use someone to take it over or at least babysit the developer while
they develop it one night a week or something.
there are books to distribute
for review;
general complaining and support regarding
confused and unresponsive management
general complaining and support regarding
confusing and obfuscated language syntax
Beer is available at Planet Sub; as well as their big, healthy
sandwiches.

has links to maps
to get you to 50th and Main if you don't know where that is,
I have reserved the meeting room from seven PM on.
Beginners, please bring print-outs of code you are having trouble
with, and we will go through them line-by-line and try to determine
what is going on.
There are electrical sockets available for plugging in the laptops,
and it is possible (but not confirmed) that the place might
be within the footprint of the UMKC Twin Oaks wireless network.
Anyone want to work towards the direction of setting up a formal
public wireless net such as exist in London and Portland? That's
really more a LUG kind of issue rather than a PM one;
The meeting will be open and informal as possible, in the manner
of undergraduate student organizations.
After pay2send gets running the organization will be providing
the beer -- but not just yet.
