Date: Wednesday 26th March 2008

Venue: The Victoria, 48 John Bright Street, Birmingham, B1
1BN.
Details: http://birmingham.pm.org/cgi-bin/brum.pl?act=tech-next
Intro:
We're fortunate enough to have another special guest night
this month,
with Andy Robinson coming along to talk about Open Street
Map, the open
mapping intiative that is growing at a phenonmenal rate.
Following will
be JJ, who is going to give us a run down of the recent
Microsoft
Scripting Games, where a number of Perl programmers,
including himself,
submitted entries for Perl.
As per usual we'll be at The Victoria. The pub is on the
corner of John
Bright Street and Beak Street, between the old entrance to
the Alexandra
Theatre and the backstage entrance. If in doubt, the main
entrance to
the Theatre is on the inner ring road, near the Pagoda
roundabout. The
pub is on the road immediately behind the main entrance.
See the map link on the website if you're stuck.
As always entry is free, with no knowledge of Perl required.
We'd be
delighted to have you along, so feel free to invite family,
friends and
colleagues ;)
We'll be in the venue from about 6.30pm, although as we
don't get access
to the room upstairs until 7.30pm, we'll be eating
downstairs and moving
up later, with talks planned to begin about 8pm. As there
are only 2
talks, we'll head down to the main bar for more discussion
afterwards.
Talks:
* Community Meets Cartography [Andy Robinson]
* Perl at The MS Scripting Games [Jon Allen]
Venue:
The Victoria, 48 John Bright Street, Birmingham, B1 1BN
