Talks:

  • Monotone: Distributed Peer-To-Peer revision control system. A natural successor to CVS [Tony Cooper]
  • Developing Perl GUIs Using Glade and Gtk2 [Tony Cooper]

Details

This month we're featuring a special guest night with Tony Cooper coming along to give us two talks. The first looks at the VCS Monotone, and the second looks at creating GUI tools with Perl, Glade and Gtk2.

Once again we'll be at The Victoria this month. 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, and have booked The Boardroom for the night. Order food as you get there, and we'll aim to begin talks at about 8pm. I expect talks to finish about 9.30pm, with plenty of time for discussion and planning for meetups over the weekend in London.
