June 11th 2005 GLLUG Final Announcement
Is out and hitting mailing lists now. You can find the full details on this
very site at the Unixdaemon GLLUG June
2005 page.
Organising this meeting has been quite strange, the speakers roster has changed almost completely from my original plan, the dates moved and, because of the summer, a lot of my usual routes of publicity have either cut back or gone off on holiday. I'm actually very proud of the talks we have and the quality of the speakers that have freely given up their Saturday to come and talk so it's a shame were not getting full exposure. This is the strongest line-up GLLUG's had in quite a while so I'm curious as to how many people turn up.
One of the things that always amazes me when I'm involved in something like this (or one of the short one-off events different groups occasionally do) is how friendly, flexible and willing to help almost everyone I contact is; the very worst response I've had back is a list of dates the speaker could do and a request for travel expenses to be covered! I consider myself very lucky to be able to participate in a community like this and I'd like to take this opportunity to say thanks to each and every person who's been involved. For not hitting me when I got annoying with date changes, prodding for talk details or any of those other emails I've sent I say thank you and it is appreciated by each and every person who sees the talk, hears the recording or reads the slides.

Blosxom Plugin -- raa_tag
Following on from my cpan_module_tag
and some comments from one of my victims/testers I've put a version
together that translates tag shortcuts to Ruby Application Archive project
links. It's called raa_tag,
it's on my Blosxom Plugins
page and it's GPL'd.

SVK Talk added to June 2005 GLLUG!
I'm happy to announce the addition of a talk on SVK by its author, Chia-liang Kao,
at the June 2005 GLLUG. He's graciously volunteered some of his time to
take us through the headaches of version control, how SVK removes a number
of them and, and this is my favourite bit, how to use it for distributed
/etc versioning without any version control artifacts getting spread
across the file system. I've heard a couple of people make very positive
comments about CLK's previous presentations so this should be good!

Blosxom Plugin -- cpan_module_tag
This blog is powered by Blosxom and while it is more than adequate for most of my
needs, occasionally I feel the need to add some code to make something a
little more "Dean" orientated. I've put the first one of my "ready for
public consumption" Blosxom Plugins up on my Blosxom Plugins
page. It's called cpan_module_tag.
cpan_module_tag allows you to link to CPAN modules in your blog posts without performing the tedious steps of looking up the module, getting the URL, putting it in an <a href=""> etc. It adds a couple of tags that you use to specify the module to link to. It's free, GPL'd and hopefully of some use.
