February 10th: Venture Fridays

On 5:18 PM 0 comments

Venture Fridays is a simple but fun concept: The startup culture of Kansas City and surrounding areas is invited to gather at our private office lounge to discuss what we’re all thinking about, working on, needing help with, and might do for each other. Existing or aspiring entrepreneurs of all types and ages are invited. Let’s raise our glasses to building the entrepreneurial culture beyond ourselves.
Doors are open on Rainbow Boulevard (Westwood, Kan.) 4 to 6 p.m. on the 2nd Friday of every month. Who are your hosts? We’re a web marketing metacompany, still whiffing the baby powder of our start in 2009. We work hard, and we play hard. Sometimes Venture Fridays will be co-located with other events, sometimes not. Either way, we’ll be here drinking and thinking. Will you? Drop in.
No soliciting or mooching please (entrepreneurial mojo required; read more in Discussions).

February 7th: KC Perl Mongers

On 3:14 PM 0 comments

Hi Perl Mongers -

Since we're working around Valentine's Day this year, our February meeting will be one week early on Tuesday, February 7. As usual, we'll meet at 7pm at Barley's in Shawnee. I'll grab a couple of high-top tables in the back room by the pool tables.

In the past few meetings, we've learned some great stuff from each other about managing builds, maintaining local module collections, and deploying code. It's been a pretty good roundup of many of the common practices of setting up a perl development environment.

I'm hoping we can trade some information and tips about the front-end of web development. So, if you have a favorite jQuery plugin or slick way to serve up JSON from your catalyst application, get ready to share it.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all one week early on Tuesday the 7th at 7pm at Barley's in Shawnee. It's helpful to let me know if you're planning on attending so that I can make sure I stake out enough chairs.
