Advice for anyone who wants to put on a regional Linux show (video)

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT
The first Florida Linux Show, held in Jacksonville earlier this year, drew more than 300 people and made enough of a splash that its organizers plan to repeat the experience in 2009. Those organizers, Rod Sharp and Don Corbet, sat down with Linux.com to tell us about their experiences -- good and bad -- putting their show together, and offered advice for others who want to put on regional Linux conferences.

NAME
Wx::Perl::SplashFast - Fast splash screen for the Wx module. SYNOPSIS
use Wx::Perl::SplashFast ('/path/to/logo.jpg',3000); # timeout in milliseconds package myApp ; # subclass Wx::App ... package myFrame; # subclass Wx::Frame ... package main; my $myApp = myApp->new(); my $frame = myFrame->new(); $myApp->MainLoop(); DESCRIPTION
Using Wx::SplashScreen from Wx::App::OnInit may cause a high delay before the splash screen is shown on low end machines. This module works around this limitation; you just need to follow the example. USAGE
Just put the code inside the 'BEGIN {}' of your main app, like: sub BEGIN { use Wx::Perl::SplashFast ; Wx::Perl::SplashFast->new("./logo.jpg",5000); } or load the module before any other: use Wx::Perl::SplashFast ("./logo.jpg",5000) ; use Wx ; ... import ( IMG_FILE, SPLASH_TIMEOUT ) IMG_FILE Path of the image file to show. SPLASH_TIMEOUT Timeout of the splash screen in milliseconds. If you "use Wx::Perl::SplashFast './logo.jpg', 1000;" this has the same affetc as. BEGIN { require Wx::Perl::SplashFast; Wx::Perl::SplashFast->new( './logo.jpg', 1000 ); } new ( IMG_FILE , SPLASH_TIMEOUT ) Show the splash screen. IMG_FILE Path of the image file to show. SPLASH_TIMEOUT Timeout of the splash screen in milliseconds. EXAMPLE
use Wx::Perl::SplashFast ("./logo.jpg",5000) ; # Don't forget to put your own image in the same path. Duh package myApp ; use base 'Wx::App'; sub OnInit { return(@_[0]) ;} package myFrame ; use base 'Wx::Frame'; use Wx qw( wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE ); sub new { my $app = shift ; my( $frame ) = $app->SUPER::new( @_[0] , -1, 'wxPerl Test' , [0,0] , [400,300] ) ; return( $frame ) ; } package main ; use Wx ; my $myApp = myApp->new() ; print "window " ; my $win = myFrame->new() ; $win->Show(1) ; $myApp->SetTopWindow( $win ) ; $myApp->MainLoop(); SEE ALSO
