So does anybody want to speak at YAPC this year on CGI::Application? The call for presentations deadline is Apr 10. We were pretty well represented last year with 40 minutes on C::A by Michael Peters, a short talk on CAF by me, and some coverage in Perrin's talk.
One crazy idea I had for this year was "8 short talks about CGI::Application". We would get 8 speakers to each give a C::A lightening talk. Each talk could be on some aspect of C::A or one of its plugins like MVC or templates or sessions, and together the talks could work as a single presentation and fit into a 40 minute timeslot. The talks could be reused too, so if someone wants to promote C::A within their local Perl mongers group, they could give all 8 talks as a series (one or two talks per meeting). That's just one idea - we could also go with fewer, longer talks. There have been a lot of developments in C::A-land over the past year so there's lots to talk about. The success of the plugin system led to an explosion of new plugins; we have the new auth system and the new dispatcher, and many new developments on the horizon: PAR support, a standard set of interfaces for inter-plugin communication, etc. It would also be interesting have a talk showing how C::A works on many levels: from a minimalist single-script application to a full, multi-module webapp framework. If there's something you've been working on but you're not sure if it will be ready in time for YAPC, I can assure you from experience that that an impending talk can be a powerful motivator! :) Michael --- Michael Graham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/cgiapp@lists.erlbaum.net/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
