Wow, Nat, you are the man!!! Thanks a lot! I'm looking forward for all the
details about the length of the talks, that we have discussed before.

+ HTML::Emperl,
+ Template Toolkit,
+ one room will be completely occupied by Damian Conway. We have to
collect $110 grands to buy him out from the Perl track. YAS, has already
agreed to help with $55,000 that were collected so far. So only $55,000
are left to collect.
+multilingual sites with mod_perl and TT, (I think Eric Cholet will be the
speaker for that, since he has implmented it here at jazzvalley.com)
+ using mod_perl for the most successful money making model on the web ==
xxx sites, with an extensive demo.
+ All the usual beginners + performance stuff
+ latest slides from Doug's snowball experience. We are all interested to
know how our leaders spend their time when they are not coding mod_perl.
+ Geoff with hundreds of his cool modules that he has released and will
release till the conference, so we call it's Apache::Geoff
+ May be jwb to talk about database performance coding/ Apache::Session.
+ more to come.
BTW, if you have something to talk about that isn't really useful, but
very funny, you should propose it as well. Dave Cross' talk about
Sub::Approx at YAPC::Europe was the killer talk. Remember that learning
new things is nice, but having a few minutes of fun is even nicer :)

Yup, definitely!
