Well then. I have two volunteers -- Karl Glazebrook and Craig DeForest. If I get one more volunteer, we will have a quorum, and the podcast could be as early as the week after next. If you are volunteering, kindly send me a link to your bio (just a couple of lines please -- not a list of all the 200 papers you have published) so we can brag about it on the inscight web site. Anyone else, anyone? Seriously, if you can write PDL better than me, you are eligible to be a panelist. > > On 18/03/2011, at 10:03 PM, Mr. Puneet Kishor wrote: > >> >> On Mar 18, 2011, at 11:54 PM, Karl Glazebrook wrote: >> >>> maybe. what sort of topics? >> >> Well, the topic for the proposed podcast would be "Perl/PDL for scientific >> computing" (or whatever you, the panelists, fancy).
