As for the other tracks, is there stuff I can help with there? How does that process work? I do Java, C++, .C#, Python, and can talk about network programming, GUIs, embedded stuff, web protocols, or a lot of related things. (Fair warning: I don't do enterprise Java, so my Java ends up much more compressed.) I could also likely get a guy here for a couple talks on Java, Forth, or K (the APL lang) for the cost of a plane ticket from MTU (where he teaches) to here. He'd be happy to stay at my place like he does every year anyway. -Tod Hansmann /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
