Hello everybody! I'm trying to organise a technical meeting for the 2012-08-14 in east London. I'm looking for a few speakers for 20 minute talks. It's the week before YAPC::Europe, so perhaps you might like to practice your YAPC::Europe talk? Could you email me offlist if you're interested? Cheers, Leon.

Bugger. Make it the 13th and I can attempt a 20 minute version of a 40 minute OSCON talk: "YARR! Plunderin' Programmin' Paradigms Fer Profit!" or "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Computer Scientists!"

It might be about unicode files on Windows, or (inspired by today) something NoSQL-y, or might be Something Else. But I have *weeks* to work on small details like the topic. I'll sort something out next week and let you know for definite. Gordon

Well, I have 2 talks, one that I've written and presented last week at the Hive London Meetup, but is not Perl related at all: http://www.slideshare.net/pfig/my-life-as-a-beekeeper and another one I've been mulling and considering writing to submit to LPW, but I'm afraid it wouldn't warrant me many friends in the L.pm community, it's titled "The problem with Perl" and is basically me ranting about the nice things in Java and Python that we (as in, myself until I started doing serious Java and Python, and some other L.pm'ers I've talked with) just tend to shrug off or don't even think about, or think they're bad but they're actually not bad at all. The problem with the first talk is that it's target audience are people who already know Hive, and with the second the fact that I value my physical integrity :) Cheers!

Sounds quite interesting TBH.

Quoting Pedro Figueiredo : and another one I've been mulling and considering writing to submit to LPW, but I'm afraid it wouldn't warrant me many friends in the L.pm community, it's titled "The problem with Perl" and is basically me ranting about the nice things in Java and Python that we (as in, myself until I started doing serious Java and Python, and some other L.pm'ers I've talked with) just tend to shrug off or don't even think about, or think they're bad but they're actually not bad at all. I think this one sounds really interesting. I'd love to hear it. Dave...

I'd love to hear it. I've been discussing a talk with Leon, tentatively entitled "Through The Looking Glass" - basically an account of what I found in the years I've been spending a lot of time with Java & JVM technology and communities. I could do either the technical or community aspects - both are IMO very interesting and provide, in many ways, very different perspectives (but also some surprising similarities). Ben

You do not want synchronized and "visibility semantics pretty close to the JMM" as your primary concurrency mechanism visible at the high-level language level, or where anyone short of a Damian-level hacker can easily get at it. Sure, that may well be what your virtual machine (or equivalent hardware abstraction layer) wants, but don't, for the love of Mike, expose it in the HLL. That's pretty much the biggest lesson learned in the last 15 years of implementation decisions in the JVM. Ben

Pedro, Please submit this to LPW this year, I think that this is just the type of talk i would love to have presented, there is a large part of our community that values learning about the aspects of other programming languages we don't understand, relate to, or perhaps know. A workshop is an -ideal- place for that. Look forward to seeing the submission, this Friday is the closing date :) Regards Mark -- Mark Keating BA (Hons), Writer, Photographer, Cat-Herder.

How about this as a suggestion: I focus on community, but also talk about broad-brush features of the language and platform which I believe have shaped the community. Then Pedro could focus on the technology in detail, and show code & stuff :) How does that sound? Pedro, would that work for you? Thanks, Ben
