Discussion continues for the topic of the second talk, although
Quantum::Superpositions seems to be winning so far.[1]

Subject: [dcpm] Damian Conway in DC

As part of his world tour, Damian Conway will be visiting the DC area
next month.  Nat has graciously requested space at the AGU for an
additional meeting on Thursday, June 13th for Damian to present his
Perl6 Update (http://yetanother.org/damian/events/Perl6.html).

We've also arranged some space for Saturday Morning, June 15th at GWU.

Yes, you read that correctly: *two* presentations by Damian Conway in DC
in the same week.

The Thursday meeting will be at the usual time and place.  The Saturday
meeting will be from 10:30am to 1pm.  The topic for the Saturday
presentation is still undecided.  Damian recommends two of his more 
popular talks:

	Quantum::Superpositions
	SelfGOL (http://yetanother.org/damian/events/Extreme.html)

Both of these run to about 2 hours, leaving time for questions,
autographs, etc.  I've also asked Damian if he'd be interested in
presenting some of his papers from last year's Perl conference,
particularly the one on Object Oriented Perl and Delegation; he's
happy to do it, but the talks listed above tend to be a lot more fun,
especially on a Saturday morning.  :-)

Please cast your votes to the list, and I'll forward the result to
Damian.

Z.

1.  Z -- I don't know if I get a vote, but if I do I'd vote for
    SelfGOL.  I've already seen the Q::S talk twice, and while it's
    excellent I doubt I'd schlep all the way down to DC to hear it a
    third time.
