Hi,

Two things, to cover a few folks' comments:

The meeting will be in Boulder somewhere, not in Denver or the Tech Center.

We haven't had a meeting in a while, but some of us see each other from
time to time elsewhere, and I can say confidently that this is an eclectic
bunch of people.  Perl is the specific common ground here, but I daresay
people would be open to an interesting talk on about anything.  When we
have met in the past, topics have wandered all over the place.  No matter
what we talk about, Perl will worm its way into the meeting.  Hell, at
the Open Source conference, two of the keynotes were about bioinformatics
-- this to a bunch of Linux/Perl geeks.

Now, that's quite an opening, so fire away.

Here are some topics.  Anyone want to choose one?

What Does Microsoft Spend All That Money On?  (It Ain't QC)
Extreme Programming is the Way
Comprehensive Software Engineering Methodologies Kick Ass
How Not To Manage Software Projects
The End Is Coming
Why Procedural Programming Is For Dinosaurs
Why Object-Oriented Programming Is For Ivory Tower Pinheads
Perl 6 Is From the Devil
$YOUR_BEER Sucks -- $MY_BEER rules
What Is Wrong With $CLPMer Anyway?

Walter
