From rdice at pobox.com Mon Jun 2 09:09:44 2008 From: rdice at pobox.com (Richard Dice) Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2008 12:09:44 -0400 Subject: [Buffalo-pm] Damian Conway to speak in Toronto Wednesday July 16th (evening); talk and venue details here Message-ID: <5bef4baf0806020909u2a9ada44u56dd080232c574a0@mail.gmail.com> Hi everyone, Save the date! The evening of Wed 16 July 2008, Damian Conway, Perl expert extraordinaire, Open Source luminary, and long-time friend of the Toronto Perl Mongers, will deliver -- free and to the public -- one of his signature tour-de-force completely insane talks that is 1/3 high-end IT, 1/3 showmanship and 1/3 peyote-fuelled hallucination. Here are the details: Talk: "Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming in Multiple Topologically Connected Quantum-Relativistic Parallel Timespaces... Made Easy" This will be the world premiere of the talk. Date: Wednesday 16 July 2008 Time: 6:30pm - 9pm Location: Bahen Centre for Information Technology, University of Toronto 40 St. George Street (w. side of street, just north of College Ave. Room # BA 1160 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=+40+St.+George+Street,+Toronto&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=37.052328,95.009766&ie=UTF8&ll=43.659986,-79.396745&spn=0.004137,0.011598&z=17&iwloc=addr As I have done the past 4 times Damian has come to Toronto to give talks I will take up a collection. This is to help defray expenses and to provide Damian with an honorarium for the talk. Donations are completely voluntary. If you feel motivated and/or in the right place financially to make a donation please get in touch with me or visit the Paypal links at http://hew.ca/. The Toronto Perl Mongers and the other groups who have attended Damian's talks have always been incredibly generous in supporting Damian whenever he has visited in the past and both he and I thank everyone for all the support he has received over the years. Cheers, - Richard PS For those of you who don't know Damian, here is some background info on him. He's _not_ just a Perl hacker.
