Eric Dillon and myself had the opportunity to sit and talk with him on many occasions at OSCON 03, and 04, he has very no nonsense way of discussing technical Perl issues to discussing hubris, laziness, arrogance, work ethic, etc. as he hires/interviews quite a few folks as we were discussing the changing Perl job market.<br>
<br>I'd love the opportunity to help in hosting him and be a part of it. I realize we don't have a budget, but we could discuss with Barleys or a smaller location, the ability to use a meeting room and find someone with a project.<br>

Hey guys,<br>
<br>
I was chatting with Andy Lester, main contributor to PerlBuzz.com and author<br>
of WWW::Mechanize, ack, Module::Starter, and others you've probably heard of<br>
or used. He's given talks at YAPC and OSCON as well. He's interested in<br>
coming down and possibly giving a presentation to KC.pm. He'd be willing to<br>
come for free since he's only 8-10 hours of driving away.<br>
<br>
I was just curious what others would think, especially such a proposal<br>
coming from a JAPH that's never attended a physical meeting. I'd probably<br>
use this as an opportunity to become involved, despite the long distance<br>
relationship (I live in Manhattan).<br>
<br>
If the group is interested, I think he'd want a place to present slides, so<br>
I'm not sure if the usual venue would work or not. He'd be likely to talk on<br>
his latest interest, which is rethinking CPAN (though, I haven't asked).<br>
This is a budding project intended at trying to redesign CPAN to more<br>
readily answer questions like the recent DBIx::Class versus Class::DBI<br>
question discussed last week on this list.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Sterling<br>

More likely, he'd want to talk about whatever interested the group.<br>
I've talked about dozens of things, so would be glad to do whatever<br>
the group wanted (if it's in my area of expertise).<br>
<br>

But would he be talking about himself in the third person all the<br>
time? 'Cos Kit Peters tells you, that shit gets old. At least in his<br>
opinion it does.<br>

I had the pleasure of conversing with Andy on a couple of evenings<br>
when I was at YAPC NA Buffalo several years ago. Although, I picked<br>
up a few tricks at the conference, speaking with Andy is the<br>
experience that sticks out most in my mind (along with that of the<br>
London pmers in the hotel bar).<br>
<br>
He is an excellent speaker (and thinker) and can converse well on many<br>
subjects. I would be delighted to lend a hand to help <a href="http://kc.pm" target="_blank">kc.pm</a> host him.<br>
