<div><br>See below for a quick update ;) In terms of my geekhunter site, it's off-line because I switched providers, etc. Hopefully, I'll have a blog up and running again soon. Please see below for some thoughts I had regarding moving forward with talks at the
LA.pm. What do you think?<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">> Yes, it's true! After 6 1/2 great years at Ticketmaster I decided it was
<br>> time to try something new. I'm now doing my same basic job (recruiting!) for<br>> Google in Santa Monica. I know that I've been a bit silent lately, but<br>> getting adjusted over the last few weeks has taken up most of my time. It's
<br>> a great place though and the work is really exciting. I hope you all<br>> understand that this transition is going to take most of my energy over the<br>> next few months. Pablo has jumped into my shoes to run the last few meeting
<br>> which is _greatly_ appreciated. Actually, I don't have any new guest<br>> speakers scheduled at this point so this is a good time to open the floor up<br>> to suggestions.<br>><br>> During the SCALE conference there was a lot of talk about the creation of a
<br>> list of "hot topics" which local <a href="http://la.pm">la.pm</a> members volunteering to take on a<br>> topic and become the guinea pig for a talk. For instance, if Catalyst was<br>> one of the topics, someone would raise their hand high, spend the next month
<br>> or so beating on it, and then present their findings to the group. It could<br>> be a very interesting way of getting some unique insights.<br>><br>> What do you think? If there is a generally positive response, the first
<br>> thing to get done would be the creation of the "hot list." I'll start off<br>> the list with...<br>><br>> 1). Catalyst<br>> 2). Jifty<br>> 3). Parrot<br>> 4). The current "state" of Perl 6
