Если кто-то готов сделать какой-то вводный курс или доклад про
перл/вебтехнологии вообще для студентов факультета Бизнес-информатики ГУ-ВШЭ
(а также для студентов других вузов типа бауманки/миэма/мфти/мифи/etc,
которых мы тоже можем привлечь) — то мы, Бизнес в стиле .RU, готовы взять на
себя организацию этого мероприятия.
Послать студентов на SOC — это же ого-го как здорово и полезно.

Ау?
