inspired by stas bekman's visit last summer, i've been working on some
speakers to make this summer even better for seattle perl hackers.
with two confirmed speakers already, and two tentative, this promises
to be a great summer. below is an overview of what i've been able to
plan so far. this can also be found on the spug wiki, which i will
keep up to date as information changes (http://wiki.seattleperl.org/)
