I'd like to put the idea up for consideration that we could have a scheduled series of quick (10 .. 15 min) presentations scheduled well in advance on "interesting" technologies. For example there are a couple of books <a href="http://pragprog.com/book/rwdata/seven-databases-in-seven-weeks" target="_blank">http://pragprog.com/book/rwdata/seven-databases-in-seven-weeks</a> and <a href="http://pragprog.com/book/btlang/seven-languages-in-seven-weeks" target="_blank">http://pragprog.com/book/btlang/seven-languages-in-seven-weeks</a> where we could compare and contrast the languages with Perl. If you take out winter socials, lightning talks, things like YAPC debriefs then that would give us a good year and a half of supplementary talks.<br>
