Yeah, sorry for not mentioning this sooner.  I totally forgot about this 
mailing list.

http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/conference/2008/registration/attendee

I encourage everyone to register and pay the $20.  While it says it only 
covers food costs, we use any extra money to fund future conferences.

-----

There will be an additional Perl 6 tutorial by Larry Wall, seperate from 
the Friday night talk; We don't have all the details worked out yet, but 
this is what we know so far:
"The topic will be: How Perl 6 defines a completely extensible parser 
and uses its own extension mechanisms to parse the various 
domain-specific sublanguages that are part of standard Perl 6, such as 
quotes, macros, regular expressions, and even its own grammar."

This tutorial/workshop will be Saturday morning, probably from 10a-noon. 
Once the exact time and place is known, I'll send another email to this 
list.  There should also be signs posted and announcements made during 
the conference.
