Damian Conway is going to be in Pittsburgh and is offering to give us a talk. If you have never been to a Damian talk you are really missing out. You don't want to miss this. What I do know now is that this will be Saturday October 29 after 6:30 p.m. The talk topic and location are still being determined. An RSVP is not required but given the short notice it would be nice to get an idea of how many people to expect to best choose a venue. So if you know you are coming drop me a note to say so as soon as possible. Don't miss this due to transportation. Myself and other Mongers have cars and drivers licenses. Ask if you need ride.

Picking a single talk can be tricky, especially with so many great talks to choose from. To make it easier, I have set up an online election using the Condorcet method, which lets us pick multiple talks (and even rank them). The election algorithm then distills our group preferences into a single, "best" winner. Please record your preferences here: http://www5.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/andru/civs/vote?id=E_f04a00c39f9ac5ac&akey=f124bc8652801e98 Voting ends Friday, 5:00 EST, so please RECORD YOUR VOTE NOW. It takes only a few seconds. Cheers, Tom P.S.

Wow, I'm kind of surprised that Perl6 really tanked. Maybe everyone is tired of just hearing about it? Nice work Tom, really great stuff.

If he is extra pumped-up about something other than "Sufficiently Advanced Technologies," we would probably benefit from making that the subject of the talk. Thoughts?

Going one step beyond this dictum, Damian demonstrates and explains several practical applications of Clarke's Law ("Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic") by presenting a series of useful modules whose interface is...nothing. *Damian Conway* Damian Conway holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and is an Associate Professor with the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. A widely sought-after speaker and trainer, he is also the author of numerous well-known software modules including: Parse::RecDescent (a sophisticated parsing tool), Class::Contract (design-by-contract programming in Perl), Lingua::EN::Inflect (rule-based English transformations for text generation), Class::Multimethods (multiple dispatch polymorphism), Text::Autoformat (intelligent automatic reformatting of plaintext), Switch (Perl's missing case statement), NEXT (resumptive method dispatch), Filter::Simple (Perl-based source code manipulation), Quantum::Superpositions (auto-parallelization of serial code using a quantum mechanical metaphor), and Lingua::Romana::Perligata (programming in Latin). All of this software is available free from your local CPAN mirror. A well-known member of the international Perl community, Damian was the winner of the 1998, 1999, and 2000 Larry Wall Awards for Practical Utility. The best technical paper at the annual Perl Conference was subsequently named in his honour. He is a member of the technical committee for The Perl Conference, a keynote speaker at many Open Source conferences, a former columnist for "The Perl Journal", and author of the book "Object Oriented Perl". In 2001 Damian received the first "Perl Foundation Development Grant" and spent 20 months working on projects for the betterment of Perl. Currently he runs an international IT training company ? Thoughtstream ? which provides programmer training from beginner to masterclass level throughout Europe, North America, and Australasia. Most of his time is currently spent working with Larry Wall on the design of the new Perl 6 programming language and producing explanatory documents exploring Larry's design decisions. Other technical areas in which he has published internationally include programming language design, programmer education, object orientation, software engineering, natural language generation, synthetic language generation, emergent systems, declarative programming, image morphing, human-computer interaction, geometric modelling, the psychophysics of perception, nanoscale simulation, and parsing. Hope to see you there.
