[Phoenix-pm] meeting proposal

[Scott Walters]

Hi Brock, everyone,

Because I've been busy lately (and not the good kind of busy), I'm only
offering the following selection from those listed below:

   * The making of _Perl 6 Now_
   * Theory and use of Perl6::Contexts (ooh, this would be fuuun) --
     adding Perl 6 style string, integer, boolean, and reference contexts
     to Perl 5 for a mondo cool code effect with greatly reduced
     suckiness. This is another B::Generate hack of mine.

I'm also getting ready to write an article, hopefully destined for
perl.org.  When I figure out what it's going to be about, I could
beta-test that, but that's up in the air.

Of course, I don't have to speak at all.  

Sorry about the Web site.  Things keep getting inserted above it in
my to-do list. =(  Eventually, though... soon... 

Also, anyone going to DEFCON?  http://defcon.org.  In fact, why don't
all of us go?  What about OSCON?  I'm pretty sure I'm doing DEFCON but
I'm still trying to finagle OSCON.  I've always wanted to do a Perl
con but they keep passing me by... right now it looks like if I go,
I (1) will be riding Greyhound (2) will be sleeping under a bridge.

Okay, that's enough for now. 

Regards,
-scott
