SPUG: Damianiacal Training Winners

[Tim Maher]

SPUGsters,

We now know the winners for the first free-seat drawings for Damian
Conway's upcoming classes.  But first, some background.  We had six
contestants donating to the TPF Perl Development fund, with donations
ranging from $6 to $140.   Each had as many chances to win as they had
dollars donated.  Two names were randomly drawn from a "virtual bag"
containing from 6 to 140 instances of each name, using a Perl program
(naturally).

And the winners are:
	Jeremy Kahn,	"Programming Perl 6" (a $71 donor)
	Rich Wood,	"Advanced Module Implementation" (a $10 donor)

Which just goes to show, having the statistical odds in your favor
doesn't always pay off, nor does having them against you necessarily
mean you won't win.  You can get lucky.  Or the reverse!

We'll have one final drawing next Wednesday, which will
be for one free seat for each $300 in contributions.  See
teachmeperl.com/apworkshop#Raffle for more details.

Thanks to those who participated, and although most of you didn't win
directly, keep in mind that we raised $297 for The Perl Foundation in
this raffle, and *we all win* by supporting our community in this way!

-Tim
