July Seattle Perl Users Group (SPUG) Meeting

===========================================
Autrijus Tang: Born in 1981 CE, autrijus is a self-educated i18n geek, net
a(ctiv|narch|rt)ist, and serial entrepreneur. While not busily translating
Free Software and related books to Chinese, autrijus engages in Open
Source and wearable computing advocacy.
In a very short period of time, he has managed to publish a healthy
collection[1] of Perl modules, many dealing with i18n issues.
Additionally, he has made significant contributions to bringing the beast
that is Perl module distribution and the CPAN to a more orderly world. Or
visa versa, perhaps.
We currently do not have a topic from our speaker, but I have it on good
authority that this is usually not a concern. The only concern might be
that our meeting will be on the same day as his arrival in Seattle. But he
wouldn't be the first crazy out-of-town speaker to do this.
A big thanks to many of the folks at Geospiza (a Life Science company, and
big Perl user) for stepping up to hosting the SPUG meeting.
