[tpm] Damian Conway in Toronto this summer? Perhaps...

[Richard Dice]

Hi everybody,

I've been chatting with Damian Conway lately and we have mutual hopes that
he can come here for a few days during the summer to do his regular shtick:
 present a few public talks, provide a few paid classes.  We won't know for
sure if this can be done until he sorts out his North American summer
travel schedule, which is driven by bigger customers.  But in the meanwhile
I wanted to let the list know that it's a possibility, it's under
discussion, and we'll see what we can work out.

After all, there ain't no party like a Damian party. :-)

I wanted to get some feedback from people here on a few things...

  * anyone aware of any companies in the TO area that would be interested
in buying a day or so of training from Damian?  Here are his offerings:
http://damian.conway.org/Courses/

  * Damian and I have talked about have an "open course" day; that is, we
rent a room somewhere and then people can buy themselves in as individuals
(or groups).  Your feedback is wanted!
        -> suggestions of which course should be provided in that day? (see
above list)
        -> knowledge of venues that rent out suitable rooms for this kind
of thing?
        -> what do you think a suitable price for this would be? (the
market research question)

Thanks!

Cheers,
 - Richard
