Assuming the date is still the 25th, I'll be talking about Localizing Catalyst
Applications.  If you're not already familiar with Catalyst, it's the MVC 
framework all the cool kids are using to build their web apps (unlike 
Ruby on Rails, which is so yesterdays news).  Let me tell you of all the 
foolish design decisions I made, and how you can avoid them and hopefully do
it the right way the first time.  Useful code may be provided, if I get off
my ass and get it CPAN ready by that point, otherwise you'll be stuck with the
crappy examples on my slides.

Hope to see at least some of you there.
