uri writes "I am announcing the 2002 Boston Perl Classes. This year Damian Conway will be teaching three different one day classes. And we have added two other high caliber teachers, Peter Scott, co-author of Perl Debugged and Dan Sugalski, who is the pumpking of the Parrot project
The classes are on Mon.-Wed. July 1-3. Tuition is $499 per class and $1399 for any 3. Each class is from 9-5 and includes a continental breakfast and buffet lunch.
The classes will be held at the Cambridge Marriott. The group rate for rooms is only $99 so take a class and stay for the Boston Pops Concert and fireworks on the 4th, a very short walk from the hotel.
For more information and to register for classes, go to: http://stemsystems.com/class/"
Dan Sugalski, who is the pumpking of the Parrot project

What would be a more appropriate title then? Make a suggestion & I'll fix the biography page accordingly. I had him as main developer of Parrot before, but apparently that's not quite what we need to put either.Titles, titles, who's got the titles? Re: jgoff

According to his YAF page, Dan is "the internals designer for Parrot".Uri should rest comfortable, since Pudge went uncorrected when calling Dan the pumpking recently, in spite of having posted the official announcement of JGoff replacing Simon as PumpKing,twice. And Dan's page still lists Simon as CVS-maven. So plenty of confusion reigns. PumpKing is the general title for whoever is insubordinated to Larry, but Dan has his own Pumpkings, so he needs a new euphemism.
Last year's class was excellent!

I've been using "Perl 6 Internals Architect" lately. A bit pompous, but as I've been doing fundraising, mildly pompous seems appropriate.Re:Titles, titles, who's got the titles? Re: jgoff

so how does "pompous perl6 pumpking" work for you?:-) Re:Titles, titles, who's got the titles? Re: jgoff
Elian on 2002-05-18T14:23:28
Nah, that implies I should write code and manage checkins. As we've already seen, that's A Bad Thing.:) Re:Titles, titles, who's got the titles? Re: jgoff

So then, how about "Dan Sugalski, doesn't write any code & doesn't manage anyone else's code either. But he's good at it, really.":) Re:Titles, titles, who's got the titles? Re: jgoff

In fairness, I ran the intro of the article which named Dan as the Pumpking past Dan, and he said it was fine.:-)
