YAPC::NA this summer is going to be the last Perl conference I do for some time, so let's make it a good one. Here are the talks I have prepared; which do people think they'd like to hear, which should I write proposals for, and which would be better off turned into articles or just binned altogether:
- Tutorials:
- Perl For Systems Administrators - 3 hour tutorial
- Perl 5 Internals - 3 hr. rerun from TPC5
- Unicode and Perl - 3 hr. rerun from TPC5
- New talks:
- Bacman - A Distributed Backup System
- optimizer.pm - Speeding up Perl the hard way
- Mail::Miner - Finding stuff in that mass of mail
- Parroting On - Lessons from the coal face
- Perl 6 for Cats (5 min lightning talk.)
- How To Write Bad Perl
- Using and Customizing RT - 1.5 hour
- The .NET You Need To Know
- Reruns from TPC 5:
- Mail::Audit - An introduction
- 10 Modules - I wouldn't go anywhere without
I'm sure I've got more than that, but I can't find them. :(

I won't be at YAPC so that my voice may not count, but here are those that I'd definitely like to see as articles (or in a conference, if that ever happens): Unicode and Perl (missed it last year), optimizer.pm, Mail::Miner, Parroting On, Using and Customizing RT, The .NET You Need To Know.
As a sidenote, are you still on holiday or is it worth one sending you article proposals for perl.com?

Thanks for your ideas, Robin.

Think I'd be writing journal articles if I were in North Africa? :)
here ya go

Presentations I'd like to see, in order from most-prefered down. Note that I'll likely attend the lightening talks regardless, but I placed the LT at the end because if some other too cool talk conflicted, I doubt that any single lightening talk would convince me to miss the other too cool talk. I'm interested in Mail::Miner more than anything else on the list by about an order of magnitude (according to my recently-calibrated interestometer
;) The others I'd love to see on the schedule, because I know I'm interested. Whether I attended would likely depend on what they run up against. I'd probably see Mail::Miner no matter what (well, unless you ended up scheduled against LW or DC).
Mail::Miner - Finding stuff in that mass of mail
Mail::Audit - An introduction
Perl For Systems Administrators - 3 hour tutorial
10 Modules - I wouldn't go anywhere without
How To Write Bad Perl
Perl 6 for Cats (5 min lightning talk.)
The following I'd read if they were articles, agains listed in order from most-prefered on down...
optimizer.pm - Speeding up Perl the hard way
Using and Customizing RT - 1.5 hour
Parroting On - Lessons from the coal face
Unicode and Perl - 3 hr. rerun from TPC5
Perl 5 Internals - 3 hr. rerun from TPC5
The following I probably wouldn't read even as articles, unless I was procrastinating
:) Nothing personal, they just don't fit my interests/needs at the moment...
Bacman - A Distributed Backup System
The
.NET You Need To Know
-matt
my two cents
I'll be at YAPC so here's my listing:
- Using and Customizing RT - 1.5 hour
- 10 Modules - I wouldn't go anywhere without
- Mail::Audit - An introduction
- Mail::Miner - Finding stuff in that mass of mail
- The
.NET You Need To Know (more for my company than me, but hey that's life)
- Perl For Systems Administrators - 3 hour tutorial
The rest I'm not sure how to rank, maybe toss in optimizer.pm?
