Nine Views of Mark Jason Dominus

gnat on 2003-05-22T21:53:45

There's only one OSCON talk that I will move heaven and earth to attend. It's Nine Views of Mark Jason Dominus. He's giving nine lightning talks back to back.

Nine? Yes, nine. They are:

• The coolest Perl project I ever did
• Should I release a new version every month?
• The failure of subclassing on CPAN
• How not to ask for help from strangers
• How to progress
• Don't give up just because it's NP-complete
• On giving a man a fish
• Why Lisp will never win
• A message for the Aliens

YUM!

Only One?

I thought you had assigned yourself to attend Intro to Perl Testing as penance.

I won't be moving heaven and earth to get to that, though. It may be part of the terms of my parole ... :-)

Video online?

Are you planning to make a video of this available online after the show?

I just won't be able to go to OSCON, but I would so like to see MJD give this talk.

Preferably something like the Judo class - it let you feel that you were almost there, just so much that the envy of the ones who got there was even bigger.

I won't be recording it (ENOCAMERA) but I'm sure it'll be a high priority for the people who do bring their cameras.
