Call for Speakers

The Grand Rapids Perl Mongers is currently seeking speakers for the
2006 season. Meetings are typically held the last Friday of the month,
every month, at the offices of a corporate sponsor, during the lunch
hour. We seek professionals, educators, and hobbyists who have
something interesting to share, along the following general lines:

- Practical Perl Tips & Techniques
- Powerful modules that no one has heard of
- Higher-Order Perl: Using Perl to write Perl
- Advanced Concepts: Threading, Object-Oriented, GUI Development, Web
Spiders & web automation, etc.
- Open Source and Related Tools (PHP, Python, Ruby, Linux, Apache,
MySQL, etc)
- Perl 6 and other new developments
- "Look at this neat thing I did in Perl / here's how I did it"
- Other topics of interest to Software Developers who think for
themselves

In the following formats:
- Lightning Talks of five minutes in length.
- Short Talks; ten to twenty minutes
- Long Talks; thirty-five minutes to one hour

Lunch will be provided for speakers; a travel allowance is available
for out-of-town speakers.

For more information please contact Matthew Heusser, Program Chair,
Grand Rapids Perl Mongers, at matt.heusser@xxxxxxxxx or Matt Hahnfeld,

Heusser with your presentation title, a short (20-to-100 word)
