hi all, when damian conway has come to boston before he has given some amazing talks which bring out massive numbers of boston perl mongers. he has come here only when he had training gigs and that isn't likely to happen. but toronto did a cool thing at least once. they collected funds and paid for a talk by damian. he is usually open to such things if he can plan his schedule for a side visit. he usually gets an around the world plane ticket which gives him flexibilty in the states. i can't quote his expenses for a visit here but i would guess it is less than $1k total. i will ask both toronto.pm and damian what it would likely cost. anyhow, are people here interested in this? if a few perl using companies gave even $50 or $100 and we collected the rest, we could pull this off easily. ask at your place for a small donation or donate something yourself. at this point i want to just gauge overall interest and possible corporate help. i will get back with more info as i get it.
