Anyone for a DBI BOF? please post at

Thanks!
Great idea!
I would be willing to submit the application form for this and/or
host it, unless someone else wants to do that. I will try to be fair
and unbiased.
My personal preference for a date is Thursday evening at 7:30 or
later, because that night is after the Lightning Talks. But if a
majority prefers another night (there is Monday and Wednesday to
choose from), then so be it.
As far as I can see, there are no conflicts with the schedule on any
night except with other BOFs. Evening events on the main schedule
for Wednesday and Thursday both start at 6pm, so there should be time
for people that want to attend both those and the BOFs.
For whomever submits the form, it may be helpful to answer the main
questions by committee. Therefore, feel free to write in what you
think should be said for the main questions, which are reproduced
below.
Personally, I'm inclined that this BOF should be for advanced topic
discussions, largely for people that have a medium to high level of
experience, or at least already know the basics. Something partly to
make up for the lack of an "Advanced DBI" talk this year.
This would complement Jeff Zucker's "The Basics of Perl DBI" tutorial
on Monday, which is more geared to beginners.
The BOF could discuss in person things like DBI v2, or whatever
wrapper modules, or whatever attendees want, really.
