Eric Dillon and myself had the opportunity to sit and talk with him on many occasions at OSCON 03, and 04, he has very no nonsense way of discussing technical Perl issues to discussing hubris, laziness, arrogance, work ethic, etc. as he hires/interviews quite a few folks as we were discussing the changing Perl job market.
I'd love the opportunity to help in hosting him and be a part of it. I realize we don't have a budget, but we could discuss with Barleys or a smaller location, the ability to use a meeting room and find someone with a project.
