OK then, I have heard the message, so lets compact this scripting jamboree into one, or possibly two, evenings. 7:30 Volker Kuhlmann: Bourne Shell, etc. ( bash, csh, ksh, zsh, etc. ) 8:00 John Carter: Ruby. 8:30 Carl Cerecke: Python. 9:00 SUPPER 9:30 Steve Holdoway: PHP. 10:00 Zane Gilmore: Perl. 10:30 Everybody: FlameFest :-) 11:00 Vacate the premises. Personally I recon it's not possible to do justice to the subjects in the times allowed, and would like to suggest that we spread this over 2 evenings. I.E. put two of them ( e.g. perl and PHP ) off until August, but in an open & democratic organisation who am I to say? Comments? -- C. S.
