Please speak up.
I'd love to hear a talk about these, even though I already know what XSLT and XPath are, and have worked with them extensively (and think I know what XQuery is). Note that I've attended Zach Kessin's talk about XSLT in one of the YAPCes and back then was heavily disappointed. I wanted to learn XSLT through it and instead Zach only gave the motivation, some super-basics and referred us to O'Reilly's XSLT Cookbook. Afterwards, I learned XSLT using http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/ and http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTutorial/Books/Book1/index.html , but was still heavily disappointed from the presentation. It's hard for me to tell you what the expectations of the crowd would be, but it would be useful to actually teach something and show some examples more than have a motivation talk. I may as well spill the beans and say that I'm now working on an OSDClub in Tel Aviv University which I decided to merge with the Tel Aviv Linux Club (or Telux). So we can give hosting for the Perl mongers meeting every month (first Sunday of each month or so or perhaps a different day) at Tel Aviv University, as long as many presentations there (like this one) won't be strictly about Perl, and the meetings won't be too long. TAU is more accessible than F5 with much better public transportation and lots of parking. I still think it's a good idea to keep this mailing list and the Telux mailing list as separate entities, but I think that having OSDClub+Telux+Perl-IL under one umbrella would be a good idea. So what do you say?
