Stuff you'd like to talk about

You can present your talk ideas here to get some feedback before actually proposing a talk:

• A non-forking output filer (H.Merijn Brand (‎Tux‎))
  • you mean like 'tee' with automatic (log)file-rotation? (Roland Giersig)
• A perl/Tk Alarm clock (FUN project) (H.Merijn Brand (‎Tux‎))
  • how about expanding that to do some time/task-tracking as well? (Roland Giersig)
• Testing - when NOT to use Expect.pm :-) (Roland Giersig)
  • which Expect are you talking about ? (Thomas Klausner (‎domm‎))
  • the perl version of course... but let me elaborate: (Roland Giersig)

• "Techniques for Remote System-Monitoring using perl and ssh" (Roland Giersig) covering:
  • connecting to systems in a safe way via ssh (not using Expect.pm)
  • discussing when Expect.pm is the way to go
  • running perl scripts on other systems without installing them (or the modules they need) there
  • collecting information from several remote systems at once

• Catalyst (jrockway + others, probably!)
  • I have a few Catalyst talks prepared. If you want to hear one (or more), let me know by editing the page:
    • Angerwhale (filesystem blogging with Catalyst, mixed with crypto and OpenID)
    • Catalyst + IRC -based social networking; learn how to build a web 2.0 web site from the ground up with DBIx::Class, Catalyst, and TT. Also coverse POE for the IRC bot part.
    • Building Catalyst Applications; learn how to use DBIx::Class + TT + Catalyst + lots of plugins to build a fairly complete web application
    • Learning Catalyst; intro to Catalyst and MVC in general

• cool, go ahead and submit them :-)

• SpamAssassin plugins (Jan-Pieter Cornet (‎JohnPC‎)). I have a layout of a talk prepared that I could update for the recent spamassassin 3.20 release, on how to write SA plugins. Does this sound interesting?
  • Yes!
