[nylug-talk] Damian Conway Public Class: Perl Advanced Module Development Techniques: Sat July 8 NYC

[Carl Friedberg]

Normally, I stay out of these discussions, although I've been 
reading this list for almost six years now. IMO, Damian
Conway's seminar is appropriate for the NYLUG-TALK list.

I know personally that it is not easy for the main perl 
developers and gurus (and Damian is high up on that list) to 
make a living. The product which they create and maintain 
-- perl -- is open source, and free. But, there are at
least 10 full time maintainers who keep up the incredible 
work, including  bugfixes, back-porting perl 6 features, 
perl 6, parrot, etc.

Damian, I suspect, subsidizes his perl developer work by 
giving seminars. Yes, they are costly. I have never attended 
one, and regre that I can not get to this one. Juding from
the opinion of Jim Keenan, which I value, you will find 
this a high quality seminar. 

I've posted to this list many times about NYSIA Wireless 
meetings, for which non-members had to come up with a $20 
entrance fee. No one suggested it was "SPAM". I think you 
are way off base on this. I suspect that just about
everyone who uses Linux also uses, or bumps into, perl at 
some time, and might benefit from Damian's seminar.

Of course, if you don't want to receive these notices, you 
could just unsucbscribe. I hope you don't. You also might 
consider a contribution to the Perl Foundation.

Alex,
Stuff you opinion.  I'll not respond to you again.  I think your
response vulgar and inappropriate.  A free course -- fine --- a for fee
course -- its very questionable.
