Perl in the Time of Social Networks ~ May 9, 2009
This is going to be a fantastic and exciting Perl summer.
During the last week, I received notification that the talk I've proposed for both YAPC::NA and YAPC::EU was accepted.
I will be talking about Perl in the Time of Social Networks, which is mainly two broad things: how Perl can actively power a modern social networking site (I'll be releasing a free -as in speech- social network website, similar to Lovd or RailSpace, built with pure Catalyst); and about high-load applications dealing with social networks' APIs and users (a Moose-based universal social network distributor), with Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Blogger, LastFM, and others. My current contractor has been sponsoring the development and research for this since almost two years now, and we believe it's ready to go public: there's a lot of work backing us up.
I'll be presenting the talk in Pittsburgh, PA, on June 23rd at YAPC|10. If you are around the area, come and attend the talk!
On YAPC::EU::2009, I will be presenting in Lisbon, Portugal, on August 4th, which is conveniently placed just after DebConf 9, which will happen in Cáceres, Spain the week before (I will also be there).
Excellent work, good luck!!

Looks like a very interesting topic! Please make sure your talk goes online (at least the slides, but video and code samples would also be great).
Thanks!

Nice to know you are still doing perl stuf although I never developed on it I know you always enjoyed it, it's nice to know that your employer is backing that up too
Cool picture on the sidebar btw, very "New Yorky"
