I've spent the last few days at the French Perl Workshop. As well as my brand new talk, I gave two re-runs of two that I had given before. One was entirely new to the French audience, and the other one was from quite a while back and given a face lift so it seemed new (in fact, it was the first talk I ever gave to the Perl community; it was on the topic of web security, and from the web code I encounter it is no less relevant today than it was then). That was 100 minutes worth of talks, which was a pleasure thanks to a great audience.

I've got a brand new talk in the works, which I will be delivering at both the French Perl Workshiop (Lyon, 16th-17th November) and the Israeli Perl Workshiop (Tel Aviv, 31st December). I will be talking on the topic of parallelism - why we need to do it, how (not) to screw it up, what Perl 6 will bring to the table and some of the latest research for future ideas, including lock-free data structures. I hope to announce more European dates for the talk over the coming months, subject to it being accepted at more conferences.
