1	Google Maps Tilting by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa - Six Apart Ltd. recent ThinkPad models have hardware Accelerator monitoring for HDD shock protection. In this talk I'll present you how to hack this Accelerator from Perl, or intergrate with other progamming languages API like Google Maps API to enable the coolest user interface. http://bulknews.typepad.com/blog/2006/06/control_google_.html Programming
2	I hate XML by Mark Overmeer but have to use it. Programming
3	I love YAML by Mark Overmeer but where are the specs? Programming
4	Project Management documents by Hendrik Van Belleghem I'll run down some of the different types of documents you can use in a development project. Serious
5	Jifty! Pony! by Chia-liang Kao - Best Practical Come see building fancy ajax application in 5 min with jifty! Programming
6	Email::Filter by Ruben Fonseca One day I needed to learn Procmail... and at the same day I nearly went blind by looking at his syntax... Then Email::Filter comes and rescue me :D Programming
7	Writing XML files from Perl by Alberto Sim�es How do you write XML files from Perl? And HTML? Do you use the same kind of approach? No? Why not? There isn't a CGI module for XML? Are you sure? Programming
8	Why Perl is not accessible for non US keyboard users by Alberto Sim�es This is a programming but also funny presentation about how keyboard layouts can make Perl programming not accessible. Rant
9	RRD tool by Jan Henning Thorsen I would like to request a module extends the RRD.pm module that already exists. Programming
Break	A short break A few minutes to prepare for the second half speakers.

11	HTTP::Async - process several HTTP requests at once. by Edmund von der Burg This module (on CPAN in next couple of days) was created to allow several HTTP requests to be in action at once without blocking the execution of the code. The content can be processed as it is returned. If you are creating a crawler this is vital as it allows you to use one process for several sites without blocking on the reading from the network. http://dev.ecclestoad.co.uk/svn/cpan/HTTP-Async/ Programming
12	All your Database Drivers Are Belong To Us by Tim Bunce - Data Plan Services Perl has its own database drivers. Python has its own database drivers. Ruby has its own database drivers. Tcl has its own database drivers. Just about every language has its own database drivers. ALL DIFFERENT - ALL DUPLICATING EFFORT - NONE PERFECT. All these languages have versions targeting Parrot. Parrot is meant to enable these languages to interoperate. Let's not duplicate database driver development again! I'm working on defining a database driver API for Parrot. I need help. Come join me. Other
13	Success Story: XML with Templates by Tina M�ller For two programs that generate XML I switched from XML::LibXML to a template system - and it's faster. Which cool template system could that be? =) Programming
14	Perl Hotel Service by Thomas Klausner Perl people are living nearly everywhere on the world. Perl people also travel nearly everywhere on the world. Why not start an informal system to match people wanting to provide a guest bed/room with people looking for a guest bed/room. Other
15	undef isn't by Juerd undef, or is it? Programming
16	I have a dream... by Jose Castro - log ...and you are in it... Serious
17	Sock! Kayo!! Vronk!!! by Philippe "BooK" Bruhat After last year's talk at Braga, I received enough help to bring Acme::MetaSyntactic up to version 1.00. This is going to be the "thank you" talk! As the module approaches version 1.00, I'll explain the plans for the future, and how I expect to waste other people's tuits in maintaining the weekly flow of new themes. And there will be a surprise, too. http://search.cpan.org/dist/Acme-MetaSyntactic/ Programming
18	A year of Perl in the (gutter) press by Philippe Bruhat (BooK) - Les Mongueurs de Perl See what the paparazzi could do if they attended a YAPC. Funny
