It seems an excellent idea for some GTALUG people to head out and
potentially help sponsor the event.  It would be in poor taste to go,
and not do *something* other than look guilty when they pass around
the hat...

I don't think it makes sense at this point for GTALUG to try to be
involved in payment; that convolutes things unnecessarily, as there's
not thousand$ of dollar$ to throw at thing$.

Alas, May 13th I'm elsewhere :-(

I think I'd sorta rather hear the Higher Order Perl talk, but this
could be good...
