1) IMHO, this is an excellent topic for a beginner's talk, when to prepare<br>
for and/or use each.<br></blockquote><div><br>Good idea. I think it can be covered in a lightning talk. I'm thinking of doing a local::lib lightning talk, but maybe this month I'll do "use" vs. "require".<br>
<br>If anyone wants to give this talk, I would be *very* happy!<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
2) I'll try to come to the next meeting with a SHORT (~10 min.) talk about<br>
dealing with Unicode (and specifically Hebrew). This is definitely a<br>
beginner-to-beginner talk, so all the heavy guns out there (read: Sawyer,<br>
Gabor, Shlomi, etc.), hone your talons and prepare to add and clarify...<br></blockquote><div><br>Yay!<br>(and I wouldn't consider myself a 'heavy gun')<br><br>Unicode is indeed a real PITA (and not the good kind of Pita, that you eat with Hummus) and I'd be happy to see a talk covering it. I also think it's good to have it as a short talk, since this can also be very difficult to understand. I know my personal attention span for technical talks on charsets and Unicode is rather limited.<br>

The key term here is "try". I hope I'll have enough free time to do it. But<br>
not having a ten minute talk will not leave a too gaping hole in the<br>
schedule, right?<br></blockquote><div><br>Trying is good! You cannot succeed without trying, trust me, I've tried!<br><br>Either way, don't worry about the schedule, let me worry about the schedule. :)<br>... or as the famous monologue in Futurama:<br>
<b>That Guy</b>: OK, let's work on your execu-speak. I'm worried about "blank".<br>
<b>Fry</b>: Don't you worry about "blank". Let me worry about "blank".<br>
<b>That Guy</b>: Good. I also would have accepted, "Blank? Blank? You're not looking at the big picture!"<br>-- <a href="http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Future_Stock">http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Future_Stock</a><br>
