Due to some rather depressing news on the home front, I was only able to attend Saturday’s track and the Event Dinner. Everything was awesome as usual. I was even surprised to learn new things in the Advanced Pattern Matching talk.

My talk was titled Network Introspection with Open Source Tools and was an overhaul of the presentation that I did at LinuxWorld earlier this year. I took the feedback of the audience and tuned the talk to a Perl centric audience. I wasn’t heckled badly on IRC, which is the ultimate gauge of success.

I’d like to thank the organizers, CMU, sponsors, and The Perl Foundation for another successful year of the Work Shop. Next year, Pittsburgh is hosting YAPC::NA, and will not be hosting the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop. I look forward to being able to drive to YAPC!

If you saw the talk and want to rant about it, feel free to do so here.
