Who:  Dan Sugalski of Parrot fame
What: His "Parrot Internals" talk
When: June 20th.
** RSVP: doug.miles@bpxinternet.com.

Dan Sugalski will be giving the "Parrot Internals" talk as part of a fund
raising tour for The Perl Foundation:

      http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=02/05/14/1757228

There will be a suggested donation of $50, however, it is not required.

If you want to give more, or less, feel free.  If you are unemployed,
don't worry about it. :)  I'm not sure what time or where it will be yet.
I'd like to get an idea of how many people are going to be there to see if
we can host it at Bowne [Central & McDowell in Phoenix].  Let me know if
you plan to be there.

What is Parrot?

Parrot is a virtual machine used to efficiently execute bytecode for
interpreted languages - specifically, Perl 6, although we would like to
keep the door open for other languages in the future. As such, Parrot
will be the core of the Perl interpreter; it will be the target platform
to which Perl 6 code is compiled.
