Well, I think there would have to be some kind of selectiveness in
terms of the talks that were made... PHP XML processing wouldn't be a
very good topic for a "Pragmatic Programmers" type group, but talks
that are largely language-independent--for instance, a talk on cool
ways to use XML and not use XML, or how to start and manage a
successful open-source project, or a presentation of some cool new
bug-tracking software or SCM tool--or introductory talks on particular
languages and why they're interesting (such as Chris' talk on Perl 6,
or an introduction to Haskell) would be more what it'd be looking for,
personally.
