>> I will be there on the afternoon of the 7th.  There are a couple of projects one can look into for Moose and Perl 6 (Biome and BioPerl6).  I think Hilmar was to do some DBIx::Class stuff for BioSQL at one point, not sure where that is (might be surplanted by SQLite work?).  Would be nice to talk with Mark re: the wrapper system for BioPerl as well.
