I don't expect to be able to co-lead (since, for one thing, that would require putting in significant time in advance), but I would be willing to help TA such a thing. I suspect it would be valuable to have a number of TAs with diverse areas of trouble-shooting expertise, since (for example) I would be pretty useless if someone was having build problems on Windows.
On the basis of doing two of these buildfests in the past month, I would say that TAs are what we *most* need.
Except for the first 5 and last 10 minutes of the session, all the Parrot team members present will be moving around the room coaching people on how to configure and build Parrot, then build Rakudo ... or any other language that, as of YAPC time, we can build on top of Parrot. This is not intended to be an "expert standing in front of the room, lecturing for 75 minutes, then taking questions" type of presentation.
So I look forward to seeing you there and working with you. Jim Keenan
