All talks will be 25 minutes long, and everyone is welcome to give a talk. Applications for speaking are open until the day of the event. For event details, see the PMC event page.
*by Calum T. Dalek*. New to the Unix computing environment? If you seek an introduction, look no further. We will be holding a series of tutorials on using Unix, beginning with Unix 101 this upcoming Monday. Topics that will be covered include basic interaction with the shell and use of myriad powerful tools.

If you're interested in attending, make sure you can log into the Macs on the third floor, or show up to the CSC office (MC 3036) 20 minutes early for some help. If you're already familiar with these topics, don't hesitate to come to Unix 102, which will be held the week of the 26th.
*by Justin Wheeler.*In his own words, this talk will cover the virtues of Perl: CPAN, Moose, CPAN, Catalyst, CPAN, DBIx::Class, CPAN, TMTOWTDI, and did I mention CPAN?

If you've never used Perl before, don't be scared away by the jargon—the talk should be accessible to all CS students, and even if you find it hard to follow, we will be serving pizza!
We will be holding our second code party of the term. Watch for further details, as we plan on working with some robots and Scala, git, and Haskell.

*by Vitalik Buterin.* In this talk, we will cover the cryptographic and game-theory principles behind the currency, including how the issues of double-spending, the "51% attack," and "mining" are addressed, the game-theory incentives to use Bitcoins honestly, and other issues being faced today in practice, such as implementation, attacks, and future scalability.
