Curtis "Ovid" Poe is ostensibly attending YAPC::Europe to present up-to-date information about The Perl Foundation (TPF), but in reality, most suspect he's just trying to scam a free beer. A prolific CPAN author and testing evangelist, one of Ovid's main goals in life is to teach programmers the value of turning out well-tested code with ease-of-use as a primary feature. Ovid is also known for his tendency to pick impossible goals. Oh, and he also sits on the TPF steering committee and runs the TPF grant committee, but no one cares about that bit.
