As I'll be in Boston June 17th to give a talk to the Boston chapter of the ACM. Details on the details page. (The summary: An overview of parrot's architecture, then some in-depth on the tools we've built and the techniques we're using to actually create the software, since we do some odd things that folks may or may not have thought of)

Some custom configuration fun too, which is always good for some pain. :)
