| YAPC::NA 2008 Call for Participation                               |

The Chicago Perl Mongers are excited to officially open the call for
participation for YAPC::NA 2008. To submit your proposal, visit [0]the
YAPC site, create an account, and let us know what you'd like to talk
about. Submissions will be accepted through March 15th 2008, so get yours
in soon.

We are currently accepting proposals for conference talks with durations
of 20, 45, 70, and 95 minutes. These talks can be directed at any level
of Perl programmer, from the noobies to seasoned Perl veterans. If you
want to show off an amazing hack or new framework that youve been
involved with, this could be your chance. Possibly you just want to
contribute to the community by giving an introductory talk on regular
expressions or subroutines; we intend on having something for everyone
this year.

If 20 minutes is a too intimidating for you right now or if you just dont
have enough material to fill up that much time, dont fret, we'll be
opening the call for lighting talks soon. These 5-minute
mini-presentations are a great way to get a quick point across and to get
some experience in presenting in front of a crowd. Keep watching this
news source for more information about the lighting talks.

This year we are also planning on introducing more hands-on
workshop-style tracks to the conference. These sessions will typically be
a little longer than a normal presentation and will be much more
informal. During the workshops, conference attendees will be able to
interact with presenters to actually do things like compile Parrot or
create a hello world program in Perl 6. If you are involved in a project
and would like to host a workshop, please contact Josh McAdams directly
at joshua dot mcadams at gmail dot com.

On the first morning of the [0]10th German Perl Workshop [1]Max did a
tutorial on [2]Advanced Perl during which someone asked about the
difference between our and use vars. Max didn't know the answer offhand
(and being smart, doesn't need to pretend to be by pretending to know the
answer), and I had to scratch my head a bit when Jürgen told me about it
(I'd been in the other tutorial), so Jürgen asked if I could do a
lightning talk to explain it. I said yes (which seemed to be consistent
with a question at breakfast - Jonathan asked "are you speaking this
year?" and I replied "not yet").

This Week on perl5-porters - 3-10 February 2008
===============================================

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: It would be a shame if we shipped a perl with
known segfaults.
Nicholas Clark (ever the pragmatist): It wasn't solved in 5.8.8 so it's
not a regression.
