This Week on perl5-porters - 16-22 March 2008
=============================================

"I suspect that by now the Parrot code base has moved on sufficiently
that it's faster and cleaner to start from scratch than to try to merge
over that code. I might be wrong, but I'd suggest keeping "redo from
start" as an option." -- Nicholas Clark, not wishing to flog a dead
horse.

Stockholm Perl Mongers and its fellow Nordic Perl Mongers arranges the
annual Nordic Perl Workshop in Stockholm, Sweden on the 24th and 25th of
May (over a weekend). This is the second time the workshop is arranged in
Stockholm and the 6th time in total. The venue for this years workshop is
located right next to Vasaparken near Odenplan, in the heart of
Stockholm. During summertime this is a green oasis where one can chill in
the grass, watch people or take a break in some of the park's
coffee-shops. Odenplan also offers a wide range of restaurants and pubs
in it's vicinity.

Nordic Perl Workshop is a workshop for the community by the community and
we want you to submit interesting and inspiring presentations in order to
make the workshop successful. Talk lengths are the usual 20 and 40
minutes but we might consider longer ones if motivated. Any subject is
welcome as long as it's related to Perl somehow - from algorithms for
social graphing and web-technologies to Perl5 core optimizations and
language implementation targeting the Parrot VM. To submit a talk either
do it online on the workshop website[1] or to [email protected]. If
submitting via email please prefix the subject with [NPW]. Please submit
talks no later than Friday 2nd of May. Accepted speakers will be notified
Monday 5th of May.

Apart from speakers the workshop also requires eager participants.
Workshop fee is 500 SEK (~ 55 EUR) and there's a reduced fee at 250 SEK
(~ 28 EUR) for students. This includes admission to the workshop and
coffee. Registration is done via the website[1] which uses ACT so if you
have attended a previous workshop registration is dead simple.

[1] Website is not online yet but we're working on it really hard. The
URL is as always http://www.perlworkshop.dk/

Important dates to remember:

May 2nd - Deadline for talk submission
May 5th - Speakers will be notified
May 16th - Registration closes
May 23th - Pre-work gathering for early arrivals
May 24-25th - Nordic Perl Workshop 2008

Hope to see you in Stockholm.

Claes Jakobsson on behalf of the Nordic Perl Workshop 2008 organization
team.
