YAPCs are always a good opportunity to meet other perl users. As the
organisers of this year's [0]YAPC::EU in Copenhagen have been good enough
to allow me to [1]do a talk on CPAN Testing, [2]Barbie and myself will be
arranging a CPAN Testers Birds of Feather (BOF) session.

Barbie's original announcement:

This BOF is for anyone who is or wants to be a CPAN Tester. A chance to
air any thoughts for improving CPAN testing and highlight any common
pitfalls experienced by current testers. Also a chance for testers and
authors to meet face to face, if they haven't already done so. Any
contributions to improve the http://cpantest.grango.org/ are also
welcome. I would also like to take this opportunity to get group photo of
all the CPAN Testers attending. Last year we had
http://perl.grango.org/images/dscf9239.jpg, so please come along and get
your face on the front page of the http://perl.grango.org/ site :)

This will very likely be at the end of the first day of the conference,
ie. the Wednesday.

If you are attending YAPC::EU and are interested in CPAN Testing, please
add your name to the [3]wiki page
