I second that too.
The Nordic Perl Workshop has evolved into somewhat of a strong "brandname",=
 with a rather clear geographical target and we are just stable enough to h=
ope keeping it like this.=20

On the other hand, starting workshops in the baltic states would be awesome=
 and I would definitely do all I could to personally attend workshops there=
. But as the others I think it should be stamped with a different name than=
 'Nordic' since it targets such a different group. The python community is =
strong in the baltic and has hosted its annual european conference (yap(yth=
on)c?) in Vilnius in Lithuania a couple of time (including in july soon) so=
 I believe there is interest in dynamic languages in those countries. Riga =
sounds like a good choice too, or Tallinn as well for that matter, since it=
's easier to travel to those towns than to Vilnius. As for the name, 'Balti=
c Perl Workshop' sounds fine to me. But have you found local mongers motiva=
ted to help organizing?

And, Andrew, first of all I think your suggestion is great and I really hop=
e you'll manage to get a show going on. In the end, place and name don't ma=
tter so much (as long as it's not nordic ;), I just wand to hack perl with =
fellow nerds.
Good luck!
