I'd love to see NPW include the Baltic states.

I got the impression that the Baltics are quite interested in moving=20
closer to the nordic countries, and with the long history they have=20
with especially Finland, Sweden and Denmark, I think it would be nice=20
to let them arrange a Nordic Perl Workshop. Let's welcome them into=20
the community with open arms. :)

Of course, if the locals (should we find someone willing) rather would=20
call it a Baltic Perl Workshop, I think that's fine too. But saying=20
they can't call it NPW because of some old history or notion of what's=20
"Nordic" just reeks old-school (cold war) politics, IMO.

But in the end, the locals who organize such an event should make the=20
decision themselves, and if they would like to use the NPW name, we=20
should allow it.

We made a rule that NPW should be in the Nordic countries, and we can=20
change this rule just as easy as we can make it.
