From pjf at perltraining.com.au Mon Oct 18 17:43:29 2010 From: pjf at perltraining.com.au (Paul Fenwick) Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2010 11:43:29 +1100 Subject: [Brisbane-pm] Open Programming Miniconf (LCA) - CFP closes THIS FRIDAY Message-ID: <4CBCE9B1.9090001@perltraining.com.au> G'day Everyone! A friendly reminder that the CFP for the Open Programming Miniconf, part of LCA2011 being held in Brisbane in January, is closing on October 22. That's this Friday! If you're a developer working with or on Open Source development tools or languages, and especially Perl, they'd love to hear you share your tips and techniques. The CFP, including details about what we're after, is available from http://blogs.tucs.org.au/opm/cfp Best wishes, Paul == ABOUT THE MINICONF == The LCA2011 Open Programming Miniconf is the successor to the Open Programming Languages Miniconf held at LCA2010, and continues the tradition of bridging the gap between the low-level developer and the end-user by bringing the topic of tools and techniques for application development to Linux.conf.au. OPM2011 is part of Linux.conf.au 2011, being held at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane in January 2011.
