Subject: [Hackathons] Announcement: European Perl Hackathon
Message-ID: <20070201162129.I96671@primus.biocede.com>

You are invited to attend the European Perl Hackathon in
Arnhem, the Netherlands, from 2 - 4 March, 2007.  Familiarity
with the featured projects is not required; you need only bring
a laptop and a willingness to join in.

Although there is no fee to attend the hackathon, you are required
to pay for your own accommodation and transportation.   However, it is
possible to book a room at the venue location when you register for
the hackathon, at the price of 74 Euros for two nights plus breakfast.

Space is limited to 30 participants, and registration is required.
Reservations for accommodations made through the hackathon must be made by 9 
February; reservations for the event itself must be made no later than 22 
February.

REGISTRATION

This is a reminder that the deadline for accommodations for the hackathon
is fast approaching.  If you want a room reservation, you must register
for the hackathon and either pay online or contact Ann about paying later.
The deadline is Friday, 9 February.  For more information about the rooms,
please refer to:
     http://conferences.yapceurope.org/hack2007nl/venue.html#accommodations

If you prefer to make alternate arrangements for your accommodation, but
wish to attend the hackathon, you still need to register before Thursday,
22 February.  There is no cost for this registration.  If you have special
requests, such as vegetarian food, please contact Ann at the time of 
registration.

To register, you first need to log in by either using an existing Act
profile or creating a new user.  Registration will be limited to the first
30 people.

PROJECTS

Since the initial announcement, two additional projects have joined the
Parrot/Perl 6 track (hosted by Allison Randal and Jonathan Worthington):

* Mark Overmeer will host a track on CPAN6.
* Philippe Bruhat will coordinate Act development.  This is an excellent
   opportunity to address any complaints you may have with the hackathon
   registration system ;)
