[pm-h] Texas Linux Fest: The 2011 Call for Papers is Open

[Gabor Szabo]

hi,

Thanks for approving my registration to the mailing list!

According to my maps Houston isn't far from Austin
so I hope you'll be interested in this.

See the CFP for the Texas Linux Fest (in Austin) below.

I have asked for a Perl community booth there and already
got approved. I setup a page on the TPF wiki to coordinate
the Perl presence there:

https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/index.cgi?events_2011_texas_linux_fest

Just to compare, SCALE in Los Angeles will have 2 Perl related
talks - one of them by chromatic, sponsored by the
Perl Ecosystem Group - and they will also have an LA.pm / Perl booth.

It would be nice to have a few Perl related talk here too.

Oh, Patrick Michaud already indicated that he is planning to submit
a Perl 6 related talk. It should be fun.
