I saw this on the Catalyst list..
Thought I'd forward it through to the Melbourne list - it's a long way
to go to compete for us here in Australia though :(

Hello Perl web programmers,

the organisers of the [Plat_Forms contest](http://plat-forms.org/) have
published the call for application. See the [announcement overview]
(http://plat-forms.org/platforms-announcement#overview) for why this 
contest is very important for the community as a whole.

Perl's esteem is at stake. ☺ Up to 4 teams comprised of 3 members each
are needed to represent our favourite programming language. Like in the
preceding contest in 2007, the Perl teams are likely self-organised and
not company-backed. To facilitate that, I have set up [a page on the
official Perl 5
wiki](https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/index.cgi?events_2011_plat_forms).

Action required:

1. Communicate as you see fit and form more teams.
2. Post summaries to the wiki page to keep everyone updated.
3. Fill in the [application form](http://plat-
forms.org/sites/default/files/Plat_Forms-applicationform.pdf) and
snail-mail it to the organisers.
