The Perl Oasis is a day long conference focusing on practical applications of Perl. The conference is being organized by the Orlando Area Perl Mongers and is scheduled for January 16, 2010 in Orlando, FL. The conference registration is currently at Early Bird prices ($20 / $10 for students), we expect this to double approximately two weeks before the conference (January 2nd). Also we have secured a block of rooms at the Venue at a special rate but this rate is for a *very* short time only: All reservations must be received on or before November 25, 2009. They will release all rooms after this date, rooms must be prepaid or they are lost. Hotel dates Jan 15-18 for the $75 rate, I think they will add a few days on either side. Hotel Reservations Department at 1-800-327-1366 between the hours of 9AM - 6PM (EST I assume), Monday through Friday only The Website for the conference is http://perloasis.org/opw2010, and there is an IRC channel set up for communicating with the organizers and other participants, it is #orlando on irc.perl.org.
