This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. * Perl at large. Yet Another Perl Conference dates and location have been decided upon by Yet Another Society. YAPC::America 2002 will take place over June 26-28, at Washington University, St. Louis. An announcement from YAS is forthcoming. http://www.yapc.org/ http://www.yetanother.org/ http://www.wustl.edu/ Other than that, it's been a pretty quiet week. New York Perl Mongers played host to an interesting guest this week: Guido van Rossum, of Python fame. According to some of the attendees I spoke to, the meeting was enjoyable and civil, with Guido being tossed the occasional obligatory low ball for fun. Meanwhile, over in Denver, Randal Schwartz has been talking about Perl 6 to Perl Mongers groups there. * What's new on perl.com We turn our attention back to Parrot this week, with Jeff Goff explaining Parrot Magic Cookies. PMCs are the means by which Parrot will be language-independent, and implementing different types of PMC is the way to get your favourite language's data types working on the Parrot interpreter. I know that at the moment, there are people working on PMCs for Perl, Python and Scheme. Jeff shows us how we write custom data types and use them inside Parrot. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/01/30/pmcs.html Enjoy, SC ======================================================================= FREE COLDFUSION 5 Trial and Seminars Lets You Build Advanced Sites Fast Macromedia ColdFusion 5 - the fastest way to build and deploy powerful Web apps - empowers you to increase productivity, simplify management, and enhance application performance.

Some of the great authors and coders in the field will be on hand to discuss their work, as well as the nature and direction of Perl itself. Please join us for three days of listening and talking about Perl in Saint Louis. * Conference registration will be available by Feb. 15, 2002 at http://na-register.yapc.org/ * Dorm rooms are being researched at the local universities; when availability is determined, the dorm request information will be on the website and registration form. Registration Cost: USD$85 * We are looking for sponsors. Please contact Kevin Lenzo (lenzo@yapc.org) for information about how you can help support the Yet Another society and YAPC. Much of the necessary funding for YAPC comes from the generous donations of our sponsors. * Submitted papers: Submission Deadline: May 1, 2002 All topics are welcome. Here is a short list of subjects that might be presented: Perl 6, Parrot, XML, CGI/Web, Interprocess Communication, GUIs (GTk, Tk), Natural Language Processing, Interactive Perl, Agents, Perl as Glue, Object-Oriented Perl, Scientific Applications, Guts, Internals, JAPHs, Perl Poetry, System Administration, DBI/DBD, Non-UNIX Perl, Security, Peer-to-Peer Communication, Your Favourite Topic. Please submit your abstracts to . Authors are requested to limit their abstracts to one or two paragraphs for Lightning Talks, and to 300 words for other talks. This year we will accept a number of types of talks: * Lightning: 5 minutes The lightning talks were instigated by Mark-Jason Dominus two years ago in Pittsburgh, and were replicated with great success at the European YAPC in London. Participants speak for no more than five minutes, with the use of conventional transparencies. Any use of data projector, etc, is discouraged, but allowed as long as the five minute time limit is maintained (set-up will be done as the clock ticks). The talk ends at the five-minute mark, regardless of whether or not the speaker has finished. Any topic is allowed, and some have been fantastically humourous. Lightning talks are an excellent forum for first-time speakers. * Standard: 20 minutes A 'standard' talk is the preferred format. This is enough time to start a topic, introduce it with some pithy slides, and open up to later conversation. * Long and Extra-Long: 45 minutes, 90 minutes Long talks are reserved for experienced speakers covering large topics. If you have an in-depth topic you would like to present in some detail, perhaps with considerable discussion, a Long or Extra-Long talk may be the format of choice. * Tutorial: 3 hours + break (possibly in two sets) Half-day (or possibly full-day) tutorials. Please submit your abstracts to ! -- Yet Another Society is a non-profit organization for the advancement of collaborative efforts in computer and information sciences.
