The 2007 Pittsburgh Perl Workshop is only 10 days
away.

The Pittsburgh Perl Mongers are pleased to announce The PITTSBURGH  
PERL WORKSHOP, a two-day, low-cost conference on Saturday and Sunday,  
October 13-14, 2007.

The Pittsburgh Perl Workshop is an annual conference dedicated to the  
Perl programming language. In 2006, the Pittsburgh Perl Mongers  
hosted the first Perl Workshop based in the United States. This year,  
the Workshop has been expanded to two days. The 2007 Workshop is  
structured as a series of short lectures, but the atmosphere is low  
key and engaging: the perfect combination to open your mind and then  
cram it full of good stuff.

After last year's conference you gave us lots of feedback, and we  
listened.
* The workshop was expanded to a two-day event to allow for more  
talks, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and social interactions.
* A one-day course for programmers with little or no Perl experience?- 
taught by a world-class Perl trainer?-was added.
* The schedule has been improved to allow you more flexibility in  
choosing sessions to attend.

Lightning Talks

There?s still time to get a third of your fifteen minutes of fame!  
Submit your lightning talk today. The deadline for early acceptance  
is one week before the conference (October 6). But if you have an  
idea on the first day of the conference, we?re holding at least two  
lightning talk spots until the end of that day. However, you have a  
much better chance of being accepted if submit your talk now.
