So far there has been only one Perl proposal to the Open Programming Languages Mini-conf. There have been many PHP talks submitted however. I know that Paul and I clearly need to get our acts into gear, but perhaps you'd like to submit something too! Our CFP can be found here: http://blogs.tucs.org.au/oplm/cfp/ and we've extended the deadline until this Friday 23rd October. Please submit. If you want help putting together a proposal, send it through to this list and we can talk ideas, wording etc. Ideas I'd be very happy to see: * A tour of CPAN (my [your] favourite 10 modules) * Your Perl build chain to make it easy to install your application * An introduction to [your favourite module] * How to create [something cool] in [some small number] lines of Perl. (for example 2-d barcodes) * How Perl made [hard problem] easy. Please submit more Perl talks! All the best, J From jarich at perltraining.com.au Wed Oct 28 21:37:03 2009 From: jarich at perltraining.com.au (Jacinta Richardson) Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:37:03 +1100 Subject: [Brisbane-pm] OSDC 2009 Early Bird Ends Friday 30th October Message-ID: <4AE91BEF.6090601@perltraining.com.au> This is your last chance to get early bird registration for the Open Source Developers Conference, 2009.

A workshop follows a barbecue in the afternoon and while there's no firm cap on numbers at the moment, you'd best register early to ensure you get a place.
