From szabgab at gmail.com Wed Jun 2 01:22:43 2010 From: szabgab at gmail.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 11:22:43 +0300 Subject: [Columbus-pm] Perl presence on Ohio LinuxFest 2010, Sept 10-12 Message-ID: hi, you might or might not know that I am trying to organize Perl presence on various non-Perl events. There is a whole "Perl events group" with mailing list and a few pages on the TPF wiki. See http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?events So far we participated in 2 events in Europe, the 3rd will be next week. You can see reports and pictures linked from the events page above. A few days ago Heath mentioned the Ohio LinuxFest so I checked out their web site. There is a possibility to setup a Perl booth (they call them exhibits) and to give Perl talks. I think such non-Perl events are great opportunities to promote Perl or Perl based projects. As a comparison: YAPC::NA 192 committed participants and 266 registered. On the LinuxFest there were 1,300 people last year. http://www.ohiolinux.org/ The strategy on these events is to both submit Perl related talks and to setup a Perl booth that makes it easy to talk to people. I'll be at YAPC::NA and I'd be glad to talk to you about our experience in other events but as the dead-line for talk submission is June 30, 2010 it would be better if those interested at least though over what talk they might offer. As I can understand entrance to the LinuxFest is free of charge. For setting up a booth there are some expenses such as - registration for the table is $75 - conference swag As I am trying to get a budget for the ongoing efforts for this from TPF I'll try to get those expenses covered and even get you a nice Perl::Staff polo-shirt for each one of the participants. If you have any question, I'd be happy to answer by mail as well, even before we meet on YAPC::NA. regard Gabor ps. the page http://columbus.pm.org/list has a bunch of spam in it.

In the meantime please submit talk proposals to the Ohio LinuxFest or suggest talks here so we can discuss which might be interesting to the LinuxFest people. Have any of you been to these events earlier? I'll setup a wiki page organizing the Perl presence on the event.

Nope. But I watch the COLUG mailing list (and very occasionally) post. I think a lot of folks are members to both, and they seem to be very Perl friendly. http://colug.net/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It starts on Monday. But this weekend, there is lots to do, and we need bodies. So if you want to help, there is opportunity. Our needs for this weekend are: 1) Hang out at the dorm / hotel, greet, and answer questions to YAPCers. 2) Gofer for Heath (the conference coordinator) 3) Tax people from the airport. (Great way to network.) Please, send an e-mail to yacp-admins at googlegroups.com if you are available and willing. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It would be awesome to have at least 4-5 talks submitted so there will be some Perl presence at the event: http://www.ohiolinux.org/ Later on we can still talk about setting up a Perl booth there. regards Gabor http://szabgab.com/
