Attention Speakers!

The Perl Oasis Workshop 2009 will be held in Orlando, on January
17th .

We will have two tracks (advanced and beginner), and we expect
approximately 100 participants. We will also try to arrange a hackaton
on the Sunda after the conference.

This workshop's topic is "Practical Perl for Business". We're
interested in hearing about your talks on these topics:

   * Perl Success Stories
   * Modern use of Perl
   * Good testing practices using Perl
   * Your Favourite Topic? (systems administration / life sciences /
web development)

We accept these presentation types:

   * Short Talks (20 minutes)
   * Standard Talks (40 minutes)

To submit a proposal for a talk/presentation, please register your
proposed title and an abstract on http://www.perloasis.org/opw2009/newtalk.

Submissions are due midnight (23:59 CET) on December 17th 2009.
Submitters will be notified within two weeks whether or not their
talks have been accepted. If your proposal is accepted, you will be
expected to confirm within 48 hours that you in fact will give the
talk; otherwise, your slot may be given to someone else.

If you have something which does not fit the formats listed please
feel free to contact us anyway and we will evaluate it.

Please include the following with your abstract(s):

   * A little information about yourself (and possibly an link to an
image of your choosing - preferably of yourself).
   * The expected minimum level of knowledge of your target audience
(Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)
   * An indication of the length of the presentation.
   * A listing of any requirements you might have for doing your
presentation. We will try to accommodate your request. Projectors and
internet connection will be available for all talks.

If possible, please include a link to your slides/paper ready for
online publishing. The files are also accepted just after talk ends,
so we can include any last minute modifications.

We may take the liberty of filming presentations. If you are not
interested in being filmed during your presentation, please let us
know in advance.

We cannot offer much for your lecture, except:

   * Free admittance
   * A chance to meet a lot of Perl people

Thank you; we hope you will participate either as a speaker or as an
attendee.
