Nordic Perl Workshop 2008 - Call for Papers & Participation
-----------------------------------------------------------

Stockholm Perl Mongers and its fellow Nordic Perl Mongers arranges the 
annual Nordic Perl Workshop in Stockholm, Sweden on the 24th and 25th of 
May (over a weekend). This is the second time the workshop is arranged in 
Stockholm and the 6th time in total. The venue for this years workshop is 
located right next to Vasaparken near Odenplan, in the heart of Stockholm. 
During summertime this is a green oasis where one can chill in the grass, 
watch people or take a break in some of the park's coffee-shops. Odenplan 
also offers a wide range of restaurants and pubs in it's vicinity.

Nordic Perl Workshop is a workshop for the community by the community and 
we want you to submit interesting and inspiring presentations in order to 
make the workshop successful. Talk lengths are the usual 20 and 40 minutes 
but we might consider longer ones if motivated. Any subject is welcome as 
long as it's related to Perl somehow - from algorithms for social graphing 
and web-technologies to Perl5 core optimizations and language 
implementation targeting the Parrot VM. To submit a talk either do it 
online on the workshop website[1] or to claes at surfar.nu . If submitting 
via email please prefix the subject with [NPW]. Please submit talks no 
later than Friday 2nd of May. Accepted speakers will be notified Monday 
5th of May.

Apart from speakers the workshop also requires eager participants. 
Workshop fee is 500 SEK (~ 55 EUR) and there's a reduced fee at 250 SEK (~ 
28 EUR) for students. This includes admission to the workshop and coffee. 
Registration is done via the website[1] which uses ACT so if you have 
attended a previous workshop registration is dead simple.

[1] Website is not online yet but we're working on it really hard. The URL 
is as always http://www.perlworkshop.dk/
