HoiHoi,

Heeft iemand al een voorstel voor een slogan/logo/...??? Of ander
commentaar?

Hierbij de link naar de mindmap met de nodige informatie om een perl
workshop te organizeren: https://github.com/lordarthas/perl-events

Groetjes.

Hi,

Since our country survived so far the winter, we have been discussing a lot
about the next Belgian Perl Workshop.

Well here is the official Call For Papers.

The BPW is planned for October 15 2011 in Brussels.

The theme for this year's workshop is "Just Another Perl Workshop", which we
hope will inspire submissions on this and related topics. Also it gives any
speaker a very good opportunity to practise a talk for YAPC::EU 2012 ;-)

We are currently looking for speakers (and attendees of course also ;-) ).

As discussed in the past at the previous YAPC and/ or workshops, you have
expressed the interest to practice your talk before a small and friendly
audience in Brussels before facing the vast masses of perl hackers at
YAPC::EU 2012 :-) Well here's the opportunity.

1 room (30++ persons is available.)

Talk Types

         o Perl Tech Topics: Introduction   (Beginner's-, Intermediate
Level)  (Perl 5 & 6)
         o Perl Tech Topics: Advanced.      (Advanced, Expert Level)
 (Perl 5 & 6)
         o Perl Yet Another Talk
         o Perl Lightning Talks
         o BOFs


We will accept these two presentation formats:

A standard talk is the preferred format.
This gives enough time to introduce a topic, presenting it with some slides,
and a coverage of the main points leading up to later, hopefully more
in-depth, discussions (possibly at a BOF). The duration of a standard talk
is 30 minutes. If your talk is much longer than 30 minutes, please consider
breaking it into 30-minute parts, to accommodate our schedule.

A lightning talk is a brief talk that focus on a single example,
idea, project, module or technique.
Lightning talks do not attempt to cover all aspects of their respective
topics, but rather presents a facet of the idea clearly and succinctly.
Lightning talks are an excellent forum for first-time
speakers. The duration of a lightning talk is 5 minutes.

Please include the following with your abstract:

   *  A little information about yourself (and possibly an image of your
choosing - preferably of yourself).
   *  An indication of preferred language and possible languages
the presentation can be given in.
   *  An indication of the length of the presentation, whether this is a
standard 30-minute talk, or a 5-minute lightning talk.
   *  A listing of any requirements you might have for doing
your presentation. We will try to accommodate your request. Projectors
will be available for all talks.

We might want to arrange a BOF as a follow-up to a talk and hope
that speakers will welcome this and participate.

We plan on doing audio and/or video recordings of the presentations, and
making these available on our website. If you have issues with this, please
let us know in advance.

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

Proposals can be submitted for the moment at www.perlworkshop.be.

Hoping to see you there!
Cheers.
