> 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
