> 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

> and coffee. Registration is done via the website[1] which uses ACT so  
> if you have attended a previous workshop registration is dead simple.
