From chris at prather.org Sun Dec 5 13:08:27 2010 From: chris at prather.org (Chris Prather) Date: Sun, 5 Dec 2010 16:08:27 -0500 Subject: [yapc] Perl Oasis 2011 Message-ID: With London Perl Workshop closing up this weekend, I realized So Perl Oasis 2011 (http://www.perloasis.info) is rapidly approaching. It will in fact be happening January 15th, 2011, and the deadline for Talk Submissions is December 17th. Worse yet the deadline for booking the hotel rooms with our discount rate is December 16th! The call for speakers is open and we have had some speakers submit talks already on Catalyst, Moose, Javascript, Template::Zoom, MozRepl. However we need more! Additionally there will be space for a hackathon on the Sunday after for people who are interested in getting together and working on a project or two. The cost for the workshop is $20 USD for non-students, and $10 for students. Finally for the first year we are offering the Introduction to Moose corporate training course on January 14th. This class was developed by Dave Rolsky. It has been presented several times at YAPC's here and in Europe, as well as at various Perl Workshops around the country. The cost for this course is $180 USD, which for corporate style training is dirt cheap. I look forward to seeing as many people as possible come! -Chris (Apologies to those who received multiple copies from my cross posting.)

Perl Oasis has traditionally had a very relaxed and open policy on talks[1] making it a perfect opportunity for first time speakers, or to try something new! You can sign up for a talk via the website http://www.perloasis.info/opw2011/newtalk. Additionally this weekend is the last weekend to register at the venue for the negotiated room rate. You can register with the hotel by calling them directly at (866) 716-8105 and letting them know you're with The Perl Foundation. -Chris [1]: We let Matt Trout give "The Troll the God and the Mountain" for the first time ever. We're obviously insane or desperate.
