Fosdem 2008 Perl Dev room ?

brian_d_foy on 2007-11-24T09:51:00

Fosdem, a major open source event, will be held in Brussels on 23-24 february 2008. Fosdem is known to be a major open source event with key people like Richard M Stallman and Jim Gettys. The conference is build around multiple interest "developers rooms" (There used to be a Python dev room for example)

The "developers room" assignment procedure starts with a call for interest and the organizers ask to send a request form before 26 November 2007. Before actually submitting the request I'd like to poll the Perl Community. Interested speakers and attendees: please send me a private mail mentioning your interest !


Deal

I'll be there. I can do a talk on Memcached.

maybe...

I might come. If I come, I could talk on Exception Handling in Perl, Module::Build, CPANTS, or anything else listed here.

I was also tricked into doing a short talk on Perl 5.10 during the next upcoming Vienna.pm TechMeeting - I could also talks about this at FOSDEM, though my current plan is to read out perl5100delta.pod. So there might be better suited people than me for this topic...

I'd like to come too... so maybe I'll speak about 5.10 :)

Nice idea.

I'm available for a talk on Encodings (but on any schedule call it "Unicode" :-)), but don't yet know which of the two days I will attend.

Excellent Idea

I was thinking of going to FOSDEM next year. This will be a really good excuse.

If you want me to talk about anything, just let me know.
