The Frozen Perl 2008 deadline is coming up. I wrote some text that I've been asking folks to forward to their internal work email lists. If those of you out in use Perl land who are reading this could do the same, I'd be most grateful.
The early bird deadline for Frozen Perl 2008 is fast approaching. After midnight Central on Saturday, January 12th, the rate for non-students will double from $20 to $40.
Frozen Perl 2008 is a one-day Perl workshop happening on Saturday, February 16th, in Minneapolis with a great schedule of speakers. The theme is "Perl in Practice", and there are a lot of great talks.
We have two tracks of talks. For folks new to Perl, there is a strong slate of talks for beginners, including introductions to OOP, testing, and more. For more experienced Perlers, there are talks on Moose, Catalyst, and all sorts of interesting Perl wizardry.
Registration includes breakfast and lunch, and possibly a t-shirt, all for the ridiculously cheap price of $20. If you're coming from out of town, there is a group rate at the nearby Days Inn. There will also be an all-day hackathon on Sunday, February 17th for the true geeks.
