The year of travel

Last November, I went to Canberra for a week. That would be unremarkable, but it looks to start the busiest 3.5 months of travel so far in my life. I think this will be the busiest 12 months too.

So week of training in Canberra, week home working on my OSDC talk. Then first week of December in Sydney for OSDC. Week home to recover. Week in Perth for training. 2 weeks off for Christmas and New Years. Another week in Perth for more training (different client). Week home to prepare for LCA. This week and half of next in Hobart for LCA. Home for a week and a half (in time for my birthday). Then off to New Zealand for a week and a half (Wellington, Rotorua, Auckland, Warkworth), home for a day, then to Newcastle/Maitland for a week and a day. I think that gets me back to Melbourne by the 25th February. That's 6.5 weeks home and just over 8 away.

If everything goes well, we'll be off to Sydney for the second week of March too, and so on for at least one week a month until June. From mid-June to late August/early September I hope to be off overseas for more conferences, holiday etc. In particular I hope to get to:

  • YAPC::NA
  • OSCON
  • YAPC::EU
  • Any European Perl mini-confs/workshops which are proximate to YAPC::EU

Wow.

If you will be running something in North America between mid-June and the end of July, and you might like Paul and/or I to speak at it; please contact us. If you will be running something in Europe between early August to early September etc, please contact us.

If you want to host us any nights on our journey, that could be awesome too.
