I was just writing a draft for a plan for our next workshop, so just in comparison I outlined the timeline for the Scandinavian Perl Workshop:
The Workshop was realized in about 3 months...
but felt like it had been planned considerable further in advance, by someone experienced in organising such events.
I'm looking forward to attending the next one, although I don't think there is anything I particularly feel a burning urge to talk about. Hopefully there will be atendees from Finland in 2004.
