OK, so except for the German Perl Workshop (which was a great event by the way) I'm going to miss all Perl events this year. I missed YAPC::NA, OSCON and now I'll even miss YAPC::Europe.
I expected to have enough money by then to be able to go, but I am still waiting for the payment of a lot of money and even have to pay for legal costs (attorneys cost a lot of money you know) to get the payment of my work in January. And even then it's not certain I'll get it all.
So this will be a YAPC-less year for me :(
In the mean time I'm still busy with The Perl Academy. I've done a mailing to some 200 companies that might be interested in having Perl trainings, but the response is not really overwhelming. I'll have until the end of this month to be able to cancel my reservations of the classrooms (or else I'll have to pay the whole amount they would cost if I actually use them, which is not my intention...). Maybe a more direct approach is nessecary to find customers...
Anyway, let's see what these days in August will bring...
