PerlChina is organizing another free one day event of Beijing Perl Workshop this year on September 19th (Saturday). Yes, It is happening one week after the awesome YAPC::Asia and it is only less than 4 hours flight away from Japan. If you have ever been fascinated by the Chinese (the food, the great wall or the great firewall :) or chinese perl hackers), This is an awesome opportunity!

We're also announcing Call For Papers and registration today.

We are looking for 20 and 40 minutes presentations(All things Perl). Register the conference and submit your proposals via the site. Feel free to submit multiple proposals if you want to increase your chance to speak. You are welcome to submit Lighting talks as well and it is not limited by the following deadline.

The deadline for the submissions is Aug 8th, 2009.

thank you for the feedback - that's the exact purpose of this post.

We will make a decision for the timing in few days.

It is confirmed that YAPC::Asia will be on Sep 10-11, 2009 in Tokyo, Japan. (http://conferences.yapcasia.org/ya2009/)

We(PerlChina) are considering to host the beijing Perl Workshop on Sep 19 or 20(Sat or Sun) If there are enough interests from Y::A attendees.

Think about the Great Wall, Fobidden city and awesome Authentic Chinese food, If not Perl. :)

how about setting pace little loose? I thought one has the freedom when not working in a regular job and can call your own shot.

oddmuse is based on usemod. http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/oddmuse/What_Is_Oddmuse

regardless of one big perl file, it meets my requirements. a real world example of oddmuse is emacswiki and it seems to be running fine. http://www.emacswiki.org/

have you try oddmuse? It is also a good choice. very easy to install and stable with lots plug-ins.

I am aware of MojoMojo. But it certainly doesn't meet my requirements - good feature set but installation is no comparison to any of the wikis I mentioned.

I have been having this urge of using a wiki written in Perl for PerlChina. We used instiki(in ruby) before moving to mediawiki(in PHP). Reason why we use mediawiki is because Instiki was not stable at the time, Yahoo China happens to run few mediawiki for other OSS sites so it is easy for them to adopt us.

September is good timing. We (PerlChina) are planning to host another Perl Workshop this year again in Beijing. Maybe We can have it after Y::A and subsequently get more attendees/speakers.

BTW, here is the world wide perl events and looks like September or October is mostly event free so far.

I did feel uncertain about the effect of putting a PR release on PRWeb When I read the blog entry. and I think doing cool thing in Perl and blog about it would do more good.

The problem is that I rarely hear much cool things done in Perl(say mod_wsgi support for Perl) or read about it.

Probably most of the cool things are already done in Perl and People are getting most of the fun doing it in other Newer languages now.

does the "management" know that the metric is meaningless in every way? I hope that's not a real motivation for developers in your team.

It is actually quite easy to separate the build system from krang. I did that and use it in my projects. I have put it on google http://code.google.com/p/btfm/

I have heard so much of this problem.. You know what, The solution is training!
