Just in case you like to know, I'm currently full-time father of 2 kids, half-time Perl hacker, sort-of DJ, bicyclist, no longer dreadlocked and 33 years old
I'm also head of Vienna.pm [pm.org], maintainer of the CPANTS [perl.org] project, member of the TPF Grants Commitee [perlfoundation.org] and the YAPC Europe Foundation [yapceurope.org].
I've got stuff on CPAN [cpan.org], held various talks [domm.plix.at] and organised YAPC::Europe 2007 in Vienna [yapceurope.org].
Vienna.pm vs London.pm
The short story
After seeing London.pm take over the YAPC::Europe 2008 stats again, I suggested starting a group called not_London.pm, which should be able to beat London.pm on the scoreboard. Due to a traitor on #austria.pm, Greg learned of this plan and consequently declared war on Vienna.pm (As a point of order, I regard the formation of !London.pm as the act of war - Greg). Which we of course accepted.
The "war" will take place at YAPC::Europe 2008 in Copenhagen and consist of three rounds of battle, "fought" by the leaders of each group, that is Greg McCarroll for London.pm and Thomas Klausner for Vienna.pm
- Playing a cowbell version of guitar hero (To be created by domm and Greg) while drinking white wine between rounds (Austrians have a high tolerance for this apparently - Greg).
- A cooking contest
- Arm wrestling

Looking at the 3 rounds of battle I have a few comments.
1. Playing a cowbell version of guitar hero (To be created by domm and Greg) while drinking white wine between rounds (Austrians have a high tolerance for this apparently - Greg).
As for the cowbell battle, this will most certainly break several international conventions, so we will attempt to provide innocent bystanders with the proper protective
