Somewhat Disappointed

[ #25131 ]

We are attempting to arrange a Perl event in Copenhagen (next week) called PerlDag (PerlDay), you can see more at: http://www.perldag.dk/2005/ due to the postponing of the Nordic Perl Workshop.

The event is a week away and we do not have enough papers to fill in the slots we need, so I have been mailing high and low to get some more talks.

We have a lot of people who have indicated interest in participating and we have the sponsors we need, it bothers me that what might kill the event is a lack of technical content.

We attempted to annouce this event on use.perl quite some time ago, but it is still pending. This would probably not have any influence on the number of papers/talks, but I am disappointed that use.perl, which is kind of the bulletin board of the Perl community is not addressing our story, if it should not be approved then disapprove it - just make a decision.

  • I am disappointed that use.perl, which is kind of the bulletin board of the Perl community is not addressing our story, if it should not be approved then disapprove it - just make a decision.

    Comments made on IRC suggest that there have been some technincal problems with stories getting lost in the submission queue, but I think this is only part of the problem. I infer that the main problem is that the existing use.perl editors are busy people with too many other projects, and don't have the time to pay

  • We recored the talks auf Autrijus, Chip and Leo at the Austrian Perl Workshop. I haven't looked at it yet so I can say nothing about the kwalite^wquality of the recordings. But if you're interested (and desperate :-) I can send them to you and you can show them...

      Not sure if you're offering this to jonasbn, or if you're just looking for someone out there to host the files. I have room to host if that's all you're looking for (although I'd want to ping each speaker first to be sure they were ok with that).

      • Oh, I'm offering it to the world...

        Asking the speakers for permission is a good idea :-)

        Before finding a place to host them I'll have to convert the files a bit etc. I should also watch them to check the quality.

        WRT hosting, I'll think I put them on the Vienna.pm site. But if you can provide a mirror that would be cool!
    • I have talked to Autrijus, he considers coming by Copenhagen, but thanks for the offer :)

  • I recall speaking to someone about some ad-hoc event, but I can't recall who now. :(

    I'm in town for MacMania 3.5 [geekcruises.com], and will overnight both the night before and after the cruise, to better coordinate my international flights.

    Oh, and if anyone knows the best way to kill 6 hours at CGD, please let me know! I've got a sad layover.
