T-Shirts for LPW2012
30/10/12 17:47 by Mark Keating (mdk)
The London Perl Workshop is an event entirely supported by sponsorship. As such we do not provide attendees with a printed garment, rather we always have an item prepared and placed on the Shadowcat Spreadshirt site.
If you would like to attend the workshop wearing this year's official outfit then we recommend you head over there and order one soon to ensure it is with you for the day.
Call for Papers Ends on Friday
16/10/12 20:47 by Mark Keating (mdk)
The official end date for the Call for Papers of the London Perl Workshop 2012 will be midnight on Friday 19th October, 2012. That is just 3 short days away.
That's correct, you have just 72 hours to complete the form and submit a talk, or lightning talk for the event. We really recommend that if you want to do a Lightning Talk you use the form as well as there will be very limited time on the day to add in any extra talks.
We are also still looking for people to run introductory, or how to, courses for our workshops. We would particularly like to see workshops on one of the web frameworks or larger Perl project. There are a number of projects to choose from, some of our favourites are: Catalyst - Mojolicious - DBIx::Class - Dancer - Plack - Carton - Template::Toolkit - or you can choose your own.
As always if you have an idea then talk to mark and he is sure to help you.

The T-Shirts Have Landed
12/09/12 15:42 by Mark Keating (mdk)
The t-shirt designs for this year's London Perl Workshop have landed and are available for purchase from Shadowcat Systems' Spreadshirt page.
This year's design features the Perl 5 and Perl 6 logos (Raptor and Camelia) playing pool with appropriate numbers to the theme of 25 years of Perl - with less than subtle visual gags included.
Because the London Perl Workshop is an entirely free to attend event the t-shirts have always been considered an extra that the attendees can choose to buy at their own discretion, though of course we encourage you to do so. If you wish the design on a different item you can do this by using the image from the Spreadshirt' Marketplace or by contact Mark with your request.
