So that's two people who didn't read the sentence or read the title of
the section. Awesome. At least I can be glad you read the announcement ;)

Dear All,
*TALK DEADLINE*
This is your countdown notice that lets you all know that the deadline for
submitting a talk to the London Perl Workshop is rapidly approaching. This
year the date of Friday the 25th October has been chosen.
The theme for the London Perl Workshop will be Decadon: A Decade of the
London Perl Workshop. It will focus on the past ten years of the London Perl
Mongueurs and the London Perl Workshop, and will focus on the manner in
which Perl is used in the commercial world and the strength of Perl for
development in an enterprise environment; we would also like to see talks on
the usage of Perl in the past 25 years and the evolution of the environment.
You can use any aspect of Perl such as Camelia, Rakudo, Raptor, etc.
Speakers are invited to talk on any subject that relates to this theme,
though we will also accept talks on other subjects.
This year we hope to have access to three Workshop rooms and would like to
run as many workshops as possible to introduce new users to the world of
Perl and to refresh the skills of those wishing to engage with the latest
developments in the Perl world. If you wish to submit a workshop please use
the same submission form as the talks, please note that workshops will be
60, 120 or 240 minutes in length.
*REGISTRATION*
Once again I would like to inform you all that early registration is
incredibly beneficial to the event. It allows us to judge numbers for the
sponsored coffee, snacks and evening social event. Please sign up early and
please help us spread the word.
This year there is a second level to registration. We have tickets. All
attendees need to state what ticket level they would like to have, this
includes speakers. There is no barrier to entry and you should feel free to
take the £0 ticket if you wish to do so. However, we also have 3 ticket
levels above this (£25, £50 and £100) these voluntary ticket amounts wil
contribute directly towards the hosting of this event and if we reach
certain targets other special things in the coming year.
Please make sure you select the ticket you want. We will also be collecting
donations, as per last year, for a number of special Perl projects on the
day.
*SPONSORS*
As always we would like to have as many sponsors as possible, not just for
their valuable contribution to the holding of the event but as participants
at the Workshop.
If you know of anyone who wishes to sponsor the London Perl Workshop please
have them contact Mark as soon as possible.
As always we look forward to seeing you all at the Workshop on the 30th
November. This is the 10th anniversary of the London Perl Workshop and we
should mark this year with a special event.
Regards
Mark Keating
