Gabor, Hi Thanks - your detailed response made some order in the plan
I hoped we can get around 15-20 participants, and for start a think about a half day event with these talks 1. Mojolicious 101 ~45 min 2. Test Driven development with Mojolicious ~45 min 3. Why none blocking & Perl ~15min 4. None blocking in real life use Elasticsearch with Mojolicious ~60min Any other talks that can be added would be great and may take it to all day event.... Also I thought of adding some none Perl related staff that is important to web developer - a talk about one of the following - AngularJS - jQuery - Bootstrap Regarding payments - I think to keep it low budget ( as near free as possible ) For now it will be held at MESH (Modiin Entrepreneurs Startup Hub) in Modiin at the second floor As for the date it will have to be after 15/03 no exact date yet Roey On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 1:21 PM, Gabor Szabo <[email protected]> wrote: > 9 people is a lot more than what I ever had when I started to organize any > of the Perl events. > > I'd just use leap of faith.
