Hi! At the Austrian Perl Workshop (see Call for Papers / Participation further down) there will be a day devoted to Parrot.
Leo Toetsch will do a tutorial (in english or german, depending on the number of non-german speeking attendees). The tutorial will be followed by a hopefully productive hacking session.
