Attention Speakers! We are very interested in hearing about the following subjects at the 2004 Nordic Perl Workshop in Copenhagen:
- Prototyping in Perl - Development in and with Perl - Testing using Perl - Optimization of Perl - Perl in general and Parrot/Perl 6 - Your Favorite Topic? (systems administration / life science / web development)
We will accept various types of presentations:
- Lightning Talks (5-7 minutes) - Standard Talks (30-60 minutes) - Panel Talks (30-90 minutes)
BOFs are expected to appear where and when necessary during the workshop, we will try to accomodate these aswell If you want to attend the workshop as a speaker please send a abstract of your talk (see the submission section below for details).
Lightning Talks
Lightning talks are brief talks that focus on a single example, idea, project, or technique. Lightning talks do not attempt to cover all aspects of their subject matter, but rather to present one facet of the idea clearly and succinctly. Lightning talks are an excellent forum for first-time speakers. To submit a proposal for a lightning talk, please send your proposed title and an abstract of up to four sentences to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. or hand it in at the conference registration.
Standard Talks
A standard talk is the preferred format. This is enough time to start a topic, introduce it with some pithy slides, and open up to later conversation (a BOF?). To submit a proposal for a talk/presentation, please send your proposed title and an abstract to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Submissions are due by 15th. of february midnight (CET). Submitters will be notified by end-of-day 29th. of february. as to whether their talks have been accepted. If your proposal is accepted, you will be expected to confirm within 24 hours that you will give the talk; otherwise, your slot may be given to someone else.
Panel Talks
This is a new kind of talk, with which we hope we will be able to get more in to deep with some subjects. The concept is a talk where the speaker acts more as a moderator and after giving a presentation on the subject, a discussion can commence, the speaker/moderator should invite special "panel- members" and domain experts.
We evaluate submissions for Panel Talks very seriously also because they are on a more experimental level and we might ask the speaker to have a standard talk if we do not find the subject or the submission interesting enough to be able to support a Panel talk.
The speaker/moderator should in the submission list the names of the special invites and is responsible for the invitations personally, we will of course help out where and if we can.
Submission
Please submit your abstracts/papers to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, your paper will be reviewed by our programme committee. If you have something, which does not fit the formats we have listed, please feel free to contacts us anyway and we will evaluate it.
Workshop organizers reserve the right to change the length assigned to a talk, if deemed neccessary. If you want to speak on multiple topics, please submit a seperate proposal for each one.
Together with your abstract or abstracts please include:
A little information about yourself (and possibly an link to an image of your choosing - preferrably yourself) A indication of preferred language and possible languages the presentation can be given in An indication of the length of the presentation A listing of any requirements you might have for doing your presentation apart from projectors, which will be available and we will try to accomodate this.
If possible please have your abstract ready for us for online publishing in one of the following file formats. The files are also accepted just after an ended talk so we can the last minute modifications:
- plain text - HTML - PDF
We take the liberty of filming presentations, if you are not interested in being filmed during your presentation, please let us know in advance.
