I am actually more keen on the idea of a Baltic Perl Workshop, traveling between the 3 countries. I am not saying that we will not promote it and a lot of people will probably attend.

I'd love to see NPW include the Baltic states.

I got the impression that the Baltics are quite interested in moving closer to the nordic countries, and with the long history they have with especially Finland, Sweden and Denmark, I think it would be nice to let them arrange a Nordic Perl Workshop. Let's welcome them into the community with open arms. :)

Of course, if the locals (should we find someone willing) rather would call it a Baltic Perl Workshop, I think that's fine too. But saying they can't call it NPW because of some old history or notion of what's "Nordic" just reeks old-school (cold war) politics, IMO.

But in the end, the locals who organize such an event should make the decision themselves, and if they would like to use the NPW name, we should allow it.

We made a rule that NPW should be in the Nordic countries, and we can change this rule just as easy as we can make it.
