Hi Andrew,
IMHO you just need to remove the 2010 from the name (see my previous
mail). Then you are free to do whatever you want with the NPW concept.
Meaning organize a Perl workshop in Baltikum whenever it pleases you
and feel free to use this list if you need assistance.
Any objections?

Hi,
Would you please let me ask if you have any standard procedure or such
in terms of defining deadlines. I mean, I'd like to know when the
proposal is marked as accepted or rejected.
Thanks.

Hola,
My point was that:
- NPW is aimed at local community, users and sponsors
So we can have a NPW in Baltikum no problem, it is simply a matter
of JFID.
But at the same time I want to emphasize that it is just a workshop
and any
other party can organize a NPW in 2010 in addition if the local
user base
and potential organizers feel like it, so perhaps it is time to
remove the
year identifier from the name and refer to: NPW <city>.
I am afraid that we are creating a new YAPC, which was never the
idea.
Workshop used to be the general label for these non-YAPC mini
conferences.
The annual scheduling has been good at helping us to keep
continuity, but
expending the area, so we now look at: Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
Finland,
Iceland and Baltikum - will give us at hard time building a
foundation for
continuity for local groups and users. So perhaps the NPW tag
should just be
set free and anybody can organize a NPW.
We could also stick to the annual round-robin scheme and then
organizers
would have to wait their turn or local organizers should organize
something
else, like hackathons etc.
NPW is becoming a good brand and we just need to keep the brand
alive - also
locally.

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.
