Hi, Nordic Perl Workshop people :) NPW+OSDC.no is done!
I'd like to share one thing with you from this event. During the speaker's dinner we announced that any proceeds (profits) from the conference would be transferred to the next OSDC.no. We'll most likely be setting up a nonprofit for this purpose. We're not entirely sure yet how much the proceeds wille be, or decided on the rules for managing the funds, but we *have* intended OSDC.no to be a Nordic event, including letting it be organized in other cities - much like NPW is doing now.
To put it in another way, we've from the beginning considered the .no in OSDC.no to stand for .nordic, and we have and are prepared to help make this real.
So, without promising anything *now*, I'd like to propose keeping NPW and OSDC as "coupled" events. But that would of course only be done if you guys think this is a good idea. :)
I'm happy to report that Oslo.pm has now organized the 13th NPW; We tried a bunch of new things, and some of them we were happy with, others less. I'll be writing up some thoughts about this soon. In sum, I think it went pretty well (although NPW+OSDC.no was not as big as we had hoped), and now it's someone else's turn to organize it. :D
So let's look at the NPW history, and consider options. 2015 Oslo 2014 Helsinki 2013 Copenhagen 2012 Stockholm 2011 Malmö 2010 Reykjavik 2009 Oslo 2008 Stockholm 2007 Copenhagen 2006 Oslo 2005 Stockholm 2004 Copenhagen 2003 Copenhagen What do you think? - Salve -- #!/usr/bin/env perl sub AUTOLOAD{$AUTOLOAD=~/.*::(\d+)/;seek(DATA,$1,0);print# Salve Joshua Nilsen getc DATA}$"="'};&{'";@_=unpack("C*",unpack("u*",':50,$'.# <s...@foo.no> '3!=0"59,6!`%%P\0!1)46%!F.Q`%01,`'."\n"));eval "&{'@_'}"; __END__ is near! :)
