UPDATE on call for papers extension period. We need Koha/Perl talks at the Perl conference, we have just TWO DAYS LEFT to decide and fill, so please, if you consider or even "just think so", Place a request for a talk and fill in the topic (or contact me for help with that). Details are here: https://perlkohacon.fi/The-Perl-and-Raku-Conference-Las-Vegas-2024.html); the rest we will update together in the upcoming month.
Here is the message from the organizers: *The Perl and Raku Conference: Call for Speakers Renewed* In Las Vegas <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_ijlnDtKa4> from June 24 to 28 (the main conference is from June 25 to 27). We want more speakers, so we are reopening the full call for talks/papers/posters. The new deadline is April 20, midnight Las Vegas time (April 21 07:00 UTC). Now that the national eclipse is not a distraction, please consider submitting a talk (50 minute, or 20 minute) <https://tprc.us/talks> or a scientific paper or poster <https://tprc.us/papers> before the new deadline! https://news.perlfoundation.org/post/tprc2024-call-for-speakers-renewed // Andrii. 🤗 On Tue, Apr 9, 2024 at 12:40 AM Andrii <nug...@gmail.com> wrote: > At the past "Perl and Koha conferences in Helsinki" we made an efficient > effort to interconnect the communities, Per and Koha. > Here is another step to take to improve this: this summer in Las Vegas > (US), June 24-28: > there will be the *most important Perl event in 2024*: "The Perl and Raku > Conference". > I will be representing us there, but that's not enough ;-). > > To increase our Koha presence, interconnection, and respect in the Perl > community, > we need to be represented on this TPRC.us not just by the stand and a few > talks of mine, > but by a bigger Koha track, if possible, at least for a day.
