Hi, Perl & NUUG people!
Just got a mail from Tobias Torrissen (one of the javaBin guys, who
are the people organizing JavaZone,) where he asked if anyone in the
different software communities in Oslo wanted to have a stand at the
conference.
About JavaZone: It's one of the larger yearly Java conferences, and
the largest one in north Europe, drawing more than 2300 people each
year.
http://jz10.java.no/about.html
The conference is *NEXT WEEK* (sep 8-9) so if any of the locals (or
anyone else nearby) want to make this happen, then we'll have to get
hold of any marketing material quickly.
We've been offered a 1m wide/2.5m tall wall section of a 12m2 area
(presumably 3x4m) and will have to share this with other communities
who'd like to show themselves off at JavaZone. We're probably talking
about 7-8 wall sections/communities, but with the short deadline it's
not guaranteed all of them will be used (first come first served, if
necessary.) JavaZone supplies a coffee machine, a somewhat visually
appealing "drop in" setup, and lots and lots of people.
Are there any banners or other useful marketing material available on
short notice?
Oh, and an added bonus: Jonathan Worthington is scheduled to give a
presentation in Oslo for the Norwegian Unix Users Group, titled "Perl
6: For the little tools and the large applications" (About "how
various features of Perl 6 make things easier for those writing one
liners, those writing small tools and those writing much larger
things.")
Jonathan's talk is on september 14th (the tuesday directly after the
conference!) so promoting that talk is probably also a good idea for
creating further visibility around both Perl, Oslo.pm and NUUG. :D
