Nestoria UK Blog

Fellow Nestorhackers!

as we hinted in our recent Nestoria interview with Mark Keating, we’re going to be sponsoring the London Perl Workshop for the fourth year in a row. This year’s LPW will be on Saturday, December 5th at Westminster University’s New Cavendish Campus.

If past experience is any guide, the day will be a great mix of interesting technical talks ranging from the introductory to the advanced. Hopefully a few members of the Nestoria team will be on the speaker roster as in years past (please let us know if there are any topics you’d particularly like us to cover.

We’ve benefited greatly from the support of the global perl community, and and thankful for the chance to once again participate as a sponsor. We’re also keen to do our part to raise the general level of the event. Specifically we’ll be building on the tradition started last year and awarding prizes based on attendee voting/mob rule in the following categories:

• Best overall talk
• Best topic
• Best lightening talk
• Best new CPAN module of the past year

What the prizes will be exactly remains to be decided, but rest assured winners will be the envy of their perl hacking peers. So get to work on your talk!

Many thanks to the organisers and the other sponsors, and most of all to London’s great perl community. We look forward to seeing everyone there.
