Crossposted: catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk, dancer-users@perldancer.org, mojolicious@googlegroups.com, http://perl-community.de/bat/poard/thread/15495 Hello Perl web programmers, the organisers of the [Plat_Forms contest](http://plat-forms.org/) have published the call for application. See the [announcement overview] (http://plat-forms.org/platforms-announcement#overview) for why this contest is very important for the community as a whole. Perl's esteem is at stake. ☺ Up to 4 teams comprised of 3 members each are needed to represent our favourite programming language. Like in the preceding contest in 2007, the Perl teams are likely self-organised and not company- backed. To facilitate that, I have set up [a page on the official Perl 5 wiki] (https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/index.cgi?events_2011_plat_forms). Action required: 1. Communicate as you see fit and form more teams. 2. Post summaries to the wiki page to keep everyone updated. 3. Fill in the [application form](http://plat- forms.org/sites/default/files/Plat_Forms-applicationform.pdf) and snail-mail it to the organisers.
