Hi, I read that there are some plans to submit an application for a Dancer team to the Plat Forms contest that will take place in January in Nürnberg, Germany http://www.plat-forms.org/ In the new Perl Ecosystem Group http://perl-ecosystem.org/ we would like to help the teams by providing some modest financial help to cover the traveling and accomodation expenses of the participants. In order to be able to provide that and maybe to go and ask companies to provide further help I'll need to know if the team is ready and what is the financial needs of the individuals that need to be covered. So please update the wiki page at https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/index.cgi?events_2011_plat_forms with information regarding the team. If you are committed or not or if you are committed on condition that you can get X EUR to cover your expenses. Please do it ASAP as the application dead-line is 2010-11-30 and if I understand there need to be at least 3 Perl groups in order for the language to be accepted in the contest. regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo                     http://szabgab.com/ Perl Ecosystem Group       http://perl-ecosystem.org/
