[Israel.pm News] Perl conference tomorrow

[Gabor Szabo]

Just a reminder, especially for those who are
*not yet* [1] registered to the conference.


Tomorrow, on the 17th of February we are going to have
our 3rd annual Perl Conference, in short YAPC.

The Auction
-----------
At the end of the conference we will sell the
presents we received from various sponsors.
The money we collect will go to The Perl Foundation
http://www.perlfoundation.org/

It will help financing Perl5/Perl6/Parrot development
by providing scholarships to a number of people such
as Larry Wall.

The German Perl Workshop has just raised over 4000 USD
in the last week. For an interesting discussion about the
funds see
http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=05/02/14/1523219&tid=37&tid=42

So while we are smaller than the GPW, I hope we'll be able
to show that we can also suport the future of Perl with a
few dimes.

Bring cash, check and credit card.
