Hackeriet is a hackerspace in Oslo. Hackerspaces are community-operated physical places, where people share their interest in tinkering with technology, meet and work on their projects, and learn from each other.

Nordic Perl Workshop 2018 Call for Papers

Thu, 19 Apr 2018 18:23:26 +0000

Nordic Perl Workshop & Mojoconf 2018 will be held in Oslo, on September 6th and 7th.

The conference topic is “Perl in the cloud”, with focus on web development, and deployment methods. We are pleased to announce that we will have members from the Mojolicious core team attending and a track dedicated to the Mojolicious real-time web framework.

Ticket information

We’re interested in hearing about your talks on these topics:

Web development with the Perl and/or the Mojolicious Web Framework
Perl & Containers
Using Perl in Cloud Infrastructure
Perl used in new and novel ways
Relevant cross-language and web-development talks
Other relevant Perl talks

We accept these presentation types:

Standard Talks (45 minutes)
Short Talks (20 minutes)
Lightning Talks (5 minutes)

There will also be opportunity for Birds-of-a-Feather sessions during the workshop. If you want to attend the workshop as a speaker, please send an abstract of your talk - see the submission section below for details.

Standard and Short Talks

A standard talk is the preferred format. This gives enough time to introduce a topic, presenting it with some slides and a coverage of the main points leading up to later, hopefully more in-depth, discussions (possibly at a BOF). For special subjects which require more time, we may schedule an Extended Talk instead. If you really can’t fill the full 45 minutes, feel free to submit a short talk.

Lightning Talks

Lightning talks are brief talks that focus on a single example, idea, project, or technique. The purpose is not to cover all aspects of the respective topics, but rather to present a facet of the idea clearly and succinctly. Lightning talks are an excellent forum for first-time speakers. Due to the time- constraint on lightning talks (5 min), we recommend that you either abstain from using slides, or have a presentation setup that you can set up in just a few seconds. In addition, we recommend that you bring a backup of your slides on a USB drive, or have it available on a website.

Submission

To submit a proposal for a talk/presentation, please register your proposed title and an abstract through npw2018.oslo.pm/npw2018/newtalk.

Submissions are due on June 1th 2018. Submitters will be notified within two weeks whether or not their talks have been accepted. If your proposal is accepted, you will be expected to confirm within 48 hours that you in fact will give the talk; otherwise, your slot may be given to someone else.

If you have something which does not fit the formats listed please feel free to contact us anyway and we will evaluate it.

Please include the following with your abstract(s):

A little information about yourself (and possibly an link to an image of your choosing - preferably of yourself).
An indication of preferred language and possible languages the presentation can be given in.
The expected minimum level of knowledge of your target audience (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced)
An indication of the length of the presentation.
A listing of any requirements you might have for doing your presentation.

We will try to accommodate your request. Projectors and internet connection will be available for all talks.

If possible, please include a link to your slides/paper ready for online publishing. The files are also accepted just after talk ends, so we can include any last minute modifications.

We take the liberty of filming presentations. If you are not interested in being filmed during your presentation, please let us know in advance.

Here is what we can offer for your lecture: (does not apply for lightning talk speakers)

Free admittance
A chance to meet a lot of Perl people
If you have any special requests which have to do with fee and payment please contact us at npw2018@oslo.pm.

Thank you; we hope you will participate either as a speaker or as an attendee.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact us npw2018@oslo.pm

Konferansen avholdes 6-7. september, i Oslo. Som den største årlige konferansen av sin sort i Norden samler den 80-100 deltagere. Målgruppen vil være alt fra studenter til meget erfarne programmerere, og hovedtema for årets konferanse er “Perl i Skyen”.

Hensikten med konferansen er å utvide kunnskapen om programmerings- språket Perl og dets nytte i nordiske utviklingsmiljøer, samt å vise frem mye av det nye og spennende som skjer på Perl-fronten for tiden. For å få til et vellykket arrangement trenger vi din støtte til:

Transport og opphold for kjente foredragsholdere med formål å heve fagnivået på konferansen.
Produksjon av konferanse-skjorter og trykksaker.
Andre forefallende utgifter.

Til gjengjeld kan vi tilby:

Muligheten til å bli en aktiv deltager i et større fagmiljø for Perl-utviklere.
Navn og logo på konferansens websider og i trykksaker.
Plass til å vise frem materiale i utstillingsområdet.
Egen stand i fellesområdet.
Gratis adgang til arrangementet for ansatte.
Dele ut reklamemateriell på konferansen, selv eller via arrangørene.
Plakat/banner i auditoriene under sponsede foredrag.
Auditorium ‘oppkalt’ etter firmaet.
Muligheten til å invitere spesielle foredragsholdere, mot reise og opphold for disse.

For mer informasjon, se konferansens websider, oslo.pm/npw2018.

Med din hjelp blir dette en glimrende konferanse!
