After three Perl conferences it is time to enlarge the conference and include other, related Open Source technologies as well.

In addition I think it is also time to start inviting people from the neighbouring countries such as Egypt.

In February 2006, we are going to have a 3 day long conference in 3 parallel tracks covering various Open Source fields.

While many talks will be in Hebrew I belive there will be enough talks in English to fill a full track in the conference.

In addition it will be a good opportunity to mix and mangle with fellow Linux users and to meet our other guests.

Keynote Speaker Larry Wall, inventor of Perl

Special Guest Autrijus Tang, Chief Pugs Hacker

For further details please read the full Call for Papers and Participation

I would be happy to see you on the conference Gabor Szabo YAPC::Israel::2006


Mix and "mangle"?

So not only do you want our unwashed perl nerds, you want to mangle with them too?

Gah; no hope for peace in the Middle East.

Good luck with your conference; personally I am pretty sure I don't qualify. I'm a PHB :)

Bit of a challenge, trying to find a way to work PHBs into a perl and developer-oriented conference...

Off the top of my head, no clue. I'm always happy to see FOSS awareness generation, but it'd be something of a stretch given the focus of your conference; maybe a separate event. Us PHBs are always interested in FOSS-business world intersection.

As for this conference, perhaps the non-technical constituency might be interested in a presentation on more general things such as:

  1. What would one use perl for, ideally? When would python be better? When would C be better? &c.
  2. development costs associated with the different languages, possibly focusing on advantages offered by perl (less money for programmers, more expenditure on mountain dew on a per head basis, &c)

Just something to build a bit of awareness at the management level regarding development options and strategies, nicely wrapped up in a bit of perl advocacy if you must.

Make sense?
