(This is a blatant copy of Vienna.pm's announcement for the Austrian Perl Workshop 2005, let's remake it for our purposes.)

Nordic Perl Workshop 2009
---------------------------

The Nordic Perl Workshop will take place in the premises of 
[TBD] in Oslo and is organised by Oslo.pm.

The workshop offers Perl users of all experiences (from newbie to pumpking):

    * the opertunity to learn, teach and chat.
    * contact to Austrian and international Perl developers.
    * insights in methods and practices of other programmers
    * interesting, amusing and instructive talks.
    * a few nice days in the centre of Oslo.
    * and all the other amenities of real-live meetings. 

The main theme is 'using Perl' - where and in which applications is Perl used?
There will be a track of short talks where everybody is invited to present
what s/he is using Perl for.
