The second Pittsburgh Perl Workshop is this weekend, and twice as long as it was last year! There are lots of great talks lined up and even a full day opportunity to get your Perl learn on.
Even if you're not really a Perl person this is a fun time. My Perl status is grandfathered in from earlier jobs and projects so the talks aren't directly relevant to my job. But hanging out with a bunch of smart people together with ideas zipping by a mile a minute is never a bad idea. And throw in free food, you're golden.
See you there.
