Welcome to YAPC::EU Newbies!
22/07/10 22:51 by peppe
While we're getting ready for YAPC::EU in just a few weeks' time, we wanted to say hello not just to the old friends and familiar faces from previous conferences, but also to the many attendees for whom this will be their first YAPC, or possibly even the first Perl event they've attended!
Though some of you may be coming with colleagues or friends, if you don't know many people here, it can take a while to get into the swing of things, and get the most out of YAPC.
We've got some community leaders from some of the biggest groups present at the conference to say hello at the end of this email. If you're from Italy, UK, Germany, Austria, Spain, or Denmark (or just want to meet hackers from those countries) then please go and say hi to them, and they'll make sure to help you get started meeting people, and sorting out any problems.
Obviously, we'll all do our best to help everyone along. And feel free to mention to the organizers that it's your first YAPC when you're registering!
And don't forget:
- the conference dinner is on the first night of the conference. This is the perfect opportunity to break the ice and make friends!
- Look out for meetings and "BOF" (Birds of a Feather) sessions that interest you! These will be advertised at the opening session, and at the registration desk.
Italia
Ciao, e benvenuto a YAPC::Europe! La regola numero uno di YAPC::Europe è: non siate timidi! YAPC::Europe è un ottimo modo per conoscere gente nuova, allargare i propri orizzonti culturali, imparare i mille e uno trucchi delle regex e metter su quattro chili!
Durante la conferenza potete rivolgervi a uno qualunque degli organizzatori, quelli con la maglietta rossa, parlano tutti italiano e sapranno darvi qualche informazione e presentarvi a un po' di gente.
Qualche nome del nostro staff al quale potete fare riferimento:
- Michele Beltrame (arthas)
- Aldo Calpini (dada)
- Hakim Cassimally (osfameron)
- Gianni Ceccarelli (dakkar)
- Giuseppe D'Angelo (peppe)
- Marco Masetti (grubert)
- Flavio Poletti (polettix)
Buon divertimento!

And don't forget the London.pm social meeting on Thursday!
Deutschland
Wenn du Kontakt zu anderen Perl-Programmierern suchst, sprich doch einfach einen deutschen Perl Monger an! Viele von uns sind in Pisa, und gerne bereit, dich anderen Leuten vorzustellen, dir weiter zu helfen, oder abends mal ein kuehles Getraenk zusammen zu vernichten. Wende dich an
- Steffen Schwigon, Dresden Perl Mongers, ss5@renormalist.net;
- Moritz Lenz, Erlagen.pm, irc://irc.perl.org/#perlde nickname 'moritz', moritz@faui2k3.org (wird zumindest zeitweise mit einem knallbunten T-Shirt mit einem Schmetterling drauf herumlaufen)
Österreich
Zum ersten Mal auf einer YAPC? Viele der Teilnehmer bisher nur virtuell getroffen? Auch bei dieser YAPC::EU sind einige Perl Mongers aus Österreich dabei, die “newbies” gerne zur Seite stehen, auch wenn es z.B. nur darum geht, gemeinsam einen interessanten Konferenztag abends ausklingen zu lassen. Kontakt: Michael Kröll pepl@cpan.org, irc://irc.perl.org/#austria.pm
