If you've never given a talk at a conference, give it a try in Granada. Remember that the main theme for the conference is Art and Engineering. There's a lot to say about both, so look for a twist in that direction if possible, and send us your proposal by June 30.
]]>This feature has several benefits that may seem obvious but are important anyway:
Thus, please help make YAPC Europe in Granada a big success and choose your favourite talks. Thanks!
]]>Do you want to be part of it too? You can still register the conference and the master classes, submit talk proposals, or organize a hackathon. Find the details on the conference website.
]]>See full details on prices and dates.
]]>There already almost 30 talks accepted that amount more than 15 hours of interesting stuff for the more than 100 people that have already registered. What are you waiting to submit your proposal?
Would you like to organize any kind of training course instead? Please, see our call for instructors.
]]>On the other hand, we're very pleased to announce that Larry and Gloria accepted our invitation to come to Granada in September. We hope we'll see you there, too.
]]>We also encourage you to be in Granada by Tuesday September 1st: we will be having other interesting events to warm up before the conference. For instance, if you'd like to use the venue to organize a meeting, a hackathon or a workshop just drop us a line.
In any case, make sure you don't miss the pre-conference meeting on Tuesday evening.
]]>The organization team members are currently from Granada.pm, Madrid.pm and Barcelona.pm, but we'd like to invite the Cloud Orga team that worked so well this year to get involved too. We plan to keep on using #yapceu channel on irc.perl.org for contact and co-ordination, but we have a Google group that you may want to join. The conversations on that list are mainly in Spanish but you are welcome to participate in English, if you prefer. Please, send a message to request an invitation to the list.
We'll be posting news on this blog and twitter in order to keep you updated on our progress. Once we have the Act instance in production, we'll publish most important news there too.
Cheers and see you in Granada!
]]>You should have received an email from Barbie with an invitation to complete the YAPC::Europe 2014 Survey:
As an attendee of YAPC::Europe 2014, we would like to invite you to participate in the online conference surveys. Whether you are an attendee, speaker or sponsor, we would like to get your feedback regarding any talks and tutorials you attend, as well as the conference itself, with the aim of helping to improve the conference experience for future attendees.
Please shout at the organisers or email barbie[at]missbarbell.co.uk if you have any problems completing this, or did not receive an email with your keycode!

Hope you can join us!
]]>This year we will be starting the conference with a meet and greet session. We want everyone to get the most out of their time at YAPC and we are hoping that by setting time aside specifically so that people can introduce themselves to people they don't know that our conference will get off to a fantastic start.
Looking forward to speaking to you soon!
]]>It will be possible to submit a Lightning Talk proposal during the conference as at least two speaking spots on days 2 and 3 will be held open until the day before the talks to give you a chance to see something at the conference and put together a Lightning Talk response. As there will be fewer spots available during the conference we recommend that you submit your proposal as soon as you can.
If you would like more information about Lightning Talks please read R Geoffrey Avery's detailed description on the conference website.
]]>This isn't a talk about Perl; it's a talk about how we're changing the world and how the world is sitting up and noticing.
Ovid will cover the gamut of human civilisation from hunter/gatherer tribes to Valve software in a fascinating call to arms about hierarchies and innovation.
"What shall we do tonight, mst?"
"Same thing we do every night: Try to conquer the world"
Your yearly breakneck survey of the Perl community, language and culture. Heartwarming, earthy, loud.
This is the joy in what we do
Sawyer presents a journey through consciousness and reality itself via puzzles, the craft of programming, and flathunting. Unmissable.
YAPC::EU is a great place to meet face to face with others in the community that share your interests, even non-Perl ones. To make it easier for you organise these informal gatherings - known as BoFs - we have created a page on the wiki.
Fancy getting together to watch the premier of the new season of Dr Who, going for a run, or discussing the future of Act (A Conference Toolkit? Then sign-up now!
If none of the current BoFs interest you then please feel free to make your own suggestions for a meet-up on the wiki and help us make the conference even better.

We've tried our hardest to balance the wealth of topics that our lovely speakers have proposed. But please let us know if you notice any issues with scheduling, as we will be fine-tuning this over the next weeks.
