YAPC::Europe 2013 in Kiev, week minus 24. Booking a hotel and discounts

Hi,

A couple of days ago we launched an incredible service for the attendees of this year's YAPC::Europe in Kiev.

No idea why the anonymous poster did not approve my long comment for his post, having allowed another three comments after mine, so I copy my reply here.

http://yapc.tv is another great start :-)

More on Perl 7

A guy in Moscow.pm mailing list gave another bright idea (RU) of why the "7" would be useful. This will help in communication with a sysadmin when they say in response to a request to install a new version of …
