Next PCC: July 3-4, 2025 in Austin, Texas USA

See entire the post to learn about our future plans, in perpetuity.

The very first Perl Community Conference was a tremendous success thanks to everyone of you authors and speakers. Many thanks to PCC Co-Organizer Will "The Chill" Braswell, our friends at the Diogenes Hackerspace (in Austin, Texas), and all the participants both online and in person! We'll be following up soon about posting the videos. The next stage will be editing and publishing Issue #2 of the Science Perl Journal. The schedule from the Winter'24 PCC should be a clue about some of its contents. We have discussed offering a "Letters to the Editor" section to address feedback from friends and foes alike. More on this will be announced in future posts.

Future Plans in Perpetuity

Please mark your calendars for both July 3rd/4th (USA's birthday) and December 17th/18th (Perl's birthday), starting in 2025 and going forward every year from now on. Our current plan is to continue meeting in Austin until further notice, as it is a central location and we already have all of the conference equipment there.

As you can see from the dates above, we are expanding to a 2-day format starting with our upcoming PCC Summer 2025, which will begin on July 3rd and run through July 4th, finishing in time for people to get home for fireworks if they so choose. Likewise, we will start our PCC Winter 2025 one day early on December 17th and run through December 18th, giving people enough time to get home for their Christmas holiday travel plans etc.

The 2-day format will give us an opportunity to have more talks, as well as more extra-curricular activities. We want to offer things like Perl job fairs, Perl code hackathons, Perl training courses, and also official group activities on the evenings of July 3rd and December 17th, such as a lake cruise or live theater or dinner-and-a-show etc.

So, please set a permanent annual reminder in your calendar now, repeating every July 3-4 and Dec 17-18 - forever. It is safe to assume the location will be Austin, Tx indefinitely. Together we will put Perl back on top!

Sincerely, Brett Estrade (OODLER) Chairman, Science Perl Committee Co-Editor, Science Perl Journal Co-Organizer, Perl Community Conference

After hundreds of hours of work and support from lots of people, the long promised Journal is here. That link will take you to some more information, on there a link to purchase is available. All proceeds go to supporting future Issues and events of the SPC and Perl Community Organization. At this time, an electronic version is not available due to end-of-year time constraints.

It may seem silly, but we spent extra time making sure the book spine looks good on a bookshelf and will look even better as the Issues accrue. Get it while it's hot. ISBN-13: 9798218984748, 152 pages.

Some of us are currently preparing for a block of Science Perl Talks at the London Perl & Raku Workshop 2024. We appreciate the organizers of this event for the opportunity.

More will be posted after the LPW, but the SPC is hosting the Perl Community Conference, Winter 2024 on December 18th (Perl's 37th birthday! :-)). If you are interested in getting published in the next Issue of the SPJ (Winter 2024), we are still accepting extended abstracts, which is up to 1 full page in the Journal and a 5 minute lightning talk slot at the Winter Conference.

NAME

Perl Community Conference / Science Perl Journal, Winter 2024

SYNOPSIS

This virtual Conference on December 18th, 2024 is being called in conjunction with the creation of the Science Perl Journal, Winter 2024 Issue.

We have 6 author committments from some very exciting topics, but we want more! The Summer Issue has 8 authors and is nearly 150 pages. We are looking to double the number of authors, doubling the number of pages is going to be a stretch :-).

DESCRIPTION

Christos Argyropoulos, MD, PhD. is our moderator for this virtual event, which is December 18th, 2024 - Perl's 37th birthday! At this event we will be announcing our Summer 2025 plans, which will include a 3rd Issue of the SPJ.

The following lengths will be accepted for publication and presentation:

• Extended Abstract (1 page, 5 minute lightning talk slot)
• Short paper (2-9 pages, 20 minute speaker slot)
• Full length paper (10-36 pages, 50 minute speaker slot)

If you ever wanted to be a published Perl author, here is your chance - the Science Perl Journal issues have their own ISBNs, papers will be getting their own DOIs, and all contributors are listed as co-authors of the Issue in which they appear.

The main site CFP is here.

You may submit your abstracts here.

SIgn up as an attendee by subscribing to the announcement only email list, here.

YES - we will be presenting the Diamond PERL Editor's Choice of Technical Excellence award for the submission that the Editors vote is best, based on technical merit, completeness, and paper composition style. The virtual presentations are not factored into this decision, so bring your best!
