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
