[ANNOUNCE] London Perl Workshop 2009

[Steve Purkis]

Hi all,

Thanks for organizing this again, Mark!

BTW, I couldn't see a URL in your post - I presume it's:

http://conferences.yapceurope.org/lpw2009/

You can sign up for the conference there, as well as submit proposals  
for any talks you'd like to do.

Cheers,
+--
   Steve Purkis

PS: not cross-posting incase I'm wrong...
