Sadly the Dutch Perl Workshop or Nederlandse Perl Workshop is over. :(
Even though I was very tired to begin it all with the event was a lot of fun.
The workshop itself was just on friday, but on thursday evening we worked until 01:00 to get the network working. At the event location, Hotspot wireless was provided by the ‘StayOkay’, but this only allowed traffic over port 80 and 443, and was just crappy. So we connected a spare laptop to cisco switch + accespoints we could borrow and let that route all traffic over a OpenVPN link to a freshly setup Virtual Server. Worked like a charm.
On friday the day started early with the first talk at 9.15 (10 minutes late, as was planned :). With a few breaks for coffee/tea and lunch in the afternoon, we had one full track of talks ranging from 5 to 20 minutes. Topics where diverse aswell, from in-depth perl hacks to generic coding strategies and application showcases. A lot of fun, but quite intense.
At the end of the day we had an auction for the Perl Promotion foundation, which organises the event and a fun quiz featuring obscure Perl issues.
Dinner was included and tasty, and the rest of the evening was filled with discussions, playing fluxx and drinking whiskey or beer.
I’d say I can’t wait until next year, but since I’m quite exhausted from this one, I can now :)
I took some pictures with my Practica MTL3, as soon as the film is developed, I’ll post some here.
