UPDATE on call for papers extension period. We need Koha/Perl talks at the
Perl conference,
we have just TWO DAYS LEFT to decide and fill, so please, if you consider
or even "just think so",
Place a request for a talk and fill in the topic (or contact me for help
with that). Details are here:
https://perlkohacon.fi/The-Perl-and-Raku-Conference-Las-Vegas-2024.html);
the rest we will
update together in the upcoming month.

Here is the message from the organizers:

*The Perl and Raku Conference: Call for Speakers Renewed*

In Las Vegas <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_ijlnDtKa4> from June 24 to
28 (the main conference is from June 25 to 27).

We want more speakers, so we are reopening the full call for
talks/papers/posters. The new deadline is April 20, midnight Las Vegas time
(April 21 07:00 UTC). Now that the national eclipse is not a distraction,
please consider submitting a talk (50 minute, or 20 minute)
<https://tprc.us/talks> or a scientific paper or poster
<https://tprc.us/papers> before the new deadline!
