YAPC::Europe::2004

The Opening Keynote

We are delighted to annouce that Allison Randal will be giving the opening keynote at YAPC::Europe.

Allison's first geek career was as a research linguist in eastern Africa. But eventually her love of coding seduced her away from natural languages to artificial ones. A Perl programmer by trade, she's the president of The Perl Foundation, a member of the Perl 6 design team, a contributing developer on the Perl 6 compiler, project manager for Perl 6, co-author of "Perl 6 & Parrot Essentials" with Dan Sugalski and Leopold Toetsch, and founder and president of Onyx Neon.

Perl For Profit

YAPC::Europe 2004 will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland, from Wednesday 15th to Friday 17th September.

Our theme will be 'Perl for Profit', so we would encourage you to think of how you have used Perl to make or save money. As previous YAPCs have deviated from their theme, we would also encourage you to use a definition of 'profit' that suits you.

YAPC is an inexpensive conference designed by and for Perl users. YAPC began in the USA, but it is now a series of conferences in different parts of the world.
