As announced on the Shadowcat news page a couple of weeks ago I have joined the organisers for the Perl Quality Assurance Hackathon which will be held on the 16th-18th April 2011 in the European city of Amsterdam. The major sponsors this year are Booking.com who have provided generous funds and rooms in their Amsterdam offices for the event to take place. As in previous years the guests attending will have their travel and accommodation provided for them, the event seeks to bring the best talent together to focus on developing a higher degree of quality on a variety of systems and projects.
The latest announcement covers the fact that the call for participation has now ended are there are a total of twenty-nine participants for the event. Erica at Booking.com has now took on the task of finding suitable accommodation for those that need it and the other organisers have started to look for funds to cover the costs.
If you would like to become a sponsor then visit http://2011.qa-hackathon.org/qa2011/wiki?node=Sponsors, we seek sponsorship from organisations and individuals (no contribution is either too large or too small), the organisers have already approached YEF, Paris Perl Mongers, the Vienna Perl Mongers and the Enlightened Perl Organisation at this current time.
It is a great privilidge to work with the other organisers to bring this event to the community for a fourth consecutive year following events in Oslo (2008), Birmingham (2009) and Vienna (2010), the event is a great benefit to the community and enhances a wide range of programmes. I should be appearing at the event as part of the organising team with Shadowcat Systems sponsoring my travel costs.
