Many cities around the world have local Perl Mongers chapters. A Perl Mongers chapter is a local user group which typically holds regular in-person meetings, both social and technical; helps organize local conferences, workshops, and hackathons; and provides a mailing list or other continual contact method for its members to keep in touch.To find your local Perl Mongers (or PM as theyre commonly abbreviated) group check the international Perl Mongers directory at <http://www.pm.org/>.
Perl workshops are, as the name might suggest, workshops where Perl is taught in a variety of ways. At the workshops, subjects range from a beginners introduction (such as the Pittsburgh Perl Workshops Zero To Perl) to much more advanced subjects.There are several great resources for locating workshops: the websites mentioned above, the calendar mentioned below, and the YAPC Europe website, <http://www.yapceurope.org/>, which is probably the best resource for European Perl events.
Hackathons are a very different kind of gathering where Perl hackers gather to do just that, hack nonstop for an extended (several day) period on a specific project or projects. Information about hackathons can be located in the same place as information about workshops as well as in <irc://irc.perl.org/#perl>.If you have never been to a hackathon, here are a few basic things you need to know before attending: have a working laptop and know how to use it; check out the involved projects beforehand; have the necessary version control client; and bring backup equipment (an extra LAN cable, additional power strips, etc.) because someone will forget.
Perl has two major annual conventions: The Perl Conference (now part of OSCON), put on by OReilly, and Yet Another Perl Conference or YAPC (pronounced yap-see), which is localized into several regional YAPCs (North America, Europe, Asia) in a stunning grassroots display by the Perl community. For more information about either conference, check out their respective web pages: OSCON <http://conferences.oreillynet.com/>; YAPC <http://www.yapc.org>.A relatively new conference franchise with a large Perl portion is the Open Source Developers Conference or OSDC. First held in Australia it has recently also spread to Israel and France. More information can be found at: <http://www.osdc.com.au/> for Australia, <http://www.osdc.org.il> for Israel, and <http://www.osdc.fr/> for France.
The Perl Review, <http://www.theperlreview.com> maintains a website and Google calendar (<http://www.theperlreview.com/community_calendar>) for tracking workshops, hackathons, Perl Mongers meetings, and other events. Views of this calendar are at <http://www.perl.org/events.html> and <http://www.yapc.org>.Not every event or Perl Mongers group is on that calendar, so dont lose heart if you dont see yours posted. To have your event or group listed, contact brian d foy (brian@theperlreview.com).
