The Perl QA Hackathon 2012 is taking place from Friday, March 30th to Sunday, April 1st 2012 in Paris, France. Attendance is free. Attendees work on a wide variety of tools for the benefit of Perl and all who use it. The more people they have present, the more Perl will improve. Projects on the itinerary include the Perl build toolchain and many tools around CPAN.

Registration will close on January 31st, 2012, so signup sooner rather than later.

You can also propose other people who should be invited. As with past years, they aim to fund the travel and accommodation costs for those who cannot otherwise get funding.

Sponsors required

Sponsoring the event is not reserved to organizations and corporations:if you think the Hackathon is useful to the Perl community, but cannot attend yourself, you can still contribute to the success of the event by making a donation. Even small donations will help and would be greatly appreciated.
