Korean Perl Workshop 2008

The Korean Perl Workshop 2008 took place in Seoul on 23rd August; its topic was "Rising Perl". The Korean Perl Mongers are already very active, meeting every week for seven hours to study the language. But this was their first Perl workshop, and I'm very happy to learn that my talk about Perl in Japan and Korea inspired them to do it. Apparently 70 people attended, but they could have had 300 if the venue was big enough.

You can also see the presentations and slides. Of course, most of the slides are in Korean and are written in Hangul, but if you can read Hangul, you will be able to make out certain keywords. Hangul is really easy to learn too — it's just an alphabet, based around syllables.

I've suggested that it might be a nice idea to have another Korean Perl Workshop maybe a week before or after YAPC::Asia 2009. This way you could see Perl events in both Japan and Korea, which to me sounds very interesting and appealing.

Actually, the TwinCity Perl Workshop was advertised as the 100th Perl conference ever, but that was before Philippe Bruhat (BooK), the conference list maintainer, has learned about the Korean Perl Workshop. So now it seems that the Korean Perl Workshop was the 100th Perl conference. I had only mentioned it to BooK because I was not sure whether he was aware of it, but this inadvertently relegated the TwinCity Perl Workshop to 101st place; a fact that will surely not help in making me popular with the TwinCity Perl Workshop organisers…
