<p>The North West England Perl Mongers will once again be holding a
hackathon in the month of November (Saturday 20th) and we invite
all and sundry (or all and sundried) to attend either in person or
via virtual presence using the aether and our channel. The event
will start at 10.30-11.00 a.m. (GMT) in the physical location, but
may start at any time in the aether. </p>
<p> The event will once agin be hosted in a physical location at the
Shadowcat Systems offices in Lancaster (UK) and all who attend
that event will have access to a range of free snacks, beer and
pizza. If you can only attend in a virtual manner we invite you to
our chat chnanel, northwestengland.pm, on irc.perl.org where you
will be warmly greeted. </p>
<p> The main project for this year will be Oyster, an idea suggested
by osfameron that won the attention at our Lightning Talks meeting
in September. But, we will also be hacking on the next iteration
of the ironman/ironboy codebase (which includes perlanet at its
core), the presentingperl codebase to include enhancements and
updates and suggesting a bug-triage competition for Perl 5 bugs
that can be undertaken by individuals or Perl Monger groups. </p>
<p> If you are interested in attending in person, or wish to attend
virtually then please use the Event Wax sign-up linked to at the
top of this discourse. We hope that as many people as possible
will join in on this day so that we can burn the code trails.
Please contact Mark (mdk) or Ian (idn) for more information and I
hope to talk to you in channel and see you, either physically or
meta-physically on the day. </p>
<p> Please feel free to distribute this information to as wide an
audience as possible. This can include, mailing lists, groups or
other interested parties. Thanks for your help.<br>
