Welcome
The Send-a-Newbie program is designed to enable people go to YAPC who have previously never been to a major Perl event, who are unable to do so by their own means and, hopefully, already involved in some way in the Perl community.
The program was developed by Edmund von der Burg, but as of 2010 the Enlightened Perl Organisation has been the principal managers of the program. Mark Keating has agreed to be the primary contact to take care of the program.
Please see the guidelines for application if you wish to apply, a list of our donations/donators thus far is available. If you would like to donate then please contact Mark using the address send-a-newbie@enlightenedperl.org. Donations can be made right away using the same address through Paypal or using the button below.
It gives me great pleasure to announce that this year, 2011, the Enlightened Perl Organisation will be sending two people to the YAPC::EU::2011 in Riga, Latvia. The two awardees are: Moritz Onken and Manzur Mukhitdinov. In 2010 we were delighted to send Leon Timmermans to YAPC::EU.
