Hello Perl web programmers,
the organisers of the [Plat_Forms
contest](http://plat-forms.org/platforms-2012) have published the call
for application. See the [announcement
overview](http://plat-forms.org/platforms-2012-announcement#overview)
for why this contest is very important for the community as a whole.
Once again, Perl's esteem is at stake. ☺ Up to 4 teams comprised of 3
members each are needed to represent our favourite programming
language. Like in the preceding contests in 2007 and 2011, the Perl
teams are likely self-organised and not company-backed. To facilitate
that, I have set up [a page on the official Perl 5
wiki](https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/events_2012_plat_forms).
Action required:
1. Communicate as you see fit and form more teams.
2. Post summaries to the wiki page to keep everyone updated.
3. Fill in the [application Web
form](http://plat-forms.org/platforms-2012-application).
