At the Austrian Perl Workshop (see Call for Papers / Participation further
down) there will be a day devoted to Parrot.

Leo Toetsch will do a tutorial (in english or german, depending on the
number of non-german speeking attendees). The tutorial will be followed by a
hopefully productive hacking session.

So if you're interested in some f2f Parrot stuff, visit us in Vienna!

And if you're also interested in general Perl issues, or even want to do a
talk on one topic or the other, even better!
