title: French Perl Workshop
summary: In which we start to talk about FPW 2011.
---
I joined the organization team for the next French Perl Workshop, which should take place in Paris in June. I'll help the existing team (composed of Laurent Boivins, Sebastien DeSeille and [maddingue](http://twitter.com/maddingue)) and also the newcomers ([cmaussan](http://twitter.com/cmaussan) and [eiro](http://github.com/eiro)).

We've already decided to organize it in Paris, since last year it was in [Calais](http://journeesperl.fr/fpw2010/), and the idea is to organize once every two years in Paris. We don't have yet a venue and a date, but we will try to keep you informed about this.

The main theme should be "Modern Perl", and we would like to reach a wider audience than previous years: people who are not yet in the Perl community, as well as some foreigners (hey, Paris is a beautiful city).

I'll try to communicate about our progress at least once a month, and find reasons to motivate you to come! :)
