This workshop will be held on Wed June 18, 10:05 am. We could draw anywhere from 20-80 participants. On the basis of my experience at the build fests in Toronto and New York, I'd say we should try to get 1 mentor for every 8-12 attendees. If you are willing to work on this with me, please sign up *in advance of YAPC* on our wiki: http://www.perlfoundation.org/parrot/index.cgi?yapc_na_2008 Thank you very much.
