Well, two reasons really - it's a little far for me to travel there from New Zealand, and I'll be in a fairly remote part of Fiordland in any case.

However, best wishes for a great event!

I've attended the last 2 years but will not be this year. The main reason is I left it too late and now the transport and accomodation are going to be too expensive. For some reason I forgot it is usually in November but I did not see anything about it to remind me until recently.

The fact that I am already over 1000 emails behind on the perl5-porters mailing list shows that I am way too busy with $work …

So, lack of time, not lack of tuits. If my boss agrees, I'd like to come next year.

Next year for sure, since I can use my cousins house in London as a base! =)

But I have to admit that a summer date would be more attractive ...
