Regarding London Perl Workshop 2015 specifically, please answer the following as best you can.

When did you decide to come to this conference?

• After London Perl Workshop 2014
• Attend in past, looked for 2015 event

Were you a speaker?

Note that "similar conferences" includes other Workshops and/or YAPCs, as well as Linux, Open Source or large technical events.

If you were a speaker, would you have been able to attend if you hadn't been speaking?

If you weren't a speaker, would you consider speaking at a future conference?

What was your motivation for coming?

• Perl 6

What aspects of the conference do you feel gave value for money?

• its always good.

What kinds of talks would you prefer at future London Perl Workshops?

Are there any topics you would specifically like to see featured?

• I appreciate it is hard to capture and satisfy every one's requirements. I have been using Perl for about 20 years, I have never used a CPAN library as I only use Perl to help run a database system. Appreciating that everyone's perception is different, it would be helpful/useful (particularly for newbies) if the standard of the talks could be coded (level 1 - easy | level 2 - intermediate | level 3 - advanced) on the day's schedule.
• More: Mojo, Dancer, DBIx::Class, deep-dive into Plack middleware I'd also like to see some kind of comparison sessions about different frameworks like Mojo and Dancer.
• Perl 6
• Perl 6, transition from Perl 5
• Perl Best Practices, CPAN module selection and submission, applications in Data Science and data management.
• Perl for business processes (ESB, BMP...)
• Something on organising events: would be good to have a joint presentation, for example from Mark, Barbie and BOOK.

How would you rate your overall satisfaction of the following areas of the workshop?
