<p>The Perl Foundation is excited to announce three hackathons that will be running sequentially with <span class="caps">YAPC</span>::NA 2015 in Salt Lake City this June. These events include a Perl 6 hackathon with Perl creator Larry Wall to be held on June 11th. </p>
<p>The cost to attend these three hackathons is included in all <span class="caps">YAPC</span>::NA 2015 passes, but we do encourage you to <span class="caps">RSVP </span>online so we know how many to expect. Putting on these events is not cheap! Along with being able to attend each hackathon, we will also be providing rooms, wi-fi, and snacks throughout the day. So we would appreciate your help! To help cover these costs, we have a suggested donation of $50 per day, which you can make during your online registration. </p>
<p>Each hackathon listed will run from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm. We will provide snacks and drinks, but you will be on your own for lunch.</p>
<p>This year's hackathons will be:</p>
<h3>Sunday, June 7th 2015: Pull request hackathon</h3>
<p>Come join your fellow Perl developers for a day of bug squashing and developing as you participate in the 2015 <span class="caps">CPAN</span> Pull Request Challenge. Or, bring your own pet project and just enjoy a day of hacking amongst your like-minded peers.</p>
<h3>Thursday, June 11th 2015: Perl 6 hackathon with Larry Wall</h3>
<p>Come spend an entire day working on the next generation of Perl. There's no better way to learn it than to do it! Perl creator, Larry Wall will be on hand throughout the day.</p>
<h3>Friday, June 12th 2015: Hardware hackathon</h3>
<p>Get up to your armpits in Arduino! Bring your own toys or come check out some of ours. It's time to get creative and see what you can make.</p>
<p>We look forward to seeing you! Please take a moment to register on the <span class="caps">YAPC </span>site: <a href="http://www.yapcna.org/yn2015/purchase">http://www.yapcna.org/yn2015/purchase</a> </p>
