From distant horizons, word travels swiftly: longships cut through the mist, and whispers speak of landfall on the Finnish shores. We know the moment is soon.

Wherever the Vikings arrive, patterns emerge. In their wake, they leave not only echoes of steel and fire, but also structures, stories, and ways of thinking that endure long after the waves have calmed.

The VikingPlop is no ordinary gathering — it is a meeting of software explorers, pattern-weavers, and knowledge-bearers. Like the sagas of old, the tales told here shape the future, binding communities through shared craft.

And this time, their landing is foretold at the mysterious waters of Lake Nerisjärvi.

Stay watchful. The shore grows closer with each passing tide.
More will be revealed soon.

Due to a couple of requests from authors we have decided to extend the submission deadline. The new dates are as follows:

• Extended abstract submission deadline 7th of January 2018
• Extended initial paper submission deadline 14th of January 2018
• Beginning of shepherding 21st of January 2018

We hope that you can take the benefits from this extra time and make your initial submission even better. We are looking forward to receiving your submissions in mid January.
