Hi,
I am impressed that the relatively small 'Swiss Perl Workshop' is still
getting reports. I wish people attending other Perl events were that
enthusiastic as well. Was this the weather? (which apparently is the 'topic
of the week'), or have they just received too much chocolate?
Anyway, enjoy your week! ~szabgab
Announcements
Padre is now on Github
http://bit.ly/1BFfmMb
After a long long waiting period, finally Kaare Rasmussen stepped up and
JFDI-ed. Using some earlier preparations by Kevin Dawson he converted the
Padre repository that had about 100 separate projects in it, into 100
GitHub repositories. There is still a lot to do around the move, but we
have already seen some activities around the repositories. It is a great
opportunity to revive this project that has been almost dormant for 2
years.

The Perl Foundation put out a call for talks for the Pittsburgh Perl

dead-line: September 26th. - I am glad TPF takes a bit more active role
in the promotion of some of the Perl events, though I am not sure what
