Hi,
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px">
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?
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px">
Anyway, enjoy your week! ~szabgab

<p style="font-size: 16px">
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 Workshop to be held between 7-9 November, 2014. Talk submission 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 made PPW special about it? I don't recall announcements of any other Perl Workshop. Not even YAPC::NA.
