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.

  in the promotion of some of the Perl events, though I am not sure what

  Workshop. Not even YAPC::NA.
