From gabor at szabgab.com Sun Nov 5 20:36:52 2017 From: gabor at szabgab.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Mon, 06 Nov 2017 04:36:52 -0000 Subject: [Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #328 - The London Perl Workshop Message-ID: <20171106043511.D5A82C0AA@s8.hostlocal.com> Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/ You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/328.html It's not quite three weeks to the London Perl Workshop, a free-to-attend one-day conference with three tracks of talks and one of tutorials. If you're going, please (a) register on the website ( http://act.yapc.eu/lpw2017/ ), and (b) favourite the talks ( http://act.yapc.eu/lpw2017/talks ) you want to hear. This will help the organisers work out the schedule for the day. The Perl 5 Core Maintenance fund is running low on money. If your company uses Perl, maybe you could encourage the right person to contribute to the fund. YAPC::Russia happened this past weekend, but I haven't seen any blog posts about it yet. If you went, why not tell us what you thought, in a blog post? Neil -- Your editor: Neil Bowers.
