Subject: [Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #328 - The London Perl Workshop
Message-ID: <20171106043511.D5A82C0AA@s8.hostlocal.com>

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?

Another long post from Jonathan about his performance work on MoarVM. He

http://blogs.perl.org/users/lpw/2017/10/lpw-too-much-of-a-good-thing-can-be-wonderful.html
There have been a lot of good talk submissions for LPW, a lot more than
usual. A lot of talks have been accepted now, so you can check out the
list ( http://act.yapc.eu/lpw2017/talks ), and start marking which ones
you'd like to hear. This will help the organisers decide which talks go
in which rooms.

Me, I get excited by shiny things. I played with Maypole before Catalyst or
Mojolicious was a thing, and I wrote some mean Class::DBI code before

Do you speak French, Perl, and passable English? Bilingual Perl developer needed in London
https://perl.careers/jobs/do-you-speak-french-perl-and-passable-english-bilingual-perl-developer-needed-in-london?utm_source=perlweekly&utm_campaign=perlweekly&utm_medium=perlweekly
My London-based client is interested in native (or near-native) French
speakers who are interested in relocating to London (to join an
English-speaking team). While the majority of projects are undertaken in
English, the client works with a number of European clients where ability
to read and process French technical documentation would be helpful.
