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?

  The weekly round-up of P5P notes, though this week you get two for the
  price of one. The highlight is Dave Mitchell's work to make multiple
  string concatenation faster (

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

  chance to read it yet. But I will, as they're always good reading.

  LPW: Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!
  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.

  Last call for LPW Lightning Talks

  If you're reading this on Monday 6th November, then today is the last day
  for submitting lightning talks for the London Perl Workshop. They're only
  5 minutes, so a great way to start giving talks at Perl events.

  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.
