Hi there

During The Perl Conference in Glasgow last month, Lance Wicks shared the idea of reviving Perl Podcast. I liked the idea and we decided to work on it together. Gabor started something similar few years ago, The Perl Maven TV Show. Unfortunately not much activity seen recently. Ideally we would like focus on pure Perl (perl5 and perl6) initially. We have reached out to Joshua McAdams, creator of Perlcast for assistance.

Past one week has been really busy with Perl workshops, not just one but two i.e. Nordic Perl Workshop and Mojoconf and Swiss Perl Workshop. Unfortunately the dates clashed, making it difficult for the Perl Hackers to decide which one to go.

Talking about perl workshop, next in line is London Perl Workshop which is happening on 24th November 2018. They are accepting talk/worshop proposals now. We would love to see more first time speakers giving short (20 min) talk or even lightning (5 min) talk.
