Hi there If you remember, I mentioned the Outreachy program in the editorial of the weekly newsletter edition #522. It has finally come to an end as Rosheen Naeem successfully completed the internship as reported by the TPF in a blog post. Congratulations Rosheen. The Perl Foundation is looking for mentors and project ideas for the next Outreachy rounds. If you have Perl or Raku project ideas, please get in touch with TPF. Many years ago, I was approached for help by the Open Food Facts team as they found out about my distribution, Food::ECodes. Unfortunately it didn't work out as I was too busy with my other pet projects. I hope one day I can contribute to Open Food Facts. I remember I had trouble setting up a local development environment for my contributions. I haven't had a chance to see if there has been any improvements in this area to help newcomers to contribute. I request Perl fans to come forward and help the cool fun project Open Food Facts. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter and stay safe. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |

by Mohammad Sajid Anwar (MANWAR) Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Odd Number" and "Binary Search Tree" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy. |

|
by Abigail Abigail shared cool solutions in not just Perl but also some other languages. |
|
|
by Arne Sommer Cool demo of dot and svg. Keep it up and thanks for sharing. |
|
|
by Flavio Poletti (POLETTIX) I love the fact that the Perl solution looks like Raku and not the other way. Nice attempt. | 
|

|
by Ian Goodnight Ian is on a declarative coding kick and is enjoying the Tree task. Keep it up. |
|
by James Smith Nice use of a bitwise operator to deal with the Odd Number task. Cool hack to flatten the tree before checking if it is BST. |
|
by Laurent Rosenfeld Laurent's use of a Bag to solve the Odd Number task gives us a clean one-liner. For BST, a recursive function is used. |
|
by Luca Ferrari I hate trees with a passion! sums up all the emotion by Luca. However we still got clean Raku code. |
|
by W Luis Mochan For the first task, Luis, used YAML for his tree representation. It made the search really fun. |
|
by Roger Bell West (FIREDRAKE) Roger shared a Raku version of the Odd Number task. I loved the Postscript solution. |
