Hi there, What a great and pleasant surprise announcement of the release of Dancer2 1.0.0 by the Dancer Core Team !!! I am a big fan of Dancer2, so I follow closely the development of my favourite web framework. If you remember there was another announcement recently about change in the core team as Ruth Holloway joining the core team. I am very happy that it is in safe hand and actively developed/maintained by the core team. The Hacktoberfest 2023 is still going on. Have you done the minimum pull request required to complete the challenge? If not then you still have time to do. Please make sure you submit your pull request before the deadline i.e. last day of the month. In the year 2019, I managed to submit 160 pull requests in one month. Unfortunately for the last couple of years, I haven't participated in the event because of other commitments. Do you want to play with AI? Luckily we have Navi AI. I strongly recommend, you give it a go. Last but not the least, let us all pray for the peace in both sides of the conflicts. I don't watch news these days as they are full of heart breaking news. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
