The Perl Weekly is now a 'Media Partner' of YAPC::EU, which is going to take place in Kiev in August 2013. This means you'll see me mention it a couple of times as they announce important milestones. Before YAPC::EU, there are going to be 5 Perl Workshops and YAPC::NA as well. The Workshops I have not mentioned yet are the Dutch Perl Workshop on April 19 in Arnhem and the Polish Perl Workshop in Warsaw on 25-26 May. If you are nearby, make sure you attend these events. In other new, let's welcome MediaMath, the first sponsor of the Perl Weekly! Gabor Szabo |
