After a long long waiting period, finally Kaare Rasmussen stepped up and JFDI-ed. Using some earlier preparations by Kevin Dawson he converted the Padre repository that had about 100 separate projects in it, into 100 GitHub repositories. There is still a lot to do around the move, but we have already seen some activities around the repositories. It is a great opportunity to revive this project that has been almost dormant for 2 years.

Jussi Kinnula reports from YAPC:EU in Bulgaria

The Perl Foundation put out a call for talks for the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop to be held between 7-9 November, 2014. Talk submission dead-line: September 26th. - I am glad TPF takes a bit more active role in the promotion of some of the Perl events, though I am not sure what made PPW special about it? I don't recall announcements of any other Perl Workshop. Not even YAPC::NA.

In the following cities: Hancock (NY/USA), Itapema (SC/Brasil), Salzburg (Austria), Barcelona (Spain), London (UK)
