Hi there, It is strange. Last week's issue was quite thin, but this week, maybe due to the QA Hackathon there are plenty of articles. A whole bunch is about the QAH, but there are many other, unrelated articles as well. And of course the big news that was announced last week, that RJBS, the Pumpking has resigned still echoes. Both in posts where people are thanking his work and announcement of the new Pumpking. There were two new events announced too. Both in September in Austria. I wonder if one could go to the first one and than cycle over to the second one which is about 500 km away. Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

Event reports
|
by Brian Duggan (BDUGGAN) Whenever you are wondering if it would be worth going to a Perl event looking at the reports from previous events is a great source of inspiration. I hope more event organizers will start collecting these links, putting them on their web site and using them in the coming years as promotional material. |
