... you don't get one for ages, and then two come along together!
Last week we heard about meta::hack (the MetaCPAN hackathon),
and this week we heard about the P5P hackathon
in November.
And the Barcelona Perl Workshop is on Saturday 5th November.

In this post, and a followup, he introduces Perl ideas based on MobX, a framework that claims it "makes state management simple and scalable by transparently applying functional reactive programming".
