Issue #280 - 2016-12-05 - LPW - 10 years of Mark Keating

We just had the London Perl Workshop, the 10th and final one
that Mark Keating has organised. He's faced all kind of issues over the years,
including serious flooding in his home town last year, but always made sure
things ran smoothly. We're all thankful for his work and passion.
It's that time of year again - there are plenty of advent calendars to
check every day!

What it really needs now is that every one of the Perl Weekly subscribers will pledge a single $1. Not only will that bring it to the goal it will really show interest in Perl 6. One USD!
