Hi there

Two events waiting to happen soon next month. I am very excited about both "Hacktoberfest" and "London Perl Workshop - 2019". As you all know, Hacktoberfest, starts on the 1st October and continues till the end of the month. During this time, you are expected to submit at least 4 Pull Request. In return you earn a limited edition T-shirt delivered to your doorstep for FREE, courtesy DigitalOcean. You can find more information about the event, here.

The second event that I am looking forward to is "London Perl Workshop - 2019". This time, it is happening a little earlier than usual i.e. Saturday 19th October 2019. There is a change in venue as well, this year it is happening at David Game College, 31 Jewry St, London EC3N 2ET. They are still accepting talks, If you have anything interesting to talk about then please submit your talk now. If you are keen to sponsor the event, then please take a look at Sponsorship levels. Looking forward to see you all guys there.
