Hi there! Now that Perl Monger meetings are virtual, people could much easily join each others meetings. Matthew Persico started a list of these events on a page. If you update that page, please also update the JSON file in the Perl Weekly repository so we can also announce the event. See the upcoming list of events at the bottom of the newsletter. In other news, tomorrow I am going to talk to Rachael Bates who is a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) at Adobe. You are welcome to join us at this webinar A week ago I created the Perl Maven LinkedIn page where I am sharing code-snippets, examples and explanations about various Perl constructs. I was surprised and quite encouraged to see that more than 100 people have already followed the page and they are also not shy to 'like' to posts that help them spread to even more people. It's like a virus, but a good one. Make sure you don't miss the fun! Finally, don't forget to check out the job posts at the bottom of each edition! Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

Discussion

by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) One of the ways you can improve your chances to get employed is by contributing to the Open Source code-base of a company before you apply for a job. On this page I've started to collect companies that have some Open Source code. A few of them even have Open Source Perl code. |

For many of our developers, 2020’s also been an exceptionally uncertain year. Lay-offs, furloughs, comapnies implementing strict cost-cutting measures. Wouldn’t it be nice to work for a company that’s actually been _growing_ during lockdown? Our client’s in a buouyant position, and they’re looking for someone like you to come and join them. |

This pint-sized paradise has some of the oldest architecture in the world, incredible hikes that take you along their gorgeous coastline, and a vibrant cultural scene. And here’s the best part: our client is looking for a few good Perl Developers to join their team in Malta! |

You can work anywhere in the world, so why not work somewhere world-class? Where better to spend your days (and nights) than a rapidly growing city known for having the planet’s only 7-star hotel, the tallest building in the world, and a shopping mall to put all others to shame.Did we mention it’s beautiful all the time? Sun, sand, stunning blue water and you! |

There are plenty of perks to living in a big city—the nightlife, tons of amenities, and transportation to get you from A to B—but big cities often mean concrete jungles without much green space. Not so in Cyberjaya; this tech-driven city has a huge park, and it’s situated right next to Putrajaya, which has parks, wetlands, and botanical gardens. Ready for big city vibes with little town greenery? |
