Hi there The newly formed "Perl Steering Committee" has put together a detailed explanation on proposed state of Perl 7. It is a rather long email from Ricardo Signes but worth reading every line of it. Kudos to Ricardo for putting together such a detailed explanation. TPF Marketing committee came up with survey to help with marketing strategies and branding. I would request the Perl and Raku community members to share their views with the TPF Marketing committee. In the last edition of the weekly newsletter, Gabor mentioned about our Patreon profile. We had great response and found some generous supporters. Gabor thanked the supporters in the blog. I followed the footsteps of Gabor, wrote thank you blog. Last but not the least, you please look after yourself and your loved ones. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
