Hi there Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Finally we now have 3 elected members i.e. Ricardo Signes, Neil Bowers and Sawyer X of Perl Steering Council Election. Hearty congratulations to all three members. If anyone interested in the voting process then please follow Poll Results: Perl Steering Council Election page. Are you interested in Perl 7 updates? I found two very insightful source with regard to Perl 7 news e.g. Perl 7 FAQ and RFC -- Evolving Perl: a Decision Theory Approach to the Challenges of Perl 7. I am sure you must have enjoyed the flood of many Advent Calendars, specially Perl Advent Calendar 2020. We also had mix bag of Perl and Raku gems making up the The Weekly Challenge Advent Calendar 2020. Did you miss something this festive season? I did. Well, I didn't hear any noise with regard to the most loved annual event 24PullRequest. In the past, start of december means two things for me, one is Advent Calendar and the second is 24PullRequest challenge. What a shame I didn't participate this year. I hope new year 2021 would bring the fresh energy. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
