Hi there!

Sorry for sending out this edition later than usual, I have been super busy with various video recordings. Primarily the live events I have been doing lately. I think they work quite well.

I am also glad that there are a number of Perl Monger meetings you can attend on-line. It is just a matter of allocating the time.

Because I am late with the newsletter the email from Sawyer X in which he writes about his resignation from PSC and Core found its way to my inbox and into the newsletter as well. Surprising.

Well, Enjoy your week!

Gabor Szabo
