Hi there, Happy Hacktoberfest 2022 everyone !!! I am sure, most of you, already started hacking open source code. If not then you haven't missed the train yet. You still have plenty of time to submit at least 4 Pull Requests to qualified repositories in GitHub or GitLab. If you are new to Hacktoberfest then I suggest you please take a look at this page. The rule of the game has changed since I first participated in the year 2015. I have received the specially designed T-shirt every year after completing the challenge ever since. As far as Perl is concerned, there are plenty of choices we have. However you have to make sure the open source project is taking part in the Hacktoberfest event. As mentioned in the official note, you have to be quick as only the first 40,000 participants who complete the challenge are eligible to receive the FREE T-shirt. Almost all my opensource contributions are hosted on GitHub, you are FREE to pick any from GitLab too. If you are like me, then you can pick and choose the participating repository from the list here. Having said, if you are still not sure then I would recommend two fun open source projects, Pull Request Club run by Kivanc Yizan and The Weekly Challenge. Do you miss London Perl Workshop? There has been discussion started few days ago among the team members behind the LPW. We have an official announcement requesting your opinions about the proposed LPW 2023. I sincerely request you all who participated in the past and would like to attend the event next year. Please do share with your friends too. I have already seen emails with suggestions, being one of the organiser. Thank you for your inputs, much appreciated. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |

Clever folks know that if you’re lucky, you can earn a living and have an adventure at the same time. Enter our international client: online trading is their game, and — well, we won’t reveal their name just yet, but suffice to say you’ve probably heard of them. Their ideal person has 10 – 20 years of experience with Perl and is dying to have an adventure in a glamorous new locale. |
|
Most jobs get you paid, but the best ones help you make the world a better place. To increase your karmic bank account while adding dollars and cents at your financial institution, we’ve found a 100% remote role that will let you make a difference from the comfort of your living room. Looking for Perl developers with Catalyst/Mojolicious and DBIx::Class. |
|
The client is interested in anyone with experience building web apps in Perl, using one of the major Perl frameworks. If you’re a crack-hand with Catalyst, a Mojolicious master, or a distinguished Dancer, they want you. You’ll be deploying apps your work to AWS, so experience would be handy, and the company’s big on testing, so they’d like you to know your way around Test::More. |
|
Our clients run a job search engine that has grown from two friends with an idea to a site that receives more than 10 million visits per month. They're looking for a Perl pro with at least three years of experience with high-volume and high-traffic apps and sites, a solid understanding of Object-Oriented Perl (perks if that knowledge includes Moose) and SQL/MySQL and DBIx::Class. |
