Hi there, The latest Perl Steering Council weekly updates about the good progress in preparation of release of Perl v5.40. I can't wait to get my hand dirty with the new features. London Perl Workshop is making good progress thanks to the hard work of Lee Johnson. As per the official website, we now have a Diamond Sponsor. I am hoping venue would be finalised soon. I would urge all Perl fans to register your interest in the event so that the organiser can plan the event better. The upconing event, The Perl and Raku Conference in Las Vegas, is in demand. I get to hear a lot of preparation is underway to make it memorable experience for all attendees. I am going to miss the fun, unfortunately. I hope to join you all online if it is available. Last but not least, you take extra care of yourself and your loved ones. Enjoy and celebrate Perl as always. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
