Hi there, A belated happy birthday to Larry Wall, who turned 70 last Friday, 27th September. Opensource contributions season is about to start with Hacktoberfest tomorrow. It would continue the whole month, enough time for you to contribute to opensource projects. Although I have registered to be part of this year event but I doubt to have time for contribution unfortunately. For me, I am looking forward to the most awaited event, London Perl & Raku Workshop 2024. It is happening after a long gap of 5 years. If you are planning to attend the event then I would suggest you register your details as it would help the organiser to manage the event smoothly.
There is another Perl Conference that I completely missed and it was Perl-Conf.Ru. The first Perl developers conference in Enjoy rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
