Hi there! After the Advent calendars and the vacation days it seems people are still tired and there is not much content to share. So let me repeat and rephrase my call for speaker for the online live events. At these online meetings I'd like to see guests who would teach me, and the audience, interesting stuff. Eg. 'How to write Object oriented code in Perl?', 'How to write a web application using Mojolicious?', 'How to process huge amounts of data with Perl?', just to give you a few ideas. There could be presentations on how a particular module works, and how to contribute to that module. These could be also about Python, Rust, or some other interesting language, but I guess the readers of this newsletter will more likely know and want to share Perl. These could be well-prepared presentations, or they can be more ad-hoc, pair-programming sessions. Just as you'd explain things to a new co-worker. After each presentation we stay around and have a discussion. It is way better than just watching the video, but of course you have to join us at the live event to enjoy that. I hope to see you at one of the events either as listener or as guest speaker! Anyway, if you are interested, check out the planned live events and send me an email with a topic you'd like to talk about. Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |
