A reminder: The 27th German Perl/Raku Workshop will take place between May 12-14, 2025, in Munich, Germany with "ticketing systems" as the main theme. The focus will be on building ticketing software, addressing real-world challenges, and exploring practical solutions. In addition to this deep dive, attendees can look forward to a variety of cutting-edge and exciting topics presented by renowned speakers. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just curious about the latest in Perl and Raku, this event promises insights and inspiration for everyone!. See official website for more info. Philippe Bruhat sent me a message: The Perl Toolchain Summit is happening again in 2025. This year, we're going to be in Leipzig, hosted by Daniel Böhmer and Tina Müller, from May 1st to May 4th, 2025. This year again, we're going to need the support of sponsors to be able to bring our 30+ attendees in the same place at the same time to work on the Perl and CPAN toolchain. Download our sponsor prospectus. See the announcement After several weeks in Hungary I am now back to Israel. We are having in-person events in the other language communities. Unfortunately not Perl. However, I still offer help to companies that would like to reduce their bugs in their programming environment in Perl, Python, or Rust or that would like help introducing either of those languages. Have a nice week! Gabor Szabo |
