Hi there,
Happy Hacking everyone !!!
I hope you are busy contributing during this year Hacktoberfest. We are half way through already but still plenty of time left to kickstart if not done already.
How about LPW 2024?
Well it is less than 2 weeks before the much awaited London Perl & Raku Workshop 2024 begins the fun. I am very happy to see the support of Perl community in general. It is great to see regular names in the list of sponsors, specially my current employer Oleeo as Gold sponsor. Thank you, Lee Johnson, for all the hardwork, managing the event so smoothly so far. I am confident it would be a memorable event for everyone.
Those who are planning to attend the event, there would be Pre Workshop Social and Post Workshop Social. Please register your details asap. I have once attended pre workshop social in the past as the usual venue is not my favourite spot. Having said, I am planning to break the tradition this year and planning to attend post social workshop. How can I miss the opportunity to meet my techie friends.
Have you seen the favourite talks list?
I am personally looking forward to attend the talks e.g. Perl in 2030, Cloudy Perl, how it looks now, A modern introduction to XS. Also my own talk, What's new in Perl v5.40?. I happy to see the some familiar names shown interest in my talk. I can't wait to present my talk.
I am also looking forward to meet some of my techie friends after a long time. Recently I found out one coming all the way from Canada. I am wondering if anyone coming from Japan. In the past, we always had speaker from Japan. I hope to see the familiar face this time too. Anyone from Germany? We will all find out first thing at the registration desk on the day.
As the October arrived, it also brought the dull weather with it. I don't have good memory about it. I hope it passes without creating any havoc. You take extra care of your health, specially mental and enjoy rest of the newsletter.
