Hi there!
It seems something is moving in the Perl world. D Ruth Holloway became the Community Engagement Chair, Dave Cross started to build a web site for the Proposed Perl Changes, and there are going to be changes.
On the other hand one of the long-time Perl enthusiasts sent me an angry unsubscribe email telling me how some people (this time it was not me) are ruining Perl.
Fun times!
At the bottom of the newsletter and also on our Perl events page you can find out about all the Perl-related events we know about. If yours isn't listed there, it is just a Pull-Request to add it.
Enjoy your week!
