Hi there,
Today marks the start of the German Perl/Raku Workshop
2025, taking place in Munich from May
12-14, 2025. This three-day event promises to be packed with
insightful sessions. You can checkout the schedules for Day 1 (
https://act.yapc.eu/gpw2025/schedule?day=3D2025-05-12 ), Day 2 (
https://act.yapc.eu/gpw2025/schedule?day=3D2025-05-13 ) and Day 3 (
https://act.yapc.eu/gpw2025/schedule?day=3D2025-05-14 ).
I noticed several familiar names from the recently concluded PTS
2025, including Salve J. Nilsen, Ference
Erki and Julien Fiegehenn. There are also regular
attendees like Mark Overmeer, Nicholas
Clark, Max Maischein, Lee
Johnson, Renee Backer and Soren Laird
Sorries. However, one notable absence is Thomas
Klausner.
Looking at the schedule, it's shaping up to be a highly impactful event.
And yes, R Geoffrey Avery, the Gong man, is also listed as
the Lightning Talks manager.
As many of you know the PTS 2025, wrapped up just a week
ago and we've already seen plenty of event reports from the participants.
This was my first time attending the Perl Toolchain
Summit, and I'm grateful to the organisers for the opportunity.
While I've been to many Perl Conferences,
PTS was a completely difference experience altogether. The
setting allowed for more frequent interaction with attendees, making it
easier to seek (and receive) instant help. The knowledge sharing was at its
peak, especially with people like Paul Evans in the room.
Some participants like Neil Bowers and Leo
Lapworth joined remotely via video conference.
I wasn't fully prepared as my invitation came at the last minute. In
contrast, most attendees had everything well planned. I observed structured
groups focusing on specific tasks e.g. MetaCPAN,
CPAN Security, CPAN Testers,
PAUSE. I was free to join any. I chose
MetaCPAN both because it's close to my heart and because
of Olaf Alders.
Admittedly, I didn't have my laptop set up for contributions initially. But
thanks to the PTS environment, I had a working local
MetaCPAN web instance, in no time. You can read more about
my experience in my detailed event report (
https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/pts-2025 ). Other attendees like
Thibault Duponchelle (
https://dev.to/thibaultduponchelle/my-participation-to-the-perl-toolchain-s
ummit-2025-41j2 ), Paul Johnson (
https://blogs.perl.org/users/paul_johnson/2025/05/the-perl-toolchain-summit
-2025.html ), Tina Muller (
https://perlpunk.github.io/posts/2025-05-the-annual-perl-toolchain-summit-2
025 ), Leon Timmermans (
https://blogs.perl.org/users/leon_timmermans/2025/05/a-different-perl-toolc
hain-summit.html ), also shared their insights.
Enjoy rest of the newsletter.

Hi there,
Today marks the start of the German Perl/Raku Workshop
2025, taking place in Munich from May
12-14, 2025. This three-day event promises to be packed with
insightful sessions. You can checkout the schedules for Day 1 (
https://act.yapc.eu/gpw2025/schedule?day=3D2025-05-12 ), Day 2 (
https://act.yapc.eu/gpw2025/schedule?day=3D2025-05-13 ) and Day 3 (
https://act.yapc.eu/gpw2025/schedule?day=3D2025-05-14 ).
I noticed several familiar names from the recently concluded PTS
2025, including Salve J. Nilsen, Ference
Erki and Julien Fiegehenn. There are also regular
attendees like Mark Overmeer, Nicholas
Clark, Max Maischein, Lee
Johnson, Renee Backer and Soren Laird
Sorries. However, one notable absence is Thomas
Klausner.
Looking at the schedule, it's shaping up to be a highly impactful event.
And yes, R Geoffrey Avery, the Gong man, is also listed as
the Lightning Talks manager.
As many of you know the PTS 2025, wrapped up just a week
ago and we've already seen plenty of event reports from the participants.
This was my first time attending the Perl Toolchain
Summit, and I'm grateful to the organisers for the opportunity.
While I've been to many Perl Conferences,
PTS was a completely difference experience altogether. The
setting allowed for more frequent interaction with attendees, making it
easier to seek (and receive) instant help. The knowledge sharing was at its
peak, especially with people like Paul Evans in the room.
Some participants like Neil Bowers and Leo
Lapworth joined remotely via video conference.
I wasn't fully prepared as my invitation came at the last minute. In
contrast, most attendees had everything well planned. I observed structured
groups focusing on specific tasks e.g. MetaCPAN,
CPAN Security, CPAN Testers,
PAUSE. I was free to join any. I chose
MetaCPAN both because it's close to my heart and because
of Olaf Alders.
Admittedly, I didn't have my laptop set up for contributions initially. But
thanks to the PTS environment, I had a working local
MetaCPAN web instance, in no time. You can read more about
my experience in my detailed event report (
https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/pts-2025 ). Other attendees like
Thibault Duponchelle (
https://dev.to/thibaultduponchelle/my-participation-to-the-perl-toolchain-s
ummit-2025-41j2 ), Paul Johnson (
https://blogs.perl.org/users/paul_johnson/2025/05/the-perl-toolchain-summit
-2025.html ), Tina Muller (
https://perlpunk.github.io/posts/2025-05-the-annual-perl-toolchain-summit-2
025 ), Leon Timmermans (
https://blogs.perl.org/users/leon_timmermans/2025/05/a-different-perl-toolc
hain-summit.html ), also shared their insights.
Enjoy rest of the newsletter.
