Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/735.html
Hi there,
In the recent couple of weeks Mohammad and some others got really excited
about the TIOBE index indicating that Perl has got a lot more popular
recently. I doubt that. It is way more likely to be a measurement error. I
mean they say that Perl jumped from 25th place to the 9th place in one
year. Also Ada jumped from the 30th place to the 13th place. Who is writing
in Ada and what?
Anyway, let's assume there is interest in Perl. Wouldn't it be a good idea
to convert that to meetings and presentations? I went overt the list of
Perl Monger groups ( https://www.pm.org/ ). I recall seeing more than 200
groups in that list. Now there are only 22 groups and most of those don't
seem to have any activity. The events I found I added to our events page (
https://perlweekly.com/events ). Their events should show up in our
calendar. I also reached out to some of them asking them to update our
calendar (which is generated from a JSON file on GitHub) and I also asked
some if they would be interested organizing online events.
Online events: I don't have any Perl-related business any more (that is, no
training requests and no contract work, not even for moving away from
Perl), but I have a few books ( https://leanpub.com/u/szabgab ) and giving
presentations related to those topics help me update the books. So maybe we
can organize a few of those. I also hope that some other people will be
interested in giving online presentations. Nothing fancy. Think about
'explaining this stuff to my co-worker' level of presentation.
Till then, enjoy your week!

Hi there,
=20
In the recent couple of weeks Mohammad and some others got really e=
xcited about the TIOBE index indicating that Perl has got a lot more popula=
r recently. I doubt that. It is way more likely to be a measurement error. =
I mean they say that Perl jumped from 25th place to the 9th place in one ye=
ar. Also Ada jumped from the 30th place to the 13th place. Who is writing i=
n Ada and what?
=20
Anyway, let's assume there is interest in Perl. Wouldn't it be a go=
od idea to convert that to meetings and presentations? I went overt the lis=
t of Perl Monger groups. I recall seein=
g more than 200 groups in that list. Now there are only 22 groups and most =
of those don't seem to have any activity. The events I found I added to our=
events page. Their events sh=
ould show up in our calendar. I also reached out to some of them asking the=
m to update our calendar (which is generated from a JSON file on GitHub) an=
d I also asked some if they would be interested organizing online events.
=20
Online events: I don't have any Perl-related business any more (tha=
t is, no training requests and no contract work, not even for moving away f=
rom Perl), but I have a few books=
and giving presentations related to those topics help me update the bo=
oks. So maybe we can organize a few of those. I also hope that some other p=
eople will be interested in giving online presentations. Nothing fancy. Thi=
nk about 'explaining this stuff to my co-worker' level of presentation.
=20
Till then, enjoy your week!
