Perl Weekly=20
http://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
http://perlweekly.com/archive/510.html
Hi there
I am not sure if you have read the recent blog post (
http://neilb.org/2021/04/27/perl-communities.html ) by Neil Bowers. I have
read it multiple times to understand the subject of the post. I must admit,
I had never read such an in depth analysis of the term "Community". As my
vocabulary is rather limited, I found it very interesting to read such a
long blog post. To me, community is group of like-minded people. When I
attended my first London Perl Workshop, I immediately felt part of the
community. The organiser and everybody was so accommodating and friendly.
It made me come again the following year and I became addicted to it
afterwards. I always looked up to the big names of the community everytime
I needed some inspiration. Take a look at the past recipients (
https://www.perl.org/advocacy/white_camel/ ) of the White Camel Award, you
can get some idea of who's who in the community. Unfortunately it hasn't
been awarded since 2018 for some reason that I am not aware of. I miss the
community spirit of attending Perl Conferences. You can never experience
that feeling unless you attend one. I hope and wish we get back to
attending conferences. Although there has been virtual events in recent
times, it can't replace real events in my humble opinion. I must give
credit to everyone who is keeping the community spirit alive.
Today is a bank holiday in the UK, so all the British readers of the
newsletter, enjoy your break with the newsletter. Rest of the world, start
your week with weekly doses of Perl news. Stay safe and healthy.
--
Your editor: Mohammad S. Anwar.
