It reminds me when Lance Wicks reached out to Joshua McAdams to revive Perlcast in 2018. I later joined hands with Lance and we even recorded the first podcast with Neil Bowers. Unfortunately it didn't work out. Fast forward, in the new year 2025, we have another very active member, Philippe Bruhat, who came up with The Underbar, Podcast for Perl. There is already Episode 0 - A New Logo for Perl is published which was recorded on January 10th, 2025. You should listen to it and share your feedbacks to the creator. Also please do spread the word about it.
This year German Perl/Raku Workshop is happening in the beautiful city Munich. Even if German is not your first language, you can still benefit from the presentations. I attended the workshop in the year 2018, my first time. I enjoyed the 3-days event thoroughly. I even gave couple of presentations in English. For me, it was the golden opportunity to meet so many Perl stalwarts. I made many friends for life. Buy your tickets now, it is starting on 12th May 2025 and ends on 14th May 2025.
There is another good news in the year 2025, The Weekly Challenge has secured sponsor for another 12 months, thanks to Lance Wicks for the second year back to back.
