We just had the London Perl Workshop, the 10th and final one that Mark Keating has organised. He's faced all kind of issues over the years, including serious flooding in his home town last year, but always made sure things ran smoothly. We're all thankful for his work and passion. It's that time of year again - there are plenty of advent calendars to check every day! Neil Neil Bowers
