Hi there, I believe many of you work from home these days which is both hard, especially if you have young children, but many of you also save a lot of time not commuting. It seems that all the conferences, Meetups, and Perl Monger meetings are now cancelled, but I wonder, have you started to organize on-line meetings? Two weeks ago, when the semester was postponed at the Weizmann Institute of Science, I ran my 'Programming Bootcamp for scientists' online. It wasn't easy (5 days, 9:00-17:00 with 30 students) but we managed. On-line meetings have challanges, but they also have advantages over class-room trainings. Since then I ran two workshops every week. I am still trying to figure out how to replace the mingling part to build community around it, but it is certainly interesting. Have you attended any on-line meetings? Have you organized any? Let us know about your experience! - Just a few minutes after writing this I chatted with Thomas Klausner (domm) who mentioned that some of the German Perl Monger groups already organize on-line events. So if you are German-speaking and could never attend a meeting as all of them were too far for you, now you can actually join them on-line. Domm also mentioned that if you are interested organizing on-line events, the venue mailing list of YEF is available for you. Register there! Then I got a message from Todd Rinaldo telling me about the Conference in the Cloud. That is, The Perl and Raku Conference in the cloud. Finally let me tell you about another, much smaller, initiative: Thomas Klausner and myself are going to host a 'Mob programming' session for Perl (and maybe also for Raku) programmers. See below! Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo
