Hi there!

I'd like to welcome myself back home in Israel after a long vacation in Korea and Japan. It was awesome, but we reached the conclusiong that next time we should do it when we are younger... One of the highlights of the trip was the talking to people. It is of course mostly service providers and fellow travelers, but in Seoul we managed to meet some local tech people. Unfortunately I could not manage to arrange a meeting with any of the Perl people there. I felt that as a missed opportunity.

Anyway, we have the online events where we do have some time to chat which I find extremely satisfying. You can also join the Perl-related events or for that matter any event . I'd also like to encourage you to offer a presentation on some topic that is dear to you. It can be Perl. It can be AI. It can be any of other other topics we already cover. We can even discuss topics we don't yet cover.…
