A longer blog post will follow, likely on my personal site (I'll try to avoid it sitting in my drafts folder for too long). In the meantime, thanks to all who attended, spoke, volunteered, helped, advertised, promoted, linked to, encouraged, and so on, this year's London Perl & Raku Workshop. I think it worked out.

Scarves. This year's surprise swag, a 20th anniversary scarf rather than the usual t-shirt. We sill have a few of these left and I'm happy to send you one if you cover the cost of postage and packaging (roughly 15.- CHF). Please email the organisers if you would like one. It wil be first come (emailed) first served. Any that remain I will probably take to GPW next year to give away.

Videos. I will be processing these over the next couple of weeks. Expect them to be available on YouTube sometime mid November.

Feedback. If you attended the workshop it will really help us if you fill in the feedback form. All questions are optional and it is anonymous. Approximately 120 people attended the workshop - if half of you can complete the form that would be smashing.

Next Year? We have no plans. Yet.

It's a little over a week until this year's London Perl and Raku Workshop. Here's a couple of things to note about the day.

The schedule is relatively fixed at this point, however if you haven't already starred the talks you plan to attend then please do so as this will inform any tweaks. The venue has a large room (150 people) and a smaller room (35 people) therefore it is helpful to know which talks might be heavily attended in advance so we can make sure those talks have enough space.

The venue, The Trampery in Old Street, is located a two minute walk from the Northern Line's Old Street tube station in central London. The Northern Line has stops at most of the major train stations in London, or trivial links to others, so we recommend taking the tube to get to the venue.

The venue will open at 9am, or a little before then, and talks are scheduled to start at 9:30am. There will be some opening snacks for those who skipped breakfast, and coffee, tea, and water will be available throughout the day without the need for dedicated drinks breaks. We have planned 10min between each talk, allowing ample time for refills.

Attendees are expected to make their own plans for lunch. Although the area nearby is busy during the week, it's quiet at the weekend, and there are plenty of options in the immediate area. We will have an afternoon snack break at about 3pm.

The London Perl and Raku Workshop will take place on 26th Oct 2024. Thanks to this year's sponsors, without whom LPW would not happen:

This year's London Perl and Raku Workshop is just 4 weeks away. We now have a pretty full schedule, so the call for presentations is now closed, however we might have room for one or two more talks depending circumstances on the day. If you really think you have talk you want to give then get in touch.

As part of the workshop we would like to ask attendees if any are willing to volunteer for helping out on the day. This will likely include:

• Room monitoring and video equipment operation
• Registration of attendees
• General assistance of organisers and attendees

We are probably looking for three people to help out on the day. Please contact the organisers if you would like to help out.
