Yes, of course.
but we are still here, well and kicking.
While you are busy proving the techincal superiority of PHP and/or Python [1] I'd like to take a look at our communities.
While I don't know much about the Israeli PHP and the Python community
I know a bit about ours. I hope others will tell us about their community. I think we can learn from each other.
What I know is that the Perl community in Israel is very lively and is growing by the day. I could go into details here but I actually gave a presentation about it on our meeting after GO-Linux so you can look up the details on the slides.[2] In short, based on a census I ran in the first week of April, we are one of the strongest Perl communities already.[3]
If I am not mistaken then we are also the first OS/FS group in Israel that is organizing a full-day, technology oriented conference on volunteer work. [4] Please correct me if I am mistaken.
So I would like to take this opportunity and invite everyone to join the Israeli Perl Mongers. We are meeting monthly, giving a few presentations and discussing technical issues.[5]
In addition I'd like to invite you to our conference that will take place on 11th May in Haifa University. [4]
(I send furhter details in a separate mail not to mix with this subject)
