Hi everyone,
We have another great Dancer2 release hitting CPAN as we speak. This time with an announcement on a new core dev joining the Dancer team: Jason Crome. Please give him a warm welcome! We're very happy to have him join us and help make Dancer2 more approachable and welcoming to new-comers.
We're very excited about this release as it carries some great changes and new features.

Cluj Perl Mongers - Who We Are?
- The Perl Counts of Transylvania
-
A bunch of geeks who know Perl and are not afraid to use it and show the world that Perl is highly capable
-
We meet and have fun presenting and debating awesome tech topics
-
And our after parties are to die for, lots of blood (ok, not really blood, mostly beer) has been spilled so far at banquets hosted by the Perl Counts of Transylvania
A Short History of Cluj Perl Mongers
Born on March the 2nd 2012, Cluj.PM was one of the youngest of Perl Mongers at the time. You might wonder why we’ve chosen the vampire to represent us and be part of our logo. Well, we were born in Transylvania. Do we need to say more?
In March 2014, the community turned two, and we celebrated alongside our wonderful guest speakers, Wendy and Liz.

Cluj.PM is back in town! After getting back from YAPC::EU 2015, we have a hell of a lot to celebrate: bringing YAPC::EU 2016 to Cluj doesn't happen every day, so let's get together for another round of Perl talks & a social event afterwards on November 19th, 2015, at our usual meeting place: City Plaza Ballroom.
So who's our Guest Speaker? Cluj Community, meet Andrew Shitov, organizer of more than 30 Perl events in the Cyrillic territory and a couple of YAPC::Europe, Riga and Kiev.
And who are the other speakers? Well, YOU, so we'd like to hear from you as soon as possible!
If you are interested in giving a talk, you should know that your topics may cover anything related to Perl development, entrepreneurship, UI, business, devops, and why not, even other related programing languages! Be creative and surprise us with some really special talk proposals. We know you have it in YOU!

A couple of days ago, we posted a job on jobs.perl.org. We wrote:
Description: Want a remote Perl job working for a great company with colleagues from all around the world? We're considering both permanent and contract positions for a variety of Perl roles. Front-end skills are always welcome and experience with parallel programming comes in handy more than you would think.
We do set a high bar on who we employ, so if joining a bunch of Perl hackers who love the language sounds like fun, send us your CV and we'll send you our programming test. In return, because we value your time, Ovid will be evaluating the test and will send you feedback on how you did and areas for improvement, if any.
Desired skills: Perl. Strong Perl. You love the language. This is the only solid requirement.
Front-end skills (HTML, CSS, JS, not design) are often very useful.
Expertise with parallel processing, including event-driven programming, is needed.
Good communication skills.
Understanding databases is important.

In case you do speak German, or know how to use Google Translate, you can have a look at the new shiny Design of my page PerlTk.de.
It's intended as a Perl/Tk widget reference with a target audience of German noobs that would like to code a UI in Perl.
I hope you like it. Here is something to look at:

Now, the only things left is to get Widget styles in Tk and eventually get a Perl6 Tk binding. One with the same amount of sugar and hopefully less of what is not so good in Tk today :)
Apparently tonight’s MadMongers meeting about SVG will be a Micky Mouse operation.?
