These questions are designed to help us understand our attendees level of involvement in the Perl community.

How do you rate your Perl knowledge?

How long have you been programming in Perl?

How many previous Perl Workshops have you attended?

Do you plan to attend a future YAPC/Workshop?

Are you a member of a local Perl Mongers user group?

If not, do you plan to find one or start one?

What other areas of the Perl Community do you contribute to?

• Co Leader of Perl Mongers Group
• I'm officially a Perl 5 Author thanks to a minor recommendation I made to update perlop. And I have contributed to Dancer, but with an even smaller documentation update (fixing a broken link). I'd like to do more, of course...
• rperl.org & cloudforfree.org
• smoking perl

Regarding London Perl Workshop 2018 specifically, please answer the following as best you can.

When did you decide to come to this conference?

• I try to visit as many Perl events as I can afford
• promoted at TPC Europe Glasgow

Were you a speaker?

Note that "similar conferences" includes other Workshops and/or Perl Conferences, as well as Linux, Open Source or large technical events.

If you were a speaker, would you have been able to attend if you hadn't been speaking?

If you weren't a speaker, would you consider speaking at a future conference?

What was your motivation for coming?

• I didn't need to get a visa because I had one after visiting TPCiG
• I'm an organizer
• It's just what I do every year.
• to learn more about Perl and particularly this year, Perl 6! (Loved the dedicated Perl 6 track.)
• to seek a job
• To sponsor the event

What aspects of the conference do you feel gave value for money?

• hosting the RPerl booth/table
• Social events in pubs

What kinds of talks would you prefer at future London Perl Workshops?

Are there any topics you would specifically like to see featured?

• A separate track of beginner talks and/or experience stories (i.e. getting things wrong, and learning how to fix them), would be great. It helps the newcomers and those learning Perl to see talks that aren't necessarily advanced, but still engage them.
• I am always interested to see what people want to talk about.
• I was unable to go this year due to flu. The above is what
• I'd like to see if anyone is using perl to start a new business or use it in an entrepreneurial way.
• I've ticked beginner because more people need to 'get' Perl, it has a bad rep for those that don't know it.
• If there has appeared a Perl implementation of openid connect since I last looked for it a talk on that would be good. Otherwise web devs may tend toward Python.
• Machine Learning
• more applications featuring Modern Perl ecosystems. it's one more way for me to hear about new things
• More on how to do good web development with Mojolicious, Dancer (though Andrew covers this well), Catalyst actually - I really don't know Catalyst well at all.
  Getting more out of CPAN perhaps? There are so many great modules / distros.
  I think we need to do more to get people using Perl web software and training up new devs as a community. Maybe more beginner level talks is the way to go? (I have changed the 'what kind of talks' question now jkkl;;kjhrytu8kiyhgfbmvhghhhhh mnnnvnvttygnm, k.kjhhhrgjlnnm,mnnnmm,, hjhvghuyu67qytghakk,..l; ..kjjiiihxcvvhccxxxfhgh bnbbnnmnop;;; ';'[[[[mknmbb b n nb ytbnnnbnv gbcgvcgxcfxg6tyyjiopp[ ';lkjhgfdsaCCcbb bvghhgjgjgh hnjklliiiii hjjgsdfghhgfdsassasassdfghjkl;' bbbbbbnm ,m,m,m;njkjnnmmm,./',,, ............mtyipipipioucg
  I think
• more on Perl 11, RPerl, CloudForFree
• Perl 6
  Perl used in education (schools, universities)
  GUI-applications written in Perl
• Perl 6
