Regarding London Perl Workshop 2019 specifically, please answer the following as best you can.

When did you decide to come to this conference?

• Asked to speak

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?

• talks / learn (cant really pre-tell quality, maybe "subjects" would be better?)

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

• The beer.

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

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

• Introducing young people to the Perl family Making the on-ramp smoother / easier to access Developing the Perl brand
• Machine learning, game development
• Talking about personal or professional technical projects - what challenges were faced, how did you plan or approach it, thoughts and comments.
• Would like to see more intermediate, even strong-intermediate content. I know its quite hard to find when people need to suggest things from their own content. However, I noticed that there was less of this type of material than in the previous two events I had attended. For me, it would be great to see something like "how to do perl properly", in a modern (enlightened) style. Also, how to use toolkits properly, in conjunction with cloud and in a co-operative microservice environment (like on the end of pub-sub). Where the perl5 language is going would also be useful to know (but impossible to answer right now).

How do you rate the workshop?

How would you rate your overall satisfaction of the following areas of the workshop?

Key:
1 = Very Satisfied
2 = Somewhat satisfied
3 = Somewhat un-satisfied
4 = Very un-satisfied
5 = N/A

* Note that while the workshop has no attendance fee, your time and travel expenses aren't free :)
