At the German #Perl Workshop, I had the privilege to organize a panel about #OpenSource #Sustainability on #CPAN and it's related communities.
Together with Ferenc Erki (@ferki), Julien Fiegehenn (simbabque), and Sören M. Laird Sörries (@relais), we talked about meet-ups, volunteering, mental health, funding, and much more. It was great!

(With apologies for the annoying apple emojis that pop up during the session)
Oh, and for an example of how horrible #Apple's automatic emoji thing is in this video, watch it from the 29m45s mark.

Sören> It's so simple, you wouldn't know – "Do you prefer water sparkling or not?" – You have given them a choice, and they will get out of their trauma response. It's really so simple, everybody should know that.

Classic case of #verschlimmbessern and #disimprovement.
@joshbressers @ferki @relais we're all just #volunteers trying to make good things happen. (And yes, the spoon was the highlight of the discussion 😅)
