# Why Should I Attend?
We hear it all the time in the press: "Perl is dead..." but as we in the community know, it's not! There are numerous busy subcommunities of both Perl and Raku, doing fantastic things for and with the languages. This meeting is your chance as a group to shout out to the world about what's going on, and seek out like-minded people who might be able to help grow your group.
Who should attend:
* You are working on a Perl or Raku project, and want to brag about it, and/or recruit new team members!
* You're a member of a Perl Mongers group, and have a meeting coming up you'd like to announce!
* You work for a company that uses Perl or Raku, and you're hiring!
* You want to be informed about any of these things going on in the Perl and Raku ecosystem!
# How's it work?
As the Chair of Community Engagement for the Foundation, I'll be moderating; if you'd like to get a spot for an announcement, just hit me up in the chat, or ahead of time on the #community-roundtable channel on the TPRF slack. Each participating group will have five minutes (I'll be timing it!) to speak out about what's going on in their group, and then we have a short bit for questions to that speaker, just one or two quick ones, then move on to the next. Each community group should focus their announcement by answering these four questions:
1. What's going on in your group?
2. What's the next big thing coming up for your group?
3. Are you looking for new participants in your project? If so, are you looking for any specialists (docs, XS code, whatever)?
4. How do I get in touch with the group to find out more or join in?
Companies announcing hiring will be at the end of the meeting; you'll have five minutes, too, and should make sure you inform us about the role you're hiring, whether or not it is remote or restricted to citizens of any country, and how to get in touch with the company.
The meeting will be recorded, and I'll be posting a summary over the weekend following, so folks who didn't attend can find out about your announcements.
So join us this Friday, 21 March, and the third Friday of every month at 1730 UTC on [Zoom](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82038746662?pwd=X1r8Tfbcq621t0LA3NbpLebmGMOhK3.1). If you'd like to find out more, catch me online in the TPRF Slack, by messaging GeekRuthie on irc.perl.org or libera.chat, or @geekruthie:nerdch.at on Matrix!
