Booking.com is also donating hardware and sysadmin time to provide the servers for the new git master for Perl 5, which will go live in the next few days."

  well, I know who I'm going to use next time I want to book a hotel. Thanks to booking.com for giving back to the community! By the way, it looks like they're hiring perl programmers in Amsterdam.

    That's right. Booking.com (for whom I've been working for 5 years now) are still hiring Perl developers to work in the office in Amsterdam (see http://jobs.perl.org/job/9994 [perl.org])
