This seems tangential to the meeting topic (I wasn't there). Just an
unrelated item of interest?
I hadn't heard of "Enlightened Perl" so I took a look at the site:
Enlightened Perl is an organization which is built around a movement
within the Perl community. Its goals are complementary to the Perl
Foundation. Specifically, we support certain Perl development efforts
that ensure perl's future as an enterprise-grade development platform.
Its aims are:
* Improvements to the public facing parts of existing Perl projects,
...to see where their volunteer capacity is lacking;
* Eliciting the creation and/or improvement of tutorials,
screencasts, books...;
* Encouraging people to blog their experiences of Perl
development...;
* Simplyfing and streamlining the installation of common "new wave
of CPAN" libraries...;
* Grants for development of specific pieces of code that scratch no
developer's itch, but make corporate and/or hobbyist adoption of
enlightened Perl easier;
* Production of articles and white papers to provide a senior
management level view of the advantages of modern Perl as a platform
for new development;
* Getting organisations already using modern Perl to speak out about
their success stories, and helping them to get involved with the
community.
Interesting. I see the "Iron Man Blogging Challenge" is a contest to get
people blogging about Perl.
What are the "new wave of CPAN libraries" they refer to above?
Anyone here a member or grant recipient?
I wonder how well funded organizations like this and TPF are right now.
With unemployment being high, it would be a good time to hire proficient
developers for reasonable rates to do grant funded work for the community.
