Hello Everyone, As I mentioned at Mojoconf, I am hoping to run the advent calendar again this year, but I cannot do nearly as much work on it as last year, both for sanity and personal reasons. Therefore I'm looking to you to help me out with contributions. I've already gotten submissions from two authors, more ideas from another few of you. Well now's the time! If you want in, and if you want to be sure the calendar happens and is a success, start getting those posts to me. I don't have a firm deadline, but I need probably 10 or so in to me before the end of the month in order to go ahead, and probably at least 10 more by publishing date, whenever that is. I'll commit to 5.
As to topics, I think we have promises covered, indeed I'm going to send out an email to those of you who want to do articles on promises so that we can coordinate. I myself am taking the Async/Await pattern and hopefully library announcement. Other topics can include anything from your library, your favorite library, your favorite pattern, something you use Mojo for, or whatever else you want to write about. Remember, even if what you do with Perl/Mojo/The Web seems ordinary, it isn't ordinary to everyone else. We all do different things and what seems mundane to you every day will be fascinating to others. I'll be taking submissions in markdown format. Please use 4 space indentation for code blocks as the markdown renderer hasn't caught up with github flavor code fences. Please include a short but engaging title and at least a few paragraphs of text. Every article should come either with an image or an idea for an image, for the top banner and other marketing (think twitter). If that image is included, I need to have a link to the source, which must be appropriately licensed. Searching on wikimedia is a great way to start or else searching on google images with the license filter on. See last year's calendar for how that looks. If you didn't contribute last year, please include your full name (or how you'd like to be credited), with a sentence or two about yourself, and a gravatar url or image (if desired). You may submit as PRs to the github repo (https://github.com/jberger/mojolicious.io) or emailed to me. Don't worry about getting the dates or metadata right, we'll figure that all out. And please contact me if you have any trouble or questions. Cheers, Joel Berger P.S. If authors submit articles but we don't get enough, they will still get published, it just may not be structured as a calendar. Don't worry, contributions will not be wasted either way. P.P.S. ... but calendars are more fun, submit something and help us get there! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mojolicious" group.
