He was a frequent poster to Usenet, Perl +Monks, and other Perl forums, and made several CPAN contributions under the +nick NOBULL, including to the Perl FAQ. He attended almost every +YAPC::Europe, and indeed, helped organise YAPC::Europe 2006 and the QA +Hackathon 2009. His wit and his delight in intricate systems were +particularly apparent in his love of board games; many Perl mongers will +have fond memories of playing Fluxx and other games with Brian. He will be +missed. + =head1 Acknowledgements XXX Generate this with: -- Perl5 Master Repository
