Re: [Catalyst] Its time for Advent again
Octavian (and others) Here's a quick update. We created a github repo over here (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/2012-Advent-Staging) so feel free to fork and send PR and I'll find a way to get it onto the subversion repo. I updated my previous blog about this (see http://jjnapiorkowski.typepad.com/modern-perl/2012/12/update-on-the-status-of-catalyst-advent-2012-.html) I've gotten a few commits for this. and will try to crank out one myself tonight. If anyone else sent me articles, my apology, I had some things going on last week but am going to get the email cleared up sometime today and I will copy stuff over the the github repo, so you can take a look over there and make sure I got it right!

Re: [Catalyst] Its time for Advent again
Typically the deadline is the day that the article is due. Commits go into http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/trunk/examples/CatalystAdvent (into the dir root/2012/pen) Couldn't get momentum for the monthly this year, but I do have a couple of things that could be used for the advent that never got the required polish.
