This year’s GSOC efforts on behalf of the Perlverse are being organised by the magnificent Florian Ragwitz (rafl on irc) on behalf of The Perl Foundation.

Send-A-Newbie
The current state of play YAPC::EU::2010::Pisa is just a week or so away and I thought it would be time to talk about the send-a-newbie initiative once again. (If you are unfamiliar with send-a-newbie visit the website at send-a-newbie.enlightenedperl.org) As I spoke about previously this initiative was organised last year by Edmund von der Burg [...]

Logo no go? Logo to go
So there is a set of conversations happening in the community at the moment whether it is on respectable blogs such as Philip Smith’s discussion on Perl Typefaces, the discussion on the EPO marketing list regarding logos or London Perl Mongers call to bring more (cuddly/stuffed) camels to their next social meeting(!). These discussions all [...]
