  • TPF Blog Back in Business Thu, 03-Apr-2008 by Jim Brandt

    If you're a frequent visitor, you may have noticed that the blog lost some of the right-hand links and resources for a while. A recent Movable Type upgrade scrambled things for a bit, but I think I've got it sorted out now. My complete lack of familiarity with MT made this much more difficult than it probably should have been, but I now know much more about MT than I

  • TPF Support of Artistic License (Jacobsen v. Katzer) Fri, 14-Mar-2008 by Jim Brandt

    First, I'm not a lawyer and I'm not even particularly well versed in all of the issues surrounding open source licensing, the Artistic License, and copyright law. However, I am a member of The Perl Foundation and part of our mission is to support both versions of the Artistic License. As many readers of this blog already know, there is a court case in the federal district court in San

    The yapc.org site is now re-registered and available again. Actually, it was back up yesterday but with DNS caching it was hard to get to the real site if you'd already tried earlier Sorry for any inconvenience.

  • yapc.org Temporarily Unavailable Tue, 11-Mar-2008 by Jim Brandt

    If you've recently surfed over to yapc.org, you'll notice you're not getting the home page you expect. The domain inadvertently expired and we're currently working on renewing it. It turns out the reminders were going to an inactive email account. We're "not the first":http://www.whoisfinder.com/news/200402/washpost-renewal-failure.html to miss a renewal, but it's an inconvenience nonetheless. In the meantime, many of the upcoming Perl events are hosted via Act!, and they keep links

  • Parrot Grant Update for January and February Mon, 10-Mar-2008 by Dave Rolsky
    in: Grants

    Parrot releases continue to come out once a month. Version 0.5.2 was released in January. The highlight of 0.5.2 for many is surely the inclusion of a perl6 make target, meaning that you can now take a Parrot release and make yourself a Perl 6 binary in just three easy steps: tar -xvzf parrot-x.x.x.tar.gz cd parrot-x.x.x perl ./Configure.pl make perl6 The end result is a perl6 binary that you can
