  • Planet YAPC Fri, 06-Apr-2007 by Jim Brandt

    With so many Perl events going on around the world, I often wish I could take a quick peek to see what's going on at each one. I watch the conference sites and wikis when I can and I watch use.perl, but not everyone posts info there. I think what I really want is a planet yapc aggregator like planet perl that could pull in blogs tagged with pre-arranged tags.

  • YAPC::NA Registration Open with Act Mon, 02-Apr-2007 by Jim Brandt

    In case you haven't seen it elsewhere registration for YAPC::NA is now open One really cool part about this is that it takes the Act! -hosted conference site to the next point of integration, which is accepting payments through the Perl Foundation's payment site This fulfills a large part of my call last year for a conference system I mentioned that Act was a start, but it wasn't open-source and

Note that the second project involves the TAP::Parser module This was a project I started, currently maintained on the CPAN by Andy Armstrong This is slated to be the replacement for Test::Harness. Because we're seeing more grant applications involving this module, I have decided

  • Mango Grant Update Sun, 01-Apr-2007 by Curtis "Ovid" Poe
    in: Grants

    Here are the latest update from the Mango grant. As a side note, we're working on a new process for getting grant information out even faster than we currently do If everyone signs off, this information should be much more timely. Update 1 I finally got desperate enough to find a solution I could live with after rolling my own config file format. So, I managed to convert the admin/roles/users

  • Adam Kennedy's Refactoring Editor Grant Sun, 25-Mar-2007 by Curtis "Ovid" Poe
    in: Grants

    First off, let's get the bad news out of the way. Here's Adam's final report on the PPI refactoring editor: It is with some sadness I think I will have to finally draw a line under this effort and consider it over. Without the appearance of a pure-Perl cross-platform programmer's text editor on the CPAN, I don't see how I can complete the proof of concept. The entire grant was

  • TPF and SoC 2007 Tue, 20-Mar-2007 by Bill Odom

    A few people have raised questions about TPF's lack of involvement in this year's Google Summer of Code wondering if TPF simply decided not to participate, or if there was more to the story. There is, and I hope this post will help answer the questions. The short version: We submitted an application to be a mentoring organization, but we weren't accepted. The longer version starts back in 2005, when
