  • 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

    Here's the latest grant update as sent to NLNet The 0.4.8 release Parrot marked the completion of a design milestone, the IO PDD. This is a major accomplishment, as the design work on IO impacts much of Parrot's design, including areas such as concurrency and networking.

  • A Conference Toolkit (ACT) Goes Open Source Fri, 26-Jan-2007 by Jim Brandt

    A while ago I blogged that I really wanted a Perl-based conference toolkit that YAPCs and other conferences could use so they didn't spend time hacking on the website when they should be organizing the conference. Well, the folks who work on ACT have been working to fulfill some of the items I presented and earlier today they officially announced that it is open source with a dual GPL/Artistic license.

  • Perl Hackathons Gaining Steam Wed, 27-Dec-2006 by Jim Brandt

    It seems the Chicago hackathon organized by Andy Lester and Pete Krawczyk and sponsored by the Perl Foundation has sparked some interest from other groups. We think these events are a great way to support Perl, use your donations effectively, and keep things rolling on various active projects. Now we need some ideas on how we should keep things going. I think hackathons will largely be regional events. This is
