  • Help Wanted: SOAP::Lite Wed, 02-May-2007 by Jim Brandt

    Here's my first Help Wanted entry. SOAP::Lite needs your help. Byrne Reese has posted a good assessment of the state of the SOAP::Lite Read on for details. To start, SOAP::Lite works. That is, it works well for easy things and you can get it to work for complicated things. But it needs help and it's going to need more help in the near future. SOAP is becoming more and more

  • Help Wanted: Perl Coding Needed Wed, 02-May-2007 by Jim Brandt

    I often hear this: "I'd get involved in Perl, but all the cool stuff is done and there's no room to make a name for myself. No one needs another DBI module..." or even: "All the cool kids are using because they don't have CPAN yet and they can become the uber-programmer for the cool modules." Well, to these I say, "Nonsense!" There is a ton of work to be

  • Perl Events, Great and Small Tue, 10-Apr-2007 by Jim Brandt

    There are so many Perl events around the world now that I thought I'd take a shot at categorizing how they all relate to one another. I thought this might help people thinking about attending something for the first time, people thinking about presenting something and also people thinking about organizing an event. For people thinking about becoming more involved in the Perl community, this presents a sort of ladder

  • 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

  • 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
