[OT] re:advocacy at perl.com

[Paul <yd...@yahoo.com>]

Hi, all.
Nothing really new here -- just thought I'd note that perl.com has "a
budget to burn" and an open invitation for anything perl related.
Please see below; I repost the perl.com mailing in it's entirety
(please forgive the size, but I hate plagiarism. =o)

Greetings, perl.com subscribers. 

This is Schuyler Erle, web hacker for the O'Reilly Network, and it 
is my honor and pleasure to bring you the latest www.perl.com 
newsletter.  So, without further ado, here's what's new in the world 
of Perl.

* Perl gatherings.

The YAPC::Europe Call For Participation was issued last week, rounding 
out the Perl conference schedule for the summer. Send abstracts to 
papers@yapceurope.org before June 1st to have your presentations 
considered. YAPC::Europe will be held this year at the Hogeschool 
Holland, in Amsterdam, on August 2 through 4. According to the website,

they'll be holding Lightning Talks there, too, but I couldn't figure 
out, as of this writing, specifically where Lightning Talk proposals 
should be sent. You can find out more on YAPC::Europe at:

 http://www.yapc.org/Europe/
 
On a very important note, YAPC::Europe is still looking for sponsors! 
If you're in a position to help the community by making a grass-roots 
Perl conference possible, *please* contact info@yapceurope.org!

Meanwhile, YAPC::America::North will continue to accept regular 
presentation proposals until May 1st, and Lightning Talk proposals 
until May 31st.

* Rumors of Perl6's Demise Greatly Exaggerated.

So, chances are you're in the majority of people who has begun to
wonder 
what's going on with Perl 6? A ton of RFCs were sent it, mailing lists 
were set up, and now what? Well, wonder no more. The inimitable Simon 
Cozens is contributing a new regular department to www.perl.com with 
his perl6-mailing-lists digest. Much in the same vein as his 
ever-popular perl5-porters digest, Simon does the hard work of keeping 
up with the mailing lists, and you get to reap the rewards. How's that 
for a bargain?

Of course, as always, Simon also returns with his perl5-porters digest,

bringing us the latest hacks and fixes from the p5p list. This week, 
Simon talks about I/O layers, memory leaks, shared functions, and more.

* Picture yourself ... on www.perl.com!

Meanwhile, in a different movie, we'd like to invite you, our reader, 
to consider submitting articles for publication on www.perl.com. We've 
got a budget to burn on interesting and useful articles of all shapes, 
sizes, and topics. Our only hard and fast requirements are that 
submissions be Perl-related, and evince the kind of quality and 
accuracy that we've all come to associate with the O'Reilly name. 
Send whatever you got to our Open Source editor, Chris Coleman, at 
ccoleman@oreilly.com. Don't delay! Editors are standing by! 

Until next week, fair Perl hackers! We now return you to your regularly

scheduled E-mail.

you know I'd never (see my .sig) plug anything (see my .sig) like
that in the body (see my .sig) of a message.  That'd be
(see my .sig) crass commercialism.

Actually careful there - I'm almost finished on packaging up the Take23
CMS system to stick on CPAN. It will, of course, require AxKit :-)

To be fair, I think Matt promotes AxKit more than he promotes take23. You 
see, whenever he promotes take23, he usually writes it in the context of 
AxKit but not so much vice versa, so AxKit plugs > Take23 plugs.

And let's not forget the CPAN trick you can pull for AxKit 
dependencies.  (Just kidding).. Just don't commit take23 to CPAN...

perl -MCPAN -eshell
 >install AxKit
Oh... I see you don't have the "dependency" Bundle::Take23... OK, now 
installing all take23 articles into your Perl distribution...

Is it now?

Too tired to think of clever plugs for myself or I would be doing so.

Geez, Matt, you promote take23 every chance you get.  

That's worse than me mentioning Avacet (www.avacet.com), Perl Cache
(sourceforge.net/projects/perl-cache), and the fact that I'm looking
for a job (www.unto.net/resume.html).  ;)

I wonder if I should write them an article about take23, and then use the
funds to pay for articles for take23.... :-)
