  djzort has opened a ticket on Act's repository on Git Hub (thanks)
  » https://github.com/book/Act/issues/39

• Gabor Szabo commented on Please Publish Perl Events on the LWN.net Calendar

  I'd suggest to have a github repository (e.g. under TPF) with the data in some simple format (e.g. json) as the "source". That could include conferences, workshops and even the regular perl monger meetings. A few volunteers would have direct write access to that repository and most others could fork and send patches.

  I'd volunteer to be one of the people to maintain this.

  Renee, what do you say? Could we start that together?

• reneeb commented on Please Publish Perl Events on the LWN.net Calendar

  Gabor, I would prefer to use existing ressources. BooK created a repository for the conferences/workshop/hackathon data: https://github.com/yapceurope/perl-events

• Gabor Szabo commented on Please Publish Perl Events on the LWN.net Calendar

  Renee, actually that perl-events yaml file looks like what I wanted to have.

• Mike B commented on POP3 with TLS in Perl

  Thanks for the pointer. Looking at it, it seems for SMTP rather than POP3; still might come in handy some day. I'm saving the link!
