We are proud to announce that we will have the full-time three-day Partner Programme for the partners of the conference attendees.

There are a few small and big things that we did last week for the conference. Let us tell you about them.

Posted Make Gabor happy please to Andrew Shitov
Really, let's just stop doing that.
The thing is that people posting different--both long and short--messages online in their blogs, or commenting other people's opinion are doing one common mistake. They do not want to hear others.

That should be obvious that even after potential renaming of the current Perl 6 project it will not be possible to ship Perl 5.20 (or any other 5.x) as Perl 6, as it would be a disaster for web search....

Posted More on Perl 7 to Andrew Shitov
This hype about Perl 7 is so amazing, and even resembles the time when Perl 6 was around the corner :-) It's extremely interesting to read new posts and comments. Sometimes I find there thoughts similar to mine that I had a few minutes before reading that.

Posted The Joy of Perl to Andrew Shitov
Tomorrow is the 25th birthday of Perl. The Perl programming language.
When I've first heard about it, it was named PERL, the spelling that now is a nice indicator of awareness in the row with Perl and perl. Honestly, I never thought of Perl as of a practical extracting and re…

YAPC Presentation Recordings
An interesting thing to read is YAPC - Yet Another Perl Conference information and documentation (http://tpf.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/yapc/YAPC.pm)
I'd like to specifically highlight the following paragraph:
---
Before you think about anything to do with the organizing of an open source
conference, there is one important thing you need to remember throughout. The
conference is a means to bring together like minded souls, from all walks of
life, to meet and learn. The "all walks of life" is the important bit. We are
all very different people and… -

>I mentioned TPF not because I thought it was a large organization (I don't; I realize it's small and volunteer-run) but because I think it has grant money to give out (and there I'm right).
Just looking into this I guess an example are the Development grants. I wasn't aware these started initially with one for Damian. So even there is a possible for a "talented" individual if the community is afraid of a "community effort."

>Well, good luck then, anonymous. Let us know how it works out for you.
Thank you. If you feel like contributing, there is no cost. I won't charge you nor require you to prove you're brian d foy who makes money from books. All are welcome.
I took the liberty of associating your post here as the same user who posted as brian d foy on Shitov's link earlier? Or was that an anonymous poster masquerading? So apparently you already have a disdain for sharing information for those not able to attend a conference.

More on video recordings
Anyway, I do not feel comfortable communicating with an anonymous, even if there's a lot to discuss here, sorry.
He is pseudonymous, not anonymous.
Would you refuse to communicate with chromatic? Or Abigail? Or Father Chrysostomos? If this person had chosen to sign up as Robert Sander or Richard Lark or Walter Pilgrim, would it even have occurred to you that it might not be their real name? And even if it’s not, what difference does it make here? Do you know whether my name is in fact Aristotle? Whether anyone else who call themselves whatever they may cal…
