See also my tweet and Google+ post about this video.
Update for Sun May 27 10am-ish EDT. . . Whoops, I should have included Stevan Little in the title of this post:
He's unnamed Perl contributor in the first image I posted. I'm listening to the original audio of the lecture from which the RSA Animate video is based and was able to find http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/project.cfm?id=685 which links to http://cpan-explorer.org/category/authors/ which is where I found this second image. See also slide 29 from the slides of the talk. The first image is obviously an illustration of the second image. Very cool. I love this stuff. And I had never heard about http://cpan-explorer.org which is just fabulous.
Also a made a second Google+ post that links back to this one.
I blog about Perl.
That's pretty cool to see the Perl community used as an example of networking. Thanks for posting it.
You're welcome, Andy. Thanks for all your contributions to Perl!
It was fun to watch this video and recognize names such as Aristotle, Darwin, Diderot, and... Andy Lester?!? I wasn't sure if you guys knew you were going to be in this video. If I were you, I'd look out for a PDF of the entire drawing that should be available some day for cheap from http://www.cognitivemedia.co.uk/index.php/digital.html . You're in good company. :)
I wonder who the unnamed Perl contributor with a beard and glasses is. The one who is left of Adrian and above Gisle, I mean. There are too many faces at http://hexten.net/cpan-faces/ for me to easily figure it out. I guess that's a good thing. :)
Ah, the guy with the beard and the glasses must be Stevan Little, based on what I'm seeing at http://cpan-explorer.org/category/authors/ via http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/project.cfm?id=685
Heh. Nice. Thanks for pointing it out.
Feels slightly odd to have not-my-words coming out of my caricature though (as if I'd say that about perl :-)
