  If there are things like books or t-shirts to sell, a silent auction will do. A live auction is only interesting if there are truly exceptional things. But if you have none, no need to make up something artificial. As...
• Commented on Is PCLI possible?
  Agreed. As I said in my previous answer, the list I wrote was not necessarily intended to be a PCLI specification, but more like "what a CLI program has to do", and starting from here, what points do we consider...
• Commented on Is PCLI possible?
  I mentioned that module to Matt, but PCLI would be a specification, not a module....
• Commented on Is PCLI possible?
  I don’t like environment variables, because it feels like some king of “hidden” information. Also, you can’t commit them. But many programs and modules make use of them, hence my including them in the discussion. I think that was...
• Commented on Is PCLI possible?
  I never had to deal with arguments outside ASCII, but reading P5P, I would say that it's better to leave the arguments in their original encoding. The main type of arguments outside ASCII are file names, but because they are...
• Posted Is PCLI possible? to Maddingue

  At the French Perl Workshop (and probably elsewhere before), Matt Trout talked about why and how some ideas could succeed and most other fail. An interesting talk. The last part was a rant against…

• Posted Beginning with an end to Maddingue

  The last day of September was also my last day at Orange, after 5 years and 9 months working there as a sysadmin/sysdev. Because I was "the Perl guy" other there, my last message couldn't be a standard "it's been a pleasure working with you blah blah". Obviously, I had to send a Perl…

• Commented on More stupid testing tricks
  Living as well in the real world, and even more, in the production world, I know the kind of problems you describe. "Upgrade! Upgrade!" isn't an answer when working on a non trivial production platform where 5.8 is the main...

  Go for it, Andrew!

  Now, if only we could find out where YAPC::NA::2013 will be held ... :-)

  Invite speakers from outside of our Perl echo-chamber!

  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

• Gábor Szabó - גאבור סבו 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.
