If you don't have a GitHub account yet, them please sign up to GitHub - you'll need it anyway in order to send the pull request. <o:p></o:p></p><p>On the other hand having a PAUSE account is not a requirement, but Neil would like to to know if you have. <o:p></o:p></p><h2>2015 CPAN Pull Request Challenge<o:p></o:p></h2><p>a while ago I asked you about contribution to Open Source code. I got plenty of answers and I have been working on some solution, but in the meantime Neil Bowers created something that I think will help quite a few people. He created the "2015 CPAN Pull Request Challenge". <o:p></o:p></p><p>The idea is that if you sign up, then once a month you'll be allocated a random CPAN module and your task is to make some improvement and send it to the author of the module in the form of a GitHub pull request. <o:p></o:p></p><p>I think this is an excellent way to get involved. <o:p></o:p></p><p>As Neil wrote, quite a few people have signed up, many of them were new to CPAN and open source contribution. <o:p></o:p></p><p>There are quite a few articles about the subject, but if you'd like to join the challenge, just send and e-mail to Neil: <a href="mailto:neil@bowers.com">neil@bowers.com</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p>On <a href="http://perlmaven.com/2015-cpan-pull-request-challenge">this page</a> I have collected the articles published so far about the challenge. <o:p></o:p></p><p>regards<br>Gabor <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
