* Talk Proposals

The deadline for talk proposals in by 12 September 2008.

The Pittsburgh Perl Workshop 2008 is the perfect opportunity to share
your ideas, code, and projects with masses of code-loving Perl
hackers. Shouldn't you have a speaking slot at this year's event?
Shouldn't you experience the full, PPW-powered glory that only
speakers can know?

Of course you should!

Haven't you ...
done interesting stuff for Perl?
written cool code?
seen the future of Perl?
got a story to tell?
got a trick to share?

In fact, if you have anything to say that would interest Perl people,
we want to hear you say it!

Just go to http://pghpw.org and submit a talk proposal. It's that easy.

But don't delay. Get your proposal in by 12 September 2008 -- or else
you might miss out.

Seize the day! Own the fun! Submit a talk proposal for PPW 2008 now!

Subject: [pm_groups] New Perl Projects
Date: Monday 15 September 2008 15:03
From: Lyle <webmaster at cosmicperl.com>
To: pm_groups at pm.org

Hi All,
We started a number of new Perl projects. I'd appreciate it if you could
forward at least some of the details of these onto your groups.

The projects are:-
Perl Certified Hosting
Free Perl Course Project
Perl Donation (from everybody)
Perl Certification
(Please note you need to remove the ** from the domain names, this is
because they were being picked up an inaccurate filter)

Details below:-

Perl Certified Hosting
The idea for this project was put forth by Amias of Bristol & Bath Perl
Mongers. We are creating a Perl Certified Hosting scheme that will be
open for all hosting companies to join.
Requirements will include a set list of web related Perl Modules and
proper webserver configuration.
Please visit the site:-
http://www.perl**certifiedhosting.com
For more details and to get involved with helping this scheme become a
reality.


Free Perl Course Project
The idea in this project is that every Perl programmer teach at least
one other person to code. Be that a family member, friend, work
colleague, employee, friend of a friend, or even friend of an employee.
Following the success of the Free Perl Course offered by Bristol & Bath
Perl Mongers this project has been started to encourage other Perl
groups and programmers to do the same.
Please check out the site:-
http://www.perl**project.org


Perl Donation (from everybody)
This scheme has been started with the aim to give the Perl 6 development
budget a big boost.
http://www.perl**donate.com
Please take the time to make your small donation. The aim is that we all
make a small donation so that it amounts to a lot.


Perl Certification
I've been starting a Perl Certification list, this time not for debate,
but for actually starting a certification scheme. I know this can be a
very touchy subject, but we'd like to put together a working solution
that people can evaluate.
http://www.perl**cert.com
