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 Lyle ** Must be removed from all domain names -- Request pm.org Technical Support via support at pm.org pm_groups mailing list pm_groups at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/pm_groups -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
