From ace at tommybutler.me Thu Sep 10 14:31:52 2015 From: ace at tommybutler.me (Tommy Butler) Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2015 16:31:52 -0500 Subject: [DFW.pm] upcoming meeting - One Perl Per Child Message-ID: This coming monday the 14th we will be holding our regular monthly meeting. At our last meeting we discussed the direction we would like to take with future meetings, and one topic emerged as the most preferred: OPPC, or One Perl Per Child. OPPC is a project of our own conception whose overall focus is bringing Perl to the next generation by developing and providing a completely libre curriculum, geared toward the young, for use in schools, homes, and other institutions. It's just a brainchild right now (pun possibly intended), and even the name could change. The intent of this email is to basically ask the group if they'd like to make this the focus of the next meeting. Presently it is our intention to do so, but I'd like to both introduce everyone to the idea and solicit your feedback. -- Tommy Butler, John Fields -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think OPPC is a wonderful example of the values and initiative which define the Perl community! Now that I've watched the video here are a few thoughts I'd have shared if I were awake at the time:) * You should get in touch with Alex Muntada who's currently the maintainer of http://dev.perltuts.com/ I think some of the groundwork is in place there. Particularly in the international/multilingual context. * Given that you're embarking on a big project, and it's targeting children, I'd recommend you look into Perl 6 rather than Perl 5. Perl 5 is in my veins now but I think back to the challenge of Perl 5's sigils. Larry's desire as a linguist to make Perl a natural language has been tempered by the observation that it's not an easy language to learn. For Perl 6 he's focussed on making Perl a good first language too. * Geekuni is powered by an AI tutor-bot which provides lots of automated feedback to the trainee so that when they come to asking a question, it's very well formulated and all the silly bugs have been ironed out. It's not on CPAN yet since it's still being rapidly changed, however the ideas behind it are "open source" and I gave a talk on this at YAPC::EU a couple of weeks ago. Alas there's no video but I'm happy to present it again. If you'd like to play with Geekuni to get a feel for my spin on how programming should be taught, send me an email.

Very cool. It's also fascinating that you are using Moops, which is extremely transformative imo. It's so called sugar really makes programming in Perl even more awesome, to an extent that I couldn't describe at length without some good preparation. When I first used it, it felt like what it must feel to step into a high performance car for the first time and try out 'ludacris mode'. You folks are using some pretty hot technologies, which one could call very bleeding edge in comparison to what many other companies are doing. It sounds like lots of fun. -- Tommy Butler On Sun, Sep 20, 2015 at 4:48 PM, Nathan Dyck via DFW-pm wrote: > I may not have been clear on what I meant by, "We support open source", We > are not working on a specific open source project, but we simply believe in > contributing back to the community through pull requests and anything else > we find we can do to help.
