<br>
The contest isn't until Wednesday night. Up till that point the
judges will be doing proving runs and code review, which is why
the call for code submissions was made for this evening in order
to give us enough time. We certainly have enough time to fix
whatever went wrong with the Perl 6 installation on the server.
Could you hop on irc.perl.org and join the #dfwpm channel so we
can work it out?<br>
<br>
Please watch this list for the online meeting invite. We will
be streaming live over the internet via Google Hangouts and
YouTube and hope you will be part of the online meeting so you
can discuss your Perl 6 work. You'll need a working microphone
and speakers (webcam optional).<br>
