Hi Ed,

I was hoping you might tell me how to get word out to your Perl group
regarding a consulting opportunity in Ann Arbor.  I don't want to come off
as a spammer in your Perl group so I thought I should ask permission.

Here's what I am trying to locate someone for:

Skills required:
================
- SuSE Experience
- Apache custom builds
- PERL experience/site development
- email experience/email databases

Highly Desirable Skills:
========================
- Berkley Database
- Migrating mail databases

Willing to work on an on-call basis.

The client recognizes they are way behind on technologies and wants someone
who can figure out their current infrastructure, then plan and execute an
orderly migration to new servers, with solid and well-documented current
tech.

If you or someone you know is interested their need is immediate, but
short-term in nature.  There might be a long-term opportunity but not
necessarily.  People who are already long-term employed are probably not
appropriate candidates therefore.

Thanks for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Clay

This is an interesting concept. 30 people will be selected to receive free Perl training at the "Perl College" - paid for by sponsors eager to hire them into their Perl shop! (Why can't all colleges be this easy?)

Subject: [pm_groups] Introducing The Perl College


What is the Perl College?

        The Perl College is a creative merger of job training and job
        fairs. Here are its primary goals:

        * Provide free top quality training to qualified
          junior level Perl developers
        * Improve their Perl skills to the intermediate level
        * Match the new graduates with Perl jobs in the hiring companies
        * http://perlhunter.com/college.html

        The Perl College was created to address these issues in
        recruiting Perl coders:

        * A shortage of intermediate level Perl developers
        * A surplus of junior level Perl developers
        * Some are not developing Perl full time
        * Many are looking for a career developing Perl but can't get
          needed training and experience
        * Companies lacking the resources to train Perl developers

        We are currently seeking both sponsors and students for this
        unique education/recruitment opportunity.

Hiring Sponsors: Thirty great applicants - cheap!

        Imagine how much it would cost in both time and money to find
        and train a qualified applicant for your Perl jobs. The Perl
        College dramatically improves the efficiency of this process by
        pre-screening and accepting only the most motivated
        students. Then we take it one step further. We take those
        already highly motivated students and train them up to a solid
        intermediate level of Perl skills. Efficiency, cost
        effectiveness and quality results - what could be better for
        your Perl recruitment needs?

Student Candidates: Put yourself ahead of the competition.

        If selected you will have a week of free training from Damian
        Conway (valued at $3000). Plus you will exposed to employers who
        are actively seeking intermediate level Perl developers.
        Competition to get in will be fierce so put your best foot
        forward. Don't wait to apply as we will take only the thirty
        most qualified students.

For more information on The Perl College, and how to apply to be a
sponsor or a student go to these pages:

        http://perlhunter.com/college.html
        http://perlhunter.com/sponsors.html
        http://perlhunter.com/students.html

Thanks,

Uri Guttman, Dean of The Perl College

Anyone have any interesting ideas for mentoring a Perl project for Google's Summer of Code? The Perl Foundation hasn't been accepted for this the past couple of years, mainly due to lack of organization, but it looks like they could be this year. They are accepting mentor sign-ups and project ideas on the wikis below. Due to Google's application deadline, they need to finish sign-ups THIS WEEK.

Perl Foundation sign-up wikis:

  http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_mentors
  http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_projects

Subject: [pm_groups] Summer of Code -- volunteers needed

Hi all,

Volunteer pledge drive!  Please forward this to your local PM groups.

TPF needs volunteers to make summer of code happen this year.  It sounds
like the administrators got stretched too thin in 2005 and 2006, and we
really didn't have ourselves together in 2007.  So, I'm proposing a
departmental structure under a TPF umbrella, which will localize the
cat-herding effects within various large projects (so far, parrot and
Catalyst appear to be on board with this.)  I would like to demonstrate
that we have our act together this year, so we need to get a solid pool
of administrative volunteers and mentors together before the 8th.


Administrative needs:

  (Contact ewilhelm at cpan.org or join #soc on irc.perl.org.)

  * backup administrator (reduce the bus number)

  * Department heads for p5p, "modules", etc

  * Suggestions about department structure


Mentors and project ideas needed:

We need to get these pages populated before March 8th or it is quite
likely to be a no-go.

Potential mentors, please add yourselves and your project ideas here:

  http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_mentors
  http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_projects


If you hate wikis as much as I do, please visit this handy form and I
will batch the wiki edits on your behalf.

Thanks,
Eric
