GSoC is a program where Google funds eligible students to hack on open source projects for a summer. It is a great opportunity for the students and the communities that mentor them. You also may be interested in this summary of our involvement last year [1]. Our application will be submitted by the end of this week. Please join us in getting prepared for this year. There is a page for possible mentors to volunteer [2]* as well as a page for project ideas [3]. If you would like to help with the wiki, our main GSoC page [4] is the best place to start. You are also invited to join our mailing list [5] and come ask question in #soc-help on irc.perl.org . Thanks!

Please share this info with your groups and local academic contacts. If you are a college student interested in Open Source software, now is the time to get involved. http://code.google.com/soc/ Each year, Google offers students the opportunity to spend their summer coding on open source projects. You propose a project, and if selected, you're assigned a mentor and provided a $4500 stipend. It is a competitive program to get into, but offers an amazing amount of real-world experience and the ability to get seriously involved in an open source project of your choosing. The Perl Foundation spans a wide variety of projects including Perl 5, Perl 6, and Parrot with many great mentors knowledgeable in areas ranging from language design, virtual machines, and compilers through web and desktop applications. This program is a great chance to get more involved in the Perl community and put a substantial project worth of source code in your portfolio. Applications are due April 9th. http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc Thanks, Eric -- http://pdx.pm.org -- 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 -- Always hold a grudge.

So, we will meet on Thursday, April 8 instead of Tuesday, April 13. We will still meet at the cPanel offices at 3131 W. Alabama St. We'll meet in the lobby area between 6:30 and 6:50, and start the meeting at 7pm. We have a number of possible topics, with some potential volunteers to present. * Intro to Object Oriented Perl with Moose * Getting stuff done with Perl One-Liners * Intro to LWP and WWW::Mechanize for Web Automation * Useful Core Perl modules * Using CPAN to avoid writing code * Perl Tips and Tricks Which of these topics is presented depends partly on who gets a presentation finished in time and which topics generate the most interest.

I would probably take a multi-step approach. I would look for a module on CPAN that reads the maildir format (for example, Email::Folder::Maildir, which I found from search.cpan.org). I would use that to match the To and From fields and remove any that I didn't want. The best way to find duplicates is probably through the use of a message digest and a hash. Walk the messages, passing each through Digest::SHA1 or Digest::MD5 and use the result as the key to a hash. If it already exists in the hash, delete the message. If not, add it to the hash. Admittedly, that's just an outline of an approach, but it should get you started. G.

The term "digest" was unfamiliar to me, but I recognize the concept from the git documentation, as I am in the process of switching backup from svn to git.

And I was unaware of > (or had forgotten about) search.cspan.org. The same concept is called a "hash" in crytpographic circles. But, that just confuses things when discussing Perl. SHA1 is the same algorithm that git uses. MD5 is somewhat less computationally expensive, but on a modern system it shouldn't matter. The important point is that if two messages have the same digest, they are the same message. Good luck, G.
