Hi,

Olaf and the MetaCPAN project are taking on two more interns for the GNOME

The White Camel Awards for 2014 were announced this week, and I was
humbled.

If you're celebrating any kind of holiday in the coming week, have a good
one!

Recruitment

  My Perl recruitment thoughts
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/brian_d_foy/2014/12/my-perl-recruitment-thoughts.html

  brian posted his thoughts on perl and recruitment, in response to Dave's
  post last week
  ("http://perlhacks.com/2014/12/perl-recruitment-thoughts/"). Hard to
  distil down to a pithy one-liner, but here's one good soundbite: "Pay
  doesn't matter if you suck".

  problems please. Fun in POD-land
  ("http://techblog.babyl.ca/entry/fun-with-pod") Yanick goes to town about
  his new craziness, Pod::Knit ("https://github.com/yanick/Pod-Knit"),

  knitting and dancing kittens. I made one of those up.
