 This week, we see the emergence of a new convention/conference platform
mostly geared toward boardgame conventions, from the fine folks who already
brought us the GameCrafter. Plus a few articles dealing with testing. Plus
the usual smattering of Perl6 and module releases. Enjoy! ~ `/anick

  Technology for automating deployments: the agony of choice
  http://perlgeek.de/blog-en/automating-deployments/2016-011-alternatives.html

  When there are no alternatives, you know exactly where you stand (in a
  canoe, floating in the middle of that well-known creek) and what need to
  be done (find a paddle, stat). But when the options are legions, they
  trigger decision paralysis. Moritz reviews a few of the many, many tools
  out there having to do with automated deployment (and shares which ones
  he's typically reaching for).

  http://blogs.perl.org/users/melezhik/2016/02/am-i-reinventing-a-wheel.html

  melezhik has written a plugin for his outthentic tool that reports and
  monitors disk usage. He is, however, wondering if he might not be
