Last year the MetaCPAN team held meta::hack, a hackathon where they worked on MetaCPAN. You can read about it in <a href="http://www.olafalders.com/2016/12/01/metahack-wrap-up-report/">Olaf's summary</a>. That was so successful that they've decided to have another one this year. The core MetaCPAN team will be meeting up in Chicago for four days of intensive work on MetaCPAN and friends. They're still looking for sponsorship; this would be a great way for companies to support the Perl community.

You might have come across this already, but if you haven't, then you should read it. If a CSV has a cell starting with =, then when you open the CSV in Excel, the formula will be evaluated. And depending what's in the formula, that could be bad.
