Heya, Andy

Welcome to Oslo.pm! :)

Yeah, Damian's talks rock.

Hm... That would probably be a good idea, yes. We have a github account where 
I've been putting together a replacement for Oslo.pm's old pages (who are 
hosted by the Perl NOC somewhere in California).

Wanna have a look at it? (Anyone can, actually, give me a ping and I'll invite 
anyone who wants to help).

   https://github.com/oslo-pm/oslo-pm.github.io
   git at github.com:oslo-pm/oslo-pm.github.io.git

I'm rather keen on getting away from our old setup (it's SVN-based, and it's a 
pain to give new people access to it :-|)

Not entirely shore who's managing that site. Pretty sure someone on #perl6 can 
help though. But yes, there's room for improvement here, and having an 
improved version of it on our site is a good idea. :)

I'm a fan of tadzik's rakudobrew (https://github.com/tadzik/rakudobrew)

Pretty straightforward, but perhaps not optimized for "regular" deployment.
I also see that hoelzro has made a Docker image of Rakudo Star (see 
https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/hoelzro/rakudo-star/tags/manage/). Maybe 
worth a look?

In any case, yes, there's room for improvement, and I'd love to help.
