We plan to bring you the low-down on tech culture from Iceland, Russia, South Africa and every place in between, from grass roots coding in solitary rooms, through the hopes and dreams of start-ups, via the pioneering work done by governments, charities and direct action groups, to the sizeable contributions of the major corporations that grace this territory. Our main line of reportage will be technology, but we're keen to dive into ecology, business, media, the arts, academia whenever we learn something we'd like to pass on. But we want this to be a two-way conversation. Please let us know what you're working on, comment on the stuff we write about, tell us what we're doing right and what we're doing wrong. We built this site to reflect what's going on: you know better than us, so please, join us!

(Also feel free to break into a discussion as to whether or how students are involved in the perl community, what we can do to connect with more universities and etc.) The Perl Foundation is participating in Google's 2008 Summer of Code(tm) and we have a lot of capable, willing mentors looking forward to working with some talented, driven students. So, we would like you to help find those students (and quickly -- the students must apply before March 31th.) This is a rare opportunity for students to get a chance to get a paid summer of hacking on exciting projects like Parrot, Perl 6, Moose, Jifty, SVK, Catalyst, or their very own Perl modules or applications. It also brings new talent into the community and gives the student a hefty "real world" experience with a knowledgable mentor. Further, employers love to see this sort of demonstration of teamwork, handling deadlines, communication skills, resourcefulness and etc. We're looking for promising students who are interested in open source (or maybe you know someone who *should* be interested in open source.) Knowledge of Perl is optional if the project is Parrot-related. The student doesn't need to be an expert in the problem domain (after all, learning is part of the process), but should bring a big pile of creativity, problem-solving skills, and determination. Students should review the page of suggested projects, but are encouraged to bring their own proposals (those are often the best.) The most important first step is getting in touch with the community and discussing their project idea with potential mentors. http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_projects Additional information and links can be found here. http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008 Google has posted some flyers if you happen to have a university bulletin board or hallway handy: http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocFlyers Additional info: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html (Note that google has particular requirements to do with the fact that they are paying the students. The student must be able to show their eligibility regarding enrollment and employability.) Remember, the Perl community draws talent from many fields, so if you came to Perl from a non-computer-science major and still have contacts in that department from your university, it is probably worth mentioning to them.

They aren't breaking news about the hottest new technologies, they're step by step guides to common but sometimes complicated procedures you may have to tackle. In the first installment, Juliet Kemp gives us a checklist that should have your Apache server running SSL in nothing flat. <* http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2008/03/04/step-by-step-configuring-ssl-under-apache.html * > ***Using Zend Studio for PHP Programming Most programmers are familiar with Eclipse, and PHP programmers are familiar with Zend Studio. But, like two great tastes that taste good together, the two have now been combined into a single tool. Learn how you can use Zend Studio to make your PHP programming more productive. <* http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2008/03/04/using-zend-studio-for-php-programming.html * > ***Aperture 2 Features 101-103 with Joe Schorr Apple's web page says, "Aperture 2 delivers over 100 dramatic, new features." And still there are a few terrific ones they forgot to put on the list. In this podcast, Derrick Story chats with Joe Schorr, Senior Product Manager for Aperture, to uncover a few of these hidden gems. <* http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/digitalmedia/2008/03/18/aperture-2-features-101to103.html * > ***Reverse Callback Templating Many programmers know of the two main systems of templating. One embeds actual source code into the template. The other provides a mini language with loops, conditionals, and other control structures. There is a third way -- a reverse callback system. James Robson explains this best-of-both-worlds approach by demonstrating Perl's Template::Recall module. <*http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2008/03/14/reverse-callback-templating.html* > ***Audio Insights from the 2008 Game Developers Conference To hear the future of audio, listen to video games. Interactive Audio expert Kurt Heiden did just that at the Game Developers Conference.

Thanks, Claes Jakobsson, Stockholm.pm --- Nordic Perl Workshop 2008 - Call for Papers & Participation ----------------------------------------------------------- Stockholm Perl Mongers and its fellow Nordic Perl Mongers arranges the annual Nordic Perl Workshop in Stockholm, Sweden on the 24th and 25th of May (over a weekend). This is the second time the workshop is arranged in Stockholm and the 6th time in total. The venue for this years workshop is located right next to Vasaparken near Odenplan, in the heart of Stockholm. During summertime this is a green oasis where one can chill in the grass, watch people or take a break in some of the park's coffee-shops. Odenplan also offers a wide range of restaurants and pubs in it's vicinity. Nordic Perl Workshop is a workshop for the community by the community and we want you to submit interesting and inspiring presentations in order to make the workshop successful. Talk lengths are the usual 20 and 40 minutes but we might consider longer ones if motivated. Any subject is welcome as long as it's related to Perl somehow - from algorithms for social graphing and web-technologies to Perl5 core optimizations and language implementation targeting the Parrot VM. To submit a talk either do it online on the workshop website[1] or to claes at surfar.nu . If submitting via email please prefix the subject with [NPW]. Please submit talks no later than Friday 2nd of May. Accepted speakers will be notified Monday 5th of May. Apart from speakers the workshop also requires eager participants. Workshop fee is 500 SEK (~ 55 EUR) and there's a reduced fee at 250 SEK (~ 28 EUR) for students. This includes admission to the workshop and coffee. Registration is done via the website[1] which uses ACT so if you have attended a previous workshop registration is dead simple. [1] Website is not online yet but we're working on it really hard. The URL is as always http://www.perlworkshop.dk/ Important dates to remember: May 2nd - Deadline for talk submission May 5th - Speakers will be notified May 16th - Registration closes May 23th - Pre-work gathering for early arrivals May 24-25th - Nordic Perl Workshop 2008 Hope to see you in Stockholm.
