[Vienna-pm] Fwd: Vienna.pm funding for Rakudo activities...?

[Roland Lammel]

Howdi,

Von mir gäbs schon mal ein ganz dickes ++. Da wir bei Jonathan auch sehr
kontrolliert (sprich im Halbjahresryhtmus) es steuern können, und der eine
Tag die Woche auch keine große Summe wär das toll.

Die Frage ist, ob die bedingungen gleich sein können wie bei Jonathan. Das
wäre am leichtesten zu Argumentieren und wir hätten für keine eine
Benachteiligung, da die Arbeit an ihrem Wert für Perl wohl gleichwertig ist.


Cheers
