Subject: [pm_groups] White Camel Nominations<br>
<br>
-----begin message----<br>
<br>
Every year the White Camels are presented for service to the Perl<br>
community.<br>
<br>
If you look at the previous winners, you'll notice that these are mostly<br>
unsung heroes, like previous awardee Eric Cholet, the human moderator of<br>
so many Perl mailing lists, or Jay Hannah, one of the people running<br>
<a href="http://pm.org" target="_blank">pm.org</a> (if you ever created/maintained a pm group, chances are that Jay<br>
walked you through the process).<br>
<br>
Some of these people may be well known, like Allison Randal or Randal<br>
Schwartz, while others may be complete strangers to at least part of the<br>
globe, like Josh McAdams or Jay. Some of them may be extreme Perl<br>
hackers who created the original JAPH, but they actually received this<br>
award as a recognition for their community contributions to Perl rather<br>
than for their programming ability.<br>
<br>
That's not to say a great hacker can't receive the award, but you don't<br>
have to be one in order to be eligible.<br>
<br>
That being said, the nomination process for the 2009 White Camels is now<br>
open.<br>
<br>
If you think there's someone who deserves a White Camel, this is the<br>
time for you to send in your nominations. Send them to<br>
<a href="mailto:whitecamel-suggestions@pm.org">whitecamel-suggestions@pm.org</a>, if possible with a subject along the<br>
lines of "White Camel Nomination :: $name". Make sure you properly<br>
identify the nominee and tell us why you think that's a worthy<br>
nomination.<br>
<br>
Don't go thinking "nah, somebody else will do it" because: a) everybody<br>
else may be thinking the same, and b) you may state your case<br>
differently than the next person.<br>
<br>
We'll be receiving nominations until June 21, 2009, by midnight, but<br>
don't wait up or you'll forget. Do it now!<br>
