From gabor at szabgab.com Tue Feb 3 02:30:10 2015 From: gabor at szabgab.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 12:30:10 +0200 Subject: [Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] An apology and a bonus ink Message-ID: Hi there, sorry to interrupt your mid-week work schedule, but we (the editors) thought it might be better to do this ASAP. Here is what Neil Bowers wrote: ============================================ Hi, This is a apology for one of my entries in this week?s Perl Weekly (PW), linking to an article by Frew Schmidt (FREW). I won?t repeat it here, since it offended some readers the first time, but here?s Frew?s article: https://blog.afoolishmanifesto.com/posts/docker-first-impressions/ This was intended as a joke, and one I felt I could get away with, given my knowledge of, and respect for, Frew. But humour doesn?t always travel well, and many of you don?t know either Frew or myself. In that light, this was inappropriate for Perl Weekly and I apologise. The editors of the Perl Weekly have agreed a style guide going forward: no profanity, and no questionable humour. The Perl Weekly is an *edited* collection of links though, so there will always be an editorial voice. So you get some Perl content with this email, here?s a link to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa's chat about Perl 5 with Perl Pumpking Ricardo Signes at FOSDEM: http://rebuild.fm/77/ And for the record, Frew generally does know what he?s talking about :-) Neil ============================================ It's not all the fault of Neil of course. I should have also noticed and replaced that text before sending out the email, but I missed it. Sorry for that. Now go back to your regular Perl coding and blogging, please. regards Gabor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
