From tom at eborcom.com Sun Mar 2 11:05:10 2008 From: tom at eborcom.com (Tom Hukins) Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 19:05:10 +0000 Subject: Summer of Code -- volunteers needed Message-ID: <20080302190509.GA77662@eborcom.com> For the past few years, Google have run an annual "Summer of Code". Last year, Perl missed out on the opportunity to have Google pay for students to work on interesting code. If you'd like to get involved with making things happen this year, read the message below. Tom ----- Forwarded message from Eric Wilhelm ----- To: pm_groups at pm.org Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2008 19:03:41 -0800 From: Eric Wilhelm Subject: [pm_groups] Summer of Code -- volunteers needed Hi all, Volunteer pledge drive! Please forward this to your local PM groups. TPF needs volunteers to make summer of code happen this year. It sounds like the administrators got stretched too thin in 2005 and 2006, and we really didn't have ourselves together in 2007. So, I'm proposing a departmental structure under a TPF umbrella, which will localize the cat-herding effects within various large projects (so far, parrot and Catalyst appear to be on board with this.) I would like to demonstrate that we have our act together this year, so we need to get a solid pool of administrative volunteers and mentors together before the 8th. Administrative needs: (Contact ewilhelm at cpan.org or join #soc on irc.perl.org.) * backup administrator (reduce the bus number) * Department heads for p5p, "modules", etc * Suggestions about department structure Mentors and project ideas needed: We need to get these pages populated before March 8th or it is quite likely to be a no-go. Potential mentors, please add yourselves and your project ideas here: http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_mentors http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_projects If you hate wikis as much as I do, please visit this handy form and I will batch the wiki edits on your behalf. http://scratchcomputing.com/loveperlhatewiki.html Thanks, Eric -- We who cut mere stones must always be envisioning cathedrals. --Quarry worker's creed --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com --------------------------------------------------- -- Request pm.org Technical Support via support at pm.org pm_groups mailing list pm_groups at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/pm_groups ----- End forwarded message ----- From peter at dragonstaff.com Mon Mar 3 03:55:08 2008 From: peter at dragonstaff.com (Peter Edwards) Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2008 11:55:08 -0000 Subject: Steve Wozniak blasts iphone Message-ID: <011a01c87d25$816faa20$6401a8c0@DRAGON1> http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/03/03/steve-wozniak-blasts- iphone Heh.
