Hi folks, and Happy New Year to all,

I'd like to let you know about the CPAN Pull Request Challenge:

"If you join the CPAN pull request challenge, then at the start of each 
month in 2015 you'll be emailed a (somewhat) randomly selected CPAN 
distribution. You'll have one month to submit at least one pull request. 
You don't have to be an experienced Perl programmer, CPAN author, or 
githubber. The goal is to help others, possibly learn something, and 
hopefully have a bit of fun."

So the idea (AIUI) is that you get assigned a random CPAN distribution 
each month, and during that month you visit the code repository, fix or 
update something, and send a pull request back to the author. I think 
there's no penalty if you don't manage to get anything done :-). The key 
thing is not to worry too much about your experience. You can ask here 
for help! Hopefully by December you'll have got the hang of it and 
perhaps learned a few things along the way.

For more information, follow one of the links on this summary page:
http://perlmaven.com/2015-cpan-pull-request-challenge

regards,
oliver.

Thanks Oliver, though as it happens I have already signed up. I got 
Module::Starter this month.

I have not been to a Perl mongers meeting since the one in Marlow before 
LPW. Have I been missing them, or have they not happened? When is the 
next meeting ?

Great, many thanks :-)

You haven't missed a meeting. I've had a bit of a hectic life outside 
of Perl so haven't had time to arrange anything (plus holiday season, 
no-one's around anyway).

There was vague talk of the next social being towards Oxford way to 
stick with the "on tour" theme within the Thames Valley. I'd be good if 
any list subscribers that way could let me know there's interest.

Otherwise as soon as I have some round tuits I'll try to arrange 
something :-)

regards,
oliver.

I'd be up for one in Oxford, =).
Based in Swindon, Oxford would be easy for me to get to, via train or coach, =).

Yours,

I am based in Oxford and would be keen to come along.

Happy to suggest venues if that's useful...
