Hi there! after dragging my feet way too long, finally I've started to record and publish my new podcast. It is called CMOS that stands for Code-Maven Open Source and while it is planned to cover many open source projects I've started with a couple of Perl-related interviews. See the specific links below and if you liked them, subscribe to the podcast! In other news, YAPC::EU has ended and you can find a number of reports at the end of the newsletter. Enjoy your week and the remaining of your summer (or winter) holidays. Gabor |
