2013.01.01 in #762012 Year End Report
I think this is the first time I see a detailed annual report from The Perl Foundation. It is much needed. Thank you Dan Wright!. (And to be true to my never satisfied self, I'd like to see an even more detailed report regarding the sources of money and the actual spending. Which grant received how much etc.) ~ Gabor

The YAPC::NA::2016 call for speakers is now open! There must be something you could talk about: Perl 5, Perl 6, the transition between the two (either way!), some other programming language, or some other topic you think may be of interest to programmers.

2017.08.03 in #315TPC::NA 2017 Finance Report
I love transparency in finances of The Perl Foundation and the Perl events. It seems with the years smaller and smaller percentage of attendees were paying. After a peak of expenses in 2015, it seems the budgets is getting saner again. Oh and BTW the organizers are open for more volunteers to join them for the 2018 event!
