brian d foy explains how the Master Classes he started to run at YAPC::Chicago in 2006 helped financing some of the speakers. IMHO, as I also wrote already this is a win-win and such training classes can even help sponsoring other parts of the conference.

A long thread of discussion on HackerNews that of course diverges to the discussion of OOP in Perl and sigils and whatnot.

It is Neil Bowers again (I really hope he will create a post linking to all of his CPAN-day related posts) showing how the number of bugs on RT are steadily growing (but not even looking at bugs reported elsewhere). More importantly he created a list of the to 20 distributions in terms of open RT tickets. There are some very important modules in that list! Go ahead, you can fix a bug or at least write a test case.

Instead of that, if your code uses https then declare a dependency on LWP::Protocol::https.

Another thing you can do to help CPAN and the Perl ecosystem.

Michael Greb shows how to use CPAN::Mini to create a local copy of CPAN, and how to use it with cpanm, cpanp, or with good old cpan.
