Perl Weekly
Issue #258 - 2016-07-04 - Where are the YAPC::NA blog posts?
latest | archive | edited by Neil Bowers

After most conferences we usually see a flurry of blog posts.
These can be helpful when deciding what talk videos
to watch. There haven't been many post-YAPCNA this year.
So a request: when you go to a conference, please consider writing a blog post afterwards,
even just a short one. It's helpful and interesting for those of us who can't attend. And we Perl Weekly editors appreciate it too :-)

Dave looked into a CPAN Testers fail for one of his modules, and to fix it he ended up fixing something in someone else's module. He's not finished yet though!

Tom posted that he was going to delete Geo::Coder::Geocoder::US from CPAN, but then discussion in the comments resulted in Tom deciding to deprecate the module, and possibly delete it from CPAN at some later date.

Conferences
|
by Kivanc Yazan (KYZN)
The recent YAPC::NA was Kivanç's first; here he shares just 5 of the things he learned. I feel he's holding back, as I'm sure Kivanç learned more than 5 things!

I want to encourage more first time speakers, particularly at LPW. As part of that I'm questions of good / experienced speakers. What question should I ask, and of whom?

A great post about what makes a good commit message, and why you should do this.

If you're championing open-source at your employer, and they're not buying it, this might provide some ammunition.
