Mohammad Anwar has done at least one CPAN release per day for the last 1000 days, adopting a bunch of CPAN distributions along the way. His passion for help CPAN and CPAN authors, is admirable!

Check out the list of talks for TPC::EU, which has now been finalised. And if you're going to TPC::EU, you could help out the EPO, if you're going to be there the day before the conference proper starts.
