Hi, YAPC::NA is over and I am writing this from a friend's place near Milwaukee. This is a very good friend from my high-school years whom, I have not seen for 15 years. I stayed with his family before the conference and came back for a few more days. I enjoy being with them very much and I don't know how many years will pass till I can see them again! There are not many items this week, as many of the regular authors were busy at YAPC::NA, but reports about the confrence started to appear, so I am including some of them. YAPC::EU is getting closer. The deadline to submit talk proposals is 15th July. Right after YAPC::EU you can also participate at the Moose Hackathon organized by the Oslo Perl Mongers. The deadline to sign up to the hackathon is 25th June! Just a week from now. It looks awesome (as all the other events the Oslo.PM organizes). Check it out! Now to the posts... Gabor Szabo |

Announcements
|
Salve Nielsen and the Oslo Perl Mongers are organizing another event. I have been to two events they organized and both were extremely good. And this one, well, just look at the picture. The best location ever. (Though I don't know how can you do any hacking there.) |
Articles
|
Yanick provides a detailed solution for the Party Planner project. |
Community
|
How does the Perl world look like to the 95% of people who are not using IRC? asked chromatic. They are missing out on a lot of conversations. They are not kept up-to-date with the latest trends of the Perl community. (Which might be actually good sometimes.) The Perl Weekly is actually trying to fill the void a bit, but it is far from a perfect solution. |
Perl and Science
|
by Jeffrey Kegler (JKEGL) It seems there was a lull in news about Marpa - the new parsing algorithm, but now Jeffrey Kegler has announced this new, alpha version of the package. This is faster then the previous versions and does not require Glib. |

Discussion
|
by Steven Haryanto (SHARYANTO) Steven Haryanto wrote a script using Mojo::DOM to fetch the list of modules an individual author has in Debian. Several others quickly replied with examples how to fetch this information from MetaCPAN. |
Books
|
by Curtis 'Ovid' Poe (OVID) Ovid mentiones that his new, not-yet-published book is now available free of charge for on-line readers. Go read it while it is available. |

Code

by Viacheslav Tykhanovskyi (VTI) An interesting story in which Viacheslav Tykhanovskyi (vti) is surprised by the different behavior of Time::Local on perl 5.10 and perl 5.14. |

YAPC::NA reports
A selection of reports about YAPC::NA that ended a few days ago.

by brian d foy (BDFOY) Originally suggested by brian d foy, MDK wants to take the idea of 'Lunch with a celebrity' one step further and get it more organized. I personally had ambivalent feelings about the Lunch project when brian asked if I'd like to participate. I don't think I am a 'celebrity' though I certainly make a lot of noise so relatively many people heard my name. OTOH, I like to have lunch with and talk to new people. OT3H I am so bad at names and faces, I'd be embarrassed the next day when I don't recognize the same person. |

Kartik Thakore is planning to spend 3-4 hours a week to improve the Avenger game. |

by Ricardo Signes (RJBS) This is basically only interesting to people who attended YAPC::NA and how received the cards in the welcome bag. RJBS shows an improved set of rules for the game. |

Events
I usually list the next 3-4 events here. The list of all the events can be found on on the web site. If your Perl event is not in the list, let me know.
