Hi, Two weeks ago some people asked me not to include politics in the Perl weekly so I won't add my opinion on the murderous Russian dictator, but I would like to wish the best to all the people and their families I met while I was at the Perl conference in Kyiv, Ukraine 10 years ago. Since Dave Cross got fed up with our broken English and started to copy-edit the Perl Weekly we became a bit spoiled by having him. Unfortunately (to us) he got himself busy with some real work and won't be able to allocate the time for copy-editing the Perl Weekly. So now we are looking for a volunteer to do it. Basically every Monday, sometimes during the European morning hours (we don't have a fixed timing), we push out a version to our GitHub repo and to the web-site. Then I'd send an email to the copy-editor who checks the most recent version and sends a Pull-Request on GitHub with the fixes. Once I get the PR, I merge it, regenerate the HTML and send out the newsletter. If you would be interested to volunteer, please get in touch with me so I know whom to notify. Enjoy your week!

by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) Once in a while someone sends me an email asking for help with some Perl or Perl/CGI project. I don't have time for such work, even if it is paid, so I usually direct them to Stack Overflow for technical help and jobs.perl.org to find someone to the work for them. Sometimes however I am inspired to write up a technical post that can address their problem in a generic way. This is such a post. |
