Hi there! Throughout the years I had many brilliant ideas regarding Perl and the Perl community. I know they were brilliant because, as I found out later, they were already done by Dave Cross before me. This always gave me mixed feelings. On one hand it was always rather disappointing that my ideas weren't new or original. On the other hand it was of a great pride that my ideas aren't that dumb if Dave also had them. Today I think I can celebrate. I think this is the first time where I had the idea (and the implementation) first. In a recent article Dave writes about Advertising Perl. A very good idea to use the existing platforms to advertise Perl events. As I can see it is exactly 10 years after I announced shutting down the Perl Community Adserver. Wow, I am rather shocked that so many years have passed and unfortunately I can't find the posts in which I started to talk about it so I can't really verify the timeline. In any case, I hope his attempt will be more successful than mine was. Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |
