José Castro tells me there's another Perl-related LinkedIn group. Besides
the [0]Perl Mongers group he created last w , there's now one for
[1]CPAN authors.
Maybe someday LinkedIn will decide to let the users search for groups, or
let group managers categorize them, so people can find all of the Perl
groups easily. LinkedIn is a bit wary of people collecting groups like
merit badges though, so I think this is a social control. You actually
have to know the group people to into the group.
What's the next step? Maybe someone will hook up CPAN Ratings (or Testers
or Testing Service) to LinkedIn so Perl hackers can have recommendations.
Being an open source programmer tends to suck in the corporate resume
world since recommendations don't come from bosses and such. :(

While trying to scratch a recent itch I have setup the [0]Perl Community
AdServer. It allows any web site owner to easily add a few advertisements
to his site to promote the Perl related events, the Perl Mongers and
various Perl sites.
The server provides the ads based on the country of the visitor. So we
can easily advertise the [1] French Perl workshop to visitors from
France, the [2] London Perl Workshop to visitors from Great Britain and
the [3]Israeli Perl Workshop to visitors from Israel.
I think it would be great if many people would add these ads to their
respective web sites. See the [0]AdServer for instructions on how to add
it to your site.

| Frozen Perl Preliminary Schedule and Registration |

We've published a [0]preliminary schedule for the Frozen Perl workshop. I
think the schedule looks great, and I'm quite excited about it.
A few days before our call for speakers ended, I was feeling a bit
panicked that we wouldn't have enough talks, so I harassed everyone I
could to submit talks. We ended up with way more submissions than we
could schedule, which is great for us, but I feel a bit guilty now.
I've also opened up registration for the workshop. The early-bird rate is
$10 for students and $20 for everyone else. That rate will double on
January 12. To register for the conference, you must first [1]log in to
an existing conference account (from YAPC 2007, for example), or
[2]create a new account. Once you are logged in you can pay for the
conference online.

Recent [0]changes to [1]CPANPLUS and the dependencies that it now has for
test reporting mean that I thought it was a good time to revisit my
previous [2]journal regarding smoke testing with blead.
