[0]Best Practical is sponsoring a [1]Devel::Cover hackathon with Paul
Johnson next Tuesday in London.
We've already got a long list and lots to do, but would love to hear
about what you want from Devel::Cover.
If you are around London and would like to attend, please send mail to
clkao DooT bestpractical.com. Note that the hackathon is during work
hours, so you might need to make it a work-excuse to come!
In any case, we should be around #perl-qa during the hackathon, see you
there!

| 2006 White Camel Awards |

The white camel is a special sort of beast. You've seen pictures of
camels. and they were probably brown. Every so often, a white camel
appears, and camelherders consider them to be extra special and more
valuable. The Perl community has its own valuable members who go far
beyond their own personal interest to make the community a better place
for everyone.
The [0]White Camel Awards recognize non-technical contributions and
acheivements in the Perl community. Started in 1999 by Perl Mongers and
now awarded by The Perl Foundation, the triangular crystal with the Camel
etching has had many imitators, including the Google Open Source Awards
this year, whose award looked like a skewed White Camel.
At the [1]2006 O'Reilly Open Source Convention, also known as the Tenth
Perl Conference, Dave Adler (2001 White Camel recipient for his work with
the first ever Perl users group, the [2]New York Perl Mongers) and Sarah
Burcham (oranizer of the 2002 Yet Another Perl Conference in St. Louis)
presented three awards.
Josh McAdams, the host of [3]Perlcast and the organizer of the [4]2006
Yet Another Perl Conference in Chicago, has made quite the name for
himself since he exploded into Perl community about two years ago when he
was in Arkansas and started Perlcast, the first regular podcast about
Perl. Since then, he's interviewed Perl luminaries as well as people
connected to the Perl community, re-vitalized the [5]Chicago Perl Mongers,
and has been an all-around nice guy.
Jay Hannah, keeps [6]Perl Mongers user groups running. Perl Mongers
started by providing free web hosting, domain names, mailing lists, and
other central services to make it as easy as possible for new user groups
to start and to attract Perl hackers in their area. The maintenance of
these services has always been a thankless job, and the Perl community is
fortunate that Jay Hannah keeps it working.
Randal L. Schwartz has been involved with Perl since its early days, and
the perl5porters picture David Adler displayed on the large screen next
to the stage showed a much younger Randal alongside younger versions of
Jarkko Hietaniemi, Gurusamy Sarathy, and Larry Wall (although some did
not look much younger, prompting someone to loudly shout "Pudge looks the
same!"). Randal has been a tireless advocate of Perl and the community of
Perl, and his philosophy of giving back to the community is the epitome
of the White Camel.
