[0]Peter Scott writes "As [1]brian noted, O'Reilly Media has announced
their Open Source Conference [2]Call for Participation. OSCON started as
The Perl Conference in 1997 and hosts the 12th annual Perl Conference
this year. As a member of the Perl track review committee, I invite you
to submit proposals for talks about the great things you've been doing
with Perl. Make our job hard!

This will be the breakout year for Perl 6 (maybe this is the
Christmas???), and we will feature it at OSCON. We don't assume that we
already know everyone who's got a Perl 6 talk for us; if you've got
something interesting to tell people about Perl 6, submit a proposal.

We are equally interested in Perl 5 presentations. This has been an
exciting year for Perl 5: the Perl 5 Porters [3]released Perl 5.10;
[4]Strawberry Perl installs Perl on Windows so you have everything you
need to install modules directly from CPAN; and [5]Moose, a new object
system for Perl 5, is gaining in popularity. We continue to hear stories
about how Perl has saved jobs and money, and made work fun. Let's see
your presentations on enterprise-scale Perl applications and
infrastructure, and the coolest modules, hacks, and techniques for using
Perl for Stuff That Matters.

There's something special about the Perl community, and you can see it at
OSCON thanks in no small part to the excellent presenters who turn out
for it each year... so join them in 2008! See
[2]http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2008/public/cfp/13 for essential advice on
submitting your proposal. The deadline is February 4, so start working on
those proposals now!"

| Parse::CPAN::Meta 0.02 - YAML support in the Perl core             |

In order to complete phase 1 of the CPAN toolchain auto-upgrade work
(which consists of changes to about 5-6 toolchain modules to support
configure_requires:) we need the ability to parse META.yml to be
available in the Perl core (so that we can guarantee auto-upgrade is
working on a default install).

YAML::Tiny is the obvious choice for this, since the other options are a)
Very large b) Require third-party C libraries.

But there's been a long-standing concern from the YAML faction (camp?
clique? posse?) about YAML::Tiny not being a "real" YAML parser, and
their concerns that if something is in the core with a "YAML" label on
it, people will preferentially use it instead of a real YAML parser.
