This is a reminder that the YAPC::NA 2009 [0]Call for Venue will be
closing in less than a month. If you plan on trying to host YAPC::NA 2009
and you haven't started on your bid, you'd better get to it! The deadline
for submissions this year is June 1st (as we would like to announce the
2009 venue at this year's [1]YAPC::NA). You can get all of the details
and see the [0]Call for Venue posting on [2]The Perl Foundation's blog.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jeremy Fluhmann
(fluhmann at perlfoundation dot org).

| TPF receives large donation in support of Perl 6 development       |

On May 14, 2008, [0]The Perl Foundation received a philanthropic donation
of US$200,000 from Ian Hague. Mr. Hague is a co-founder of [1]Firebird
Management LLC, a financial fund management company based in New York
City. This donation was the result of extensive discussions between Mr.
Hague, The Perl Foundation and a Perl community member who wishes to
remain anonymous.

The purpose of the donation is to support the development of Perl 6, the
next generation of the Perl programming language. Roughly half of the
funds will be used to support Perl 6 developers through grants and other
means. The balance of the funds will be used by The Perl Foundation to
develop its own organizational capabilities. This will allow The Perl
Foundation to pursue additional funding opportunities to support Perl 6
development. Mr. Hague wants his contribution to be seed funding in that
effort.

The Perl Foundation thanks Mr. Hague in the deepest possible terms. This
donation is unprecedented in its generosity, scope and vision, and it is
precisely what was needed at this junction in the development of Perl 6.
We look forward to the greatest of successes with Perl 6, and this
contribution is a key part of making that happen. The Perl Foundation
will communicate further developments with the Perl community and Mr.
Hague as the pieces of this plan are executed.
