use Perl

There is a running grant for learn.perl.org (see http://news.perlfoundation.org/mt/mt-search.cgi?blog_id=18&tag=learn.perl.org&li mit=20 ). So anybody who wants to help to improve learn.perl.org can talk to Eric...

The 10th issue of the German Perl magazine "$foo" (http://perl-magazin.de)is out. In this issue we cover these topics:

* Richard Dice - The state of The Perl Foundation

I've interview Richard two months ago about the Perl Foundation. You can get the original version (english) from the website.

* I18N and L10N

Thanks for this journal entry ;-)

But we do ship subscriptions internationally. So this shows that the website lacks of information about that. Thanks that you mentioned this... There is just one thing with international shipping: you have to pay the additional shipping costs (that differs from country to country).
We had some issues with international zip codes, but we have fixed this.

Regarding your visit in Germany: There is one Perlmonger group near Duisburg - Ruhr.pm. I'll drop them an email...

There was a long thread on p5p about regular releases for perl. I think this message is a good point to start reading (if I remember correctly): http://markmail.org/message/w4zbguq4cjitfvcb

It would be great if companies would give some money to TPF. If you look at the donations page of the perlfoundation site, you'll see that there are not that many big donations (I know that booking.com gave $50,000 to TPF last year - thanks! But such donations are rare).
Nevertheless TPF gave a grant to Dave Mitchell for releasing Perl 5.10.1.

You can find a list of blogs in the Perl 5 wiki: http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?blogs

I've just found a nice blog entry: http://blogs.zdnet.com/community/?p=147

I've updated my "project" PerlNews (german). The news are also published on Twitter now (see http://twitter.com/perlfeed).

The $10,000 USD limit was just for one quarter. Maybe you meant this post (http://news.perlfoundation.org/2008/06/help_tpf_fund_grants.html)

I'd like to help you with the fund raise. I can "promote" it on some websites and in the german perl magazine.
Something like this has to be prepared well. You need a press release in several languages. I can prepare one for german media.

@TPF: Do companies get a receipt when they sponsor TPF?

The eighth issue of $foo - Perl-Magazin (the german magazine devoted to Perl) is here.

• Logging with Log::Log4perl
