Leader of Birmingham.pm [pm.org], CPAN author and father of 2. Spare time involves lots of Perl (see links below) and arranging meetings for Birmingham.pm (if you would like to visit us and/or give a talk, please let us know). I co-organised YAPC::Europe in 2006 and now help to support organisers with documentation and templates, and I keep an eye on CPAN Testing helping to promote it as much as I can.
If you really want to find out more, buy me a Guinness. Just don't ask the obvious

CPAN Testers Stats update
A bit late this month as I've been trying to map lots of new addresses to real people. I'll be sending out an other survey type mail soon, so hopefully that'll help to reduce the unknown addresses in the coming months.
In the meantime, Chris has once again been an amazing contributor to CPAN testing and is further extending his lead on the top testers page. A worthy mention to Dave Cantrell, who after only 1 month as a CPAN Tester already finds himself in position 20. Dave has been a great help to many authors already, as it would seem he is the most significant tester of Perl 5.6.2, and has found a few problems that would otherwise have been missed by the looks of it.
Last month was also the highest recorded submissions of reports to CPAN Testers. While Chris and Dave have undoubtably made notable quantities of submissions, a big thank you to everyone else who has submitted a report. Even just submitting 1 or 2 reports helps, so please don't feel you have to compete with the dedicated testers. Keep up the good work folks.

Great to have some competition!
For those that want to watch perl.cpan.testers in virtual real-time I have set up #cpantesters channel on irc.perl.org network. GumbyNET2 bot is announcing uploads and test reports as and when they happen.

That shouldn't be too difficult to do. I'll have a look for next month, depending whether I can find the time! March has turned into a very busy month as I have several talks to prepare ... including how to be a CPAN Tester ;)
