Ok, so I never look at F*ckedcompany & maybe that's a good thing, but I'm looking right now and they're running two rumors of interest:
* O'Reilly are laying off 16 people Are they in trouble? In danger? What would the repurcussions of this be? They seem to be pretty big advocates (biggest?) of a lot of the open source stuff, particularly Perl. These projects may not end if O'Reilly suffers or disappears, but they might be impeded badly, no? * NorthernLight may be shutting down Doesn't Dan Sugalski work there? Will this impact Parrot/Perl6? Or will the sponsorship thing help out here (in a recession, when not as many people are going to be able to donate, and there will be two sponsored developers this time around)? -- Chris Devers, worried that I might have to give VB another look... :( "People with machines that think, will in times of crisis, make up stuff and attribute it to me" - "Nikla-nostra-debo"
