Doug, I can absolutely set up a meet-up time for us, and anyone else who wants to come by to help. Scott's in the Pacific TZ, and I'm in Eastern, so perhaps one afternoon? Other than a TPRF Board meeting Thursday morning, I'm free all week.
I'll propose Wednesday at 3 PM America/New_York (Noon on the Pacific coast, 1900 UTC) for a Zoom call. Does that work for y'all? I'll set up a link and post it here and on the IRC, if so; I've got a paid account. --Ruth On Wed, Apr 16, 2025, at 23:51, Doug Bell wrote: > I can get y'all set up in the CPAN Testers GitHub organization if you send > the GitHub ID I should use for that.
