Wow... July is here now. A quick update on where things stand:
And here comes August. Still no update on CPAN, despite the "some days
off" label, but at least now there is real tangible progress ( see [x]
below ). As I mentioned several times earlier - a miraculous chain of
events keep me available to properly wrap up what I am doing, and the
timeframes got pushed several weeks ahead (yet again, but this time,
fingers-crossed, for the last time ).
This means everything is still on track, as unlikely as it seems!
I was hoping to start things rolling this weekend, but I had to stop all
work for the past ~4 days: too much brain-fry. In less than 24h I will
be embarking on a long trip to a modest private gathering [x], so there
will essentially be no updates during the coming week either.
Greetings, and welcome to the September issue of this thread.
Updates have been slow, as a number of external events conspired to keep
me away from OSS for a while. Nevertheless things are still on track and
what's more - there are new never-before-seen-developments.
First off - good (fsvo) things come to those who wait: I start in a new
role on Oct 3rd. For better or worse my day-to-day activities will still
revolve around Perl5 so I will have to stick around in some capacity,
the extents of which I myself do not yet know.
With that said at this time I have a hard date for ceasing my direct
involvement in any CPAN offering with more than a single maintainer: the
coveted releases of the "team" projects I single-handedly led for
several years will happen on or before Oct 1st - exactly a year after my
doomed attempt to provide a better user experience in a sustainable
fashion[1].
I have also firmly selected who will be getting the DBIx::Class
namespace first-come[2], the transfer of which will also happen
somewhere around the end of September. It was a hard choice, but I am
convinced that it is the best thing to do as far as end-users are
concerned, at least in the short term.
And lastly - I have essentially reached the end of my queue of "things
that nobody is willing/able to do". There are still a couple downstream
pieces that needs attention, but other than that things will finally
start visibly rolling around Sept 13th, once I get back home from yet
another trip.
Look forward to an update around that time.
Cheers
