While TPF is working through the various issues for how to expediently handle earmarked grants, it occurred to me that once that is in place, sponsoring (for example) an Indian CS grad student to revive the weekly "This Week in Perl 6" summaries would another one of the many small-scale things that individuals or small businesses could support.
In the mean time, to partly fill this weekly update gap, there are a couple of places that you can direct people to that together serve a very crudely analogous role. (1) Ive added the Rakudo.org RSS headline summaries to the bottom of the Perl 6 wiki, which typically show the most recent few postings of chromatics weekly "Perl 6 Design Minutes": http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi (2) I also try to keep the Perl 6 wiki's list of articles and presentations up to date: http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?perl_6_articles_and_presentati ons Please consider adding any good presentations that you see (or that you create) to that list (or send me a link and I'll do it for you). Also, please consider referring people to the Perl 6 wiki (and any relevant subsections thereof) for more information when writing things that may get wider attention beyond the immediate Perl 6 community. Thanks. Best regards, Conrad Schneiker www.AthenaLab.com Official Perl 6 Wiki http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6 Official Parrot Wiki http://www.perlfoundation.org/parrot
