Gentoo Perl Development Needs You!
As some people have already heard, the Gentoo Perl developer team is currently desperately in need of new members to help maintain existing and test new versions of Perl and its modules and libraries. If you’re an existing user, don’t worry – the current packages are still being maintained and security updates are being done.
If you’re interested in Perl and would like to help maintain and develop the Perl packages in Gentoo, please contact the Gentoo Perl mailing list or shout on #gentoo-perl on Freenode.
To get into development you don’t need any prior knowledge or epxerience, tho in this case obviously experience developing with Perl will help. There’s no lower limit to your commitment time-wise, so you can help even if you only have a few hours a month to spare.
Specific tasks currently being undertaken by the Perl team include testing of Perl 5.10 and developing packages for the Catalyst framework, as well as general package updates.
If you’re interested in other areas of Gentoo Development, try contacting the specific projects or just shout in #gentoo-bugs on Freenode.
