81 | About Enlightened Perl |
82 | </h1> |
83 | <p class="first"> |
84 | Enlightened Perl is an organization which is built around a movement within the Perl community. |
85 | Its goals are complementary to the Perl Foundation. Specifically, we support certain Perl development |
86 | efforts that ensure perl's future as an enterprise-grade development platform. Its aims are: |
87 | </p> |
88 | <ul> |
89 | <li> |
90 | Improvements to the public facing parts of existing Perl projects, including design and content |
91 | organisation and accessibility, by co-operation with the projects involved to see where their |
92 | volunteer capacity is lacking; |
93 | </li> |
94 | <li> |
95 | Eliciting the creation and/or improvement of tutorials, screencasts, books, reference |
96 | documentation, training courses and other accessible documentation to make it easier |
97 | for new users to get started with modern Perl; |
98 | </li> |
99 | <li> |
100 | Encouraging people to blog their experiences of Perl development, both as individuals |
101 | and as part of corporations, in order to raise the profile of Perl across the blogosphere |
102 | and social media aggregators; |
103 | </li> |
104 | <li> |
105 | Simplyfing and streamlining the installation of common "new wave of CPAN" libraries, |
106 | and applications developed using them, in order to simplify experimentation and deployment; |
107 | </li> |
108 | <li> |
109 | Grants for development of specific pieces of code that scratch no developer's itch, |
110 | but make corporate and/or hobbyist adoption of enlightened Perl easier; |
111 | </li> |
112 | <li> |
113 | Production of articles and white papers to provide a senior management level view |
114 | of the advantages of modern Perl as a platform for new development; |
115 | </li> |
116 | <li> |
117 | Getting organisations already using modern Perl to speak out about their success stories, |
118 | and helping them to get involved with the community. |
119 | </li> |
120 | </ul> |
121 | |
122 | <p class="first"> |
123 | Why you should join the Enlightened Perl Organisation: |
124 | </p> |
125 | <p> |
126 | <ul> |
127 | <li> |
128 | As a company in a competitive global market, it is imperative to find and secure |
129 | quality development staff. As a sponsoring organization, it is evident that |
130 | there is a clear understanding of modern Perl and a pledge to support further |
131 | development. This promotes the idea of an enjoyable working environment, as well |
132 | as higher success rates tapping into the community channels and the wealth of |
133 | knowledge present there. |
134 | </li> |
135 | <li> |
136 | As a company with a software development department, the ever growing challenge |
137 | of finding and securing quality development staff is made more difficult by a |
138 | competitive global market. Corporate and Organizational sponsorship of EPO is |
139 | an advertisement for highly talented developers to know they'll make a good decision |
140 | working for a company that understands and wants to use modern Perl. Furthermore, |
141 | showing the community that you support the future development of the language and |
142 | advocating enlightened development helps establish a foothold in a brilliant and |
143 | helpful social community, which is centered around knowledge sharing. |
144 | </li> |
145 | <li> |
146 | As an individual, organisation membership shows your commitment to having modern |
147 | Perl skills that are usable on large, modern projects, and an understanding that |
148 | maintainability and return on investment beat cool hacks for commercial work any time. |
149 | </li> |
150 | <li> |
151 | As either, membership will allow you to get easy access to the working groups/special |
152 | interest groups within the Enlightened Perl Organisation and to have a say in the |
153 | direction of both the organisation itself and of our strategies for putting the time |
154 | and funds available to us to best use. |
155 | </li> |
