  80               The Goal of the EPO-EC working group is to produce a list of modules that are considered "Best of Breed"
  81               modules for domains typically encountered by a large Perl enterprise or consulting business. This list
  82               will be package into a standard distribution and work will be made to integrate this distribution with
  83               the standard installation channels for popular operating system vendors.
  84             </p>
  85
  86             <p>
  87               The chairman of the working group Chris Prather gave an
  88               <a href="http://www.shadowcat.co.uk/archive/conference-video/yapc-na-2009/extended/"introduction</a>
  89               to the EPO Extended Core project
  90               at YAPC::NA 2009 in Pittsburgh. This talk followed Matt Trout's
  91               <a href="http://www.shadowcat.co.uk/archive/conference-video/yapc-na-2009/std">Catching an STD</a>
  92               which provided a good
  93               introduction to the reasons for starting such a project.
  94             </p>
  95
  96             <p>
  97               The structure of the project is defined in the
  98               <a href="http://github.com/perigrin/epo-ec/blob/master/documents/charter.txt">charter,</a>
  99               but the basic Gist is:
 100             </p>
 101
 102             <p>
 103             <ol>
 104               <li>Create a <a href="http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/epo-ec-advisors/">list of Advisers</a></li>
 105               <li>Identify a list of <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Task-Kensho">Domains and Modules</a>
 106               that the advisers agree are Best of Breed</li>
 107               <li>Package the Modules into a extended core version of Perl and work with vendors on getting it into distribution channels</li>
 108             </ol>
 109             </p>
 110
 111             <p>
 112               Currently we are working on the first two items in this list, but we expect to be ready for the third soon.
