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.
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>
93 introduction to the reasons for starting such a project.
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:
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>
112 Currently we are working on the first two items in this list, but we expect to be ready for the third soon.
