In our WhatsApp group one of the members asked for more detailed instructions on how to contribute to a Perl project. So I started to update my OSDC book to include more details for Perl-related projects. I'd be really happy if some of you could help me reviewing what I wrote. I'd be glad to get some review from seasoned contributors and also from people who are new to this. Try to follow the instructions provided in the book and let me know if something is unclear. I'll update the text clarifying things. WhatsApp group: https://lnkd.in/dd35iZiy OSDC Book: https://lnkd.in/dEE_-pvx

The video recordings from the meeting yesterday in which we discussed what can one do if PRs are not merged and we also sent a PR to add GitHub Action to a Dist::Zilla-based project. https://lnkd.in/dx8Rb3NE

This is the first video recording from our session December. It contains some explanation on how to find a #Perl module with low-hanging fruits to contribute. https://lnkd.in/dRbtYDgs

Hello, do you like coding in Perl? Would you have 15-20 minutes a day to make some small improvement to a Perl-based project? I am trying to build a little team of a people who will work on the improvement of CPAN modules. I started the online events where we do it together so in case you have not contributed yet you can get started there. I also keep a log of what we have been doing: https://lnkd.in/drttpKX5 I am now trying to figure out how to keep a shared log so we can make our work more visible to the rest of the world, or at least to the other people who use Perl. Any suggestion?

Which Perl module do you think we should work on at the next online session? I am looking for suggestions.
