@joshbressers @ferki @relais we're all just #volunteers trying to make good things happen. (And yes, the spoon was the highlight of the discussion 😅)

Oh, and for an example of how horrible #Apple's automatic emoji thing is in this video, watch it from the 29m45s mark.

Sören> It's so simple, you wouldn't know – "Do you prefer water sparkling or not?" – You have given them a choice, and they will get out of their trauma response. It's really so simple, everybody should know that.

Classic case of #verschlimmbessern and #disimprovement.

At the German #Perl Workshop, I had the privilege to organize a panel about #OpenSource #Sustainability on #CPAN and it's related communities.

Together with Ferenc Erki (@ferki), Julien Fiegehenn (simbabque), and Sören M. Laird Sörries (@relais), we talked about meet-ups, volunteering, mental health, funding, and much more. It was great!

(Please ignore the annoying apple emojis that pop ut during the session!)

Nei, programvare blir ikke "ferdig"

Deler av programvare ("komponenter") kan bli "ferdig", men selv de enkleste algoritmene kan påvirkes av at omstendigheten endrer seg.

Jeg vil si programvare er "ferdig-ish" når den gjør det den må, ikke gjør noe som er uønsket, er lett å forstå, er lett å oppdatere når omstendighetene krever det, og at oppdateringer ikke medfører annen programvare må oppdateres.

Re: «deficiencies of "package URLs" (#purl) and how they still don't actually work to identify all and every project»

PackageURLs aren't really suitable for identifing _projects_ (a hard task when taking into account how names change depending on context, history and more).

They _are_ suitable for identifying _packages_ – and if you're not in the business of producing, distributing, curating, consuming, verifying or referring to packages, then yes, purls will be of limited use! 😃

@Piraya I'm looking at the number at the bottom of the page you linked to.

Interesting; The participants page show the numbers you mention.

@Piraya for me, it says almost 6000 registered! o_O

@ottobackwards @siracusa #toolblamer 😆

@bservies @siracusa #toolblamer! 😄

@not2b @siracusa "You must have more discipline than I did"

In the end, #Perl turned out to make it easier to identify developers that don't bother with good programming discipline!

#toolblamer 😆

That's a fine summary of substance dualism.

@Piraya This is today! 🤯

I found that #IGF2025 seems to also be using Sched for their schedule: https://igf2025.sched.com - if one would like to have a look at the schedule before deciding to register.

@ilumium It seems there's also https://igf2025.sched.com (noticed it just because I still had IGF2017's sched link in my bookmarks 😅)

@demiguise @bagder Slides have been published, fwiw 😅🦆

What thought-terminating clichés are used to prevent critiquing #AI and #LLM ?

I can think about one or two, but I'd love to hear if there are more in circulation...

For next 4 days #Leipzig in 🇩🇪Germany is the center of work on the #Perl programming language.

At the Perl Toolchain Summit over 30 experts and highly involved volunteers gather to keep the language and its ecosystem healthy and appealing 🔧⚒️🗜️

On my way to Leipzig for the #Perl toolchain summit!

Hoping to work on a #CRA Steward concept for #CPAN and have productive discussions around #security, #metadata, #sustainability and #compliance with the attendees.

Wish me luck, and👋if you care! 😊
