Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/532.html
Hi there
Have you joined the annual Hacktoberfest 2021 (
https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com ) run by Digital Ocean?
If not then please join without any further delay. Hacktoberfest encourages
participation in the open source community. You can earn a limited edition
T-shirt by completing the challenge.
Not sure if you noticed, but this time they have made an interesting change
by allowing open source maintainers to also take part in the contest. Ever
since I started The Weekly Challenge ( https://theweeklychallenge.org ), I
have hardly found time to dedicate to Hacktoberfest. Last year I could only
submit 6 PRs, enough to win the contest, since you only need to submit 4
PRs. This year, I am only taking part as the maintainer of an open source
project - "The Weekly Challenge". The best year for me as contributor was
2019 when I submitted 160 PRs.
If you are looking for an open source project to contribute to then you can
join "The Weekly Challenge" and win the competition by submitting 4 PRs in
just one week.
How?
Well, you could submit 2 Perl and 2 Raku solutions to the weekly task. Just
submit one solution per PR. I know it is cheating but a fair one in my
humble opinion. Again, please don't limit yourself to just Perl and Raku.
You are free to choose your favourite programming language. One more bit,
please don't tie yourself to the current weekly challenge. You are free
pick any past week challenges. Plenty of choices available. If you have any
questions with regard to submitting a PR then please follow the blog post (
https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/how-to-contribute ) that explains every
detail. If you still have any questions then please get in touch with me.
You can find my details on the page. I am also accepting PRs to another
open source project - The Weekly Challenge (
https://github.com/manwar/theweeklychallenge ) website which is also open
source code.
If you are a CPAN contributor then you could pick and choose your favourite
distribution and contribute. However there is a catch, the distribution may
or may not be part of the contest. Having said that, you can contribute to
my CPAN distributions ( https://metacpan.org/author/MANWAR ) if you fancy.
I promise, I will make the distribution to be part of the contest so that
your PR will count towards the target. Just yesterday, I received a Pull
Request ( https://github.com/manwar/BankAccount-Validator-UK/pull/2 ) on
one of my CPAN distributions, BankAccount::Validator::UK (
https://metacpan.org/dist/BankAccount-Validator-UK ).
Happy Hacking !!!
