[PLUG-ANNOUNCE] September PLUG Meeting: Open Sourcing a Perl module

[Michael Dexter]

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement

Who: Andrew Hewus Fresh
What: Open Sourcing DBIx::Class::Events, a Perl module
Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)
When: Thursday, September 5th, 2019 at 7pm
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom

While I will explain about what DBIx::Class::Events does and how it
works as well as some of the underlying technologies it builds on, this
talk is primarily about open source contributions being driven by the
folks in a company who care about them and how it is up to those people
to provide the resources and knowledge to everyone else in order to
create an open source culture in the workplace. As far as I know, no
request to open source something has ever been denied by my employer,
and while the company has always had the same "go for it" attitude, the
folks writing code are only just starting to gain momentum releasing
things publicly. I'll talk about showing other folks in the company the
benefits of sharing code internally, how that exposed the benefits of
open-source in general, and how we as a company progressed to getting
DBIx::Class::Events onto the CPAN.
