Hello list,
I'm considering on doing this years Google Summer of Code and would
prefer to do something with Perl.
A little about myself:
I'm a 24 years old first years Computer Science student. I've worked
full time for a little over 4 years for what was mainly a PHP shop, but
managed to get some Perl in there as well. The last 3 years I worked
there I was running the show alone. My colleague had left for a career
change and he never got replaced.
In my time there I've done a few things with Perl. Mainly some server
scripts but also a small Catalyst webservice and a small but useful Wx
Widgets project (it scans a PDF, strips invoices and mails them to the
belonging customer).
I also maintain a couple of CPAN modules (PAUSE handle is CKRAS). I've
done also done a mid-sized project in Catalyst called Maximus
(http://maximus.htbaa.com) which is a CPAN kind of toolkit for BlitzMax.
Going through the list of projects on
http://wiki.enlightenedperl.org/gsoc2012/ideas one thing that caught my
attention was this:
> Refactor how configuration loading is done. Currently it requires the
> full application to be loaded, which makes it impossible to use the
> normal configuration tools in, for example, scripts that are supposed
> to spin up an application.
It's actually something I've run in against with Maximus and other work
related Catalyst stuff. I'm aware that last years GSoC had a
Bread::Board integration project for Catalyst. How did this end up?
I might be interested in picking this one up for this years GSoC. But
would also like to know if there are other projects available.
