Peer to peer issue tracking with SD and Prophet

Jesse presents SD and Prophet at the Libre Software Meeting (Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre) in Bordeaux. He walks the development track audience through the case for a peer-to-peer, disconnected, versioned issue tracker, and demos how SD lets developers sync bugs across devices and peers without a central server. Same family of talks as the OSCON 2009 SD talk and the 2008 Beijing Perl Workshop Prophet talk, but a fresh delivery to a European libre-software crowd.

Perl 5.12

Jesse, fresh off shipping Perl 5.12 as pumpking, presents the release to the Development track at RMLL 2010 in Bordeaux. Covers Perl language history, what's new in 5.12, and the new timeboxed release cadence he put in place — moving Perl 5 from "ships when it ships" to monthly dev releases and annual stable releases.

K-9 Mail for Android

“Eight lines of code to enable IMAP deletion. Ten hours to compile Android the first time. Then suddenly 150,000 downloads, a developer community, and an ecosystem of compatible apps. ”

Perl 5.12.0

“Perl 5.12.0 shipped with no critical regressions reported so far. The new monthly release process, run by multiple release managers, takes the workload off the Pumpking — a whimsical title that traces back to the pre-version-control era of Perl development. ”
