WhiteCamel.org

Introduction

This repository contains the source code of, and tools for whitecamel.org website. The site is served using GitHub pages.

The docs/ folder contains static files that are copied by the GitHub action, and then the script/static.pl generates the html pages.

docs/CNAME contains the domain name.

t/ has a test script with some minimalistic test cases to see if the static site generator works.

Local Demo and Development

1. Run script/static.pl to generate the html files in the docs/ folder.
2. Serve them on localhost using included Plack app:

plackup app.psgi

3. In your browser access http://localhost:5000/

TODO

• Write down the history of the award and what the process is deciding who gets it. The awards were originally given out by Perl Mongers, Inc but passed on to TPF around 2002 when PM merged with them.

• Collect URLs, rss feeds from the winners

• Collect countries of residence (when the award was received) ?

• Update the text on the individual pages (they should somehow include information that shows what did the person do before receiving the award and what are newer things). That might preserv the historical information. Also some of the texts might need to be changed to past tense as people have moved on from various positions or activities.

• Links to the Perl Mongers, YAPCs ?

• A photo of the person (make it easier to recognise them at events, make the profile more personal) use Gravatar.

• A bio/profile of the person, what they do. Not all the white camel nominations/award texts tell the whole story, so it could be cool to have 4 - 6 paragraphs from the person about what they do in/for the Perl community

• A story of how that person got into Perl in the first place, and perhaps links to conferences they attend or their local Perl Mongers group.

• A calendar of forthcoming speaking engagements.

• Interview with the award winner.
