The CPAN PR challenge is gathering heat as patches begin to appear and blog
entries to surface. Catalyst sees another release, the plans for the new
Test-Simple are going forward, and there is even some hopeful movements on
the Perl 6 front. There is no way to know if it's going to be indicative of
the full year, but January sure is busy. Enjoy! ~ `/anick

MetaCPAN Welcomes Panopta as a Sponsor
http://blogs.perl.org/users/olaf_alders/2015/01/metacpan-welcomes-panopta-as-a-sponsor.html
The CPAN web portals, search.cpan.org and metacpan, are incredibly
important for our day-to-day work, and it's easy to forget that their
continued existence is usually fueled by the unrelentless dedication of a
few volunteers and a budget that would make shoe strings seem opulent.
In that optic, a new sponsor is always reason to celebrate. Huzzah for
Panopta!
