Thanks for supporting the Perl QA Hackathon 2012

The Perl QA Hackathon 2012 is now over. The event took place 2 weeks ago, for three days, and was well received by the attendees both on the technical side (having all of them in the same location) and on the social and logistical side (thanks to your support).

In the end, 40 people from 11 countries attended the hackathon. These people are well-known in the Perl community for their interest in and their knowledge of Perl, Quality Assurance and the CPAN toolchain. They spent three days together in Paris, in the "Carrefour Numérique" of "La Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie-Universcience", debugging, improving, creating processes, tools, test environments for the good of the Perl community.

The results of the week-end are listed on the hackathon website: http://2012.qa-hackathon.org/qa2012/wiki?node=Results

Such results would never have been possible without the logistical support provided to our hackers. We would never have been able to provide it without you, our sponsors for the Perl QA Hackathon 2012.

On behalf of the Perl community, I would like to thank you for your support.

The money collected has been spent on travel (32%) and hotel (20%) refunds for some attendees, catering (34%) and bank fees. The surplus (10 %) will be donated to the organizers of the Perl QA Hackathon 2013, which will be held in London. The final budget will be available in a few days on the hackathon website.

Among the wiki pages added at the end of the week-end, a page collecting blog posts has been started: http://2012.qa-hackathon.org/qa2012/wiki?node=Blogs It collects links to blog posts that talk about the event.

Once again, the Perl QA Hackathon 2012 participants and organizers, as well as the Perl community as a whole, would like to thank for the support you have provided to this event.
