Vincent Pit (‎vincent‎)

Still thinking about what to do and how to do it.

Xavier Caron (‎maspalio‎)

Wondering about what the heck I'm gonna do out there ;^)
Fallback to being a free-floating helper anyway

Pau Amma

All these little typos and pod errors that drive me nuts
Think of a way to submit bug reports and patches through CPAN so I don't have to spend 1 hour hunting for a repo or bugtracker just for a doubled or misspelled word
Fall back to wandering semi-aimlessly in search of something to do or someone who'll let me pester them with questions

H.Merijn Brand (‎Tux‎)

Working (with Abe Timmerman (‎abeltje‎)) on Test::Smoke and finally hope to nail it to the new environment
Help others with questions regarding perl5 configuration
Give, hopefully useful, feedback and remarks to all questions on the other QA projects. I might even prod them with new feature requests and end-user wishes (hello Paul Johnson (‎pjcj‎) :)

Philippe Bruhat (‎BooK‎)

Interested to work on:

Git::CPAN::Hook (started at the QA hackathon 2011)
Test::Database

I want to work with David and Ricardo on the PAUSE indexing stuff, and complete some of my work for a PAUSE web service.

David Golden (‎xdg‎) (dagolden)

I'm interested in working on any/all of the following things:

Patching CPAN clients to use new v2 CPAN Meta Spec categories like "test/requires", "runtime/recommended", etc.
Patching Module::Build to produce v2 CPAN Meta Spec compliant META.json files
Devising a standard way to split CPAN index data from distribution location data, allowing CPAN clients to use custom (e.g. frozen or hybrid) indices that might reference CPAN, BackPAN, or DarkPAN distribution locations for individual distributions
Discussing CPAN Testers evolution or mentoring anyone interested in improving CPAN Testers clients

Ricardo Signes (‎rjbs‎)

Adrian Howard (‎adrianh‎)

Finishing off the Test::Class -> subtests conversion
Helping Ricardo with a new Plack based PAUSE front end if he'll have me :-)
Like to pick brains and see if folk can come up with a decent framework for testing continuously deployed perl web apps... which may well play into Leon looking into test installation.

I'd like to work on Devel::Cover primarily
I may bug Ricardo Signes (‎rjbs‎) about completing the dzil support in Devel::Cover if it's not done by then
As usual I have lots of ideas, mostly detailed in the Devel::Cover TODO list, but I think I'd like to focus on continuing to make it easier for others to contribute to the project

People can hit me with whiffle bats about getting Test::Builder2 done.
Talk with people about what they want to do with TB2.
Help people rewrite modules to use TB2.
