This "who is doing what" and "who is interested in what" social-networking page is for anyone (including newbies and organizations) doing anything significant (including commercial) regarding Perl 6.

• Add your (or their) name below, in alphabetical order (by last name), in the most relevant section (or sections). Create a new section if a suitable section doesn't exist.
• Link the name to a suitable home page, blog, or whatever, or you can create a new personal page on this wiki to link to (use the same name for the page name).
• Add a few sentences relevant activities, interests, and so on.

Perl 6 Sponsors and Supporters (Thanks!!)

Please do whatever you can to help The Perl Foundation find more sponsors and supporters for Perl 6 and Parrot development.

• The Mozilla Foundation: The Mozilla Foundation and the Perl 6 on Parrot Grant
• NLNet: Parrot Grant from NLNet
• O'Reilly Media (the people behind Perl.com): They support the weekly Perl 6 design meeting conference calls (and previously supported Larry Wall).

The Perl 6 Design Team

Also known as "@Larry", and led by Larry Wall, our hero and leader, the inventor of Perl. AKA "TimToady" on IRC #perl6 (derives from "TIMTOWTDI"). He has staked out the perl5-to-perl6 translator as his own project. Also overdue for a MacArthur prize.

• Nicholas Clark: Perl 5 Pumking. Also see "People of Perl: Nicholas Clark".
• Will Coleda: The parrot project manager. Has worked on a variety of languages targeting parrot.
• Damian Conway: He writes the Exegeses, which explain by example Larry's design documents (the Apocalypses).
• chromatic: The project secretary. He is at least partially responsible for delaying Apocalypse 12 with that Roles idea. Also writes code. Also editor at Perl.com. Read cromatic's journal.
• Jerry Gay: Hacks on Parrot, Rakudo Perl 6 and the Parrot Compiler Toolkit (PCT). Read Jerry's journal.
• Patrick Michaud: The author of PGE, the Parrot/Perl6 Grammar engine. He's also the Perl 6 compiler and Parrot pumpking. Read Patrick's journal. Also see "People of Perl: Patrick Michaud".
• Allison Randal: The Parrot architect. Also hacks on the Perl 6 compiler tools. She started the Synopses with Damian.
• Hugo van der Sanden: Knows more about Perl 5 internals than any one person should, which helps to make better decisions for Perl 6.
• Audrey Tang: The primary force behind Pugs, the original Perl 6 compiler implementation in Haskell that targets at least four different backends, including JavaScript. Ended the long "Dark Ages" of compiler-side Perl 6 development. Spread "-Ofun" and commit bits to the masses. Also overdue for a MacArthur prize.
• Jesse Vincent: The Perl 6 project manager. An expert at the "stick and carrot" approach to open source development.
• Richard Dice: The president of The Perl Foundation.
