Perl is part of the technology stack running many of today’s businesses. Our donors and sponsors use Perl and Raku to power their businesses. That’s one reason they contribute back to our community. But there is so much more that sponsorship can bring to the community.
- TPF holds conferences that bring together the Perl and Raku community. Speakers give technical talks and the community gets together to discuss approaches to solving the latest technical problems.
- TPF provides grants directly in support of projects that benefit Perl and Raku users.
- TPF will take new steps to reach out to the community, training new programmers in Perl. It will create an online beginner video training course and provide beginner training scholarships.
- Outreachy: This internship program supports diversity in free and open source software. TPF sponsors this both financially and by providing the interns with a mentor.
- We provide a job posting website where employers can share information about their open positions.
- Support for CPAN and MetaCPAN.
- TPF hosts events across the world to encourage the formation of new local groups as well as re-invigorate existing groups.
- Through online efforts and open-source conferences, TPF will continue to advocate Perl and Raku to the world.
