Bringing Democracy To Perl

• While there are a number of Perl organizations, they are all either limited to specific locales such as Perl Mongers, or self-appointed top-down hierarchies with no community voting involvement.
• Our solution is to empower the Perl community by creating multiple new project-oriented industry workgroups.
• Each of our Perl committees is governed by democratically-elected leadership, and all major decisions are decided by the vote of committee members.
• Committee meetings have openly-available agendas and minutes for the public record.
• Perl community members are invited to apply for membership in any or all committees.
• Meetings are held every other Thursday from 1:00pm to 3:00pm central time zone.
• Hackathons are held the Wednesday night before each meeting from 7:00pm to 9:00pm central time zone (unless otherwise stated).
• The goal is to have major ongoing Perl accomplishments by our committees.
