I think the blog made a great contribution to bring more transparency of TPFs work. And they can't do everything... Some ideas about a fictive Perl-PR-platform: *) search for companies that use Perl a lot **) provide this list to workshop organisers (to ask for sponsoring) *) regular press releases on press portals (e.g. openpr.com) about Perl projects (e.g. milestones of Parrot, great developments of Catalyst,...) to keep these projects in the public's mind *) keep a knowledge base of Perl project up to date (at least some links) *) links to perl-related "media" (perlcast.com, radio-perl.de, theperlreview.com, foo-magazin.de,...) *) links to perl-related jobs **) I search the interenet for Perl-Jobs (in the germanspeaking area) regularly, but these jobs doesn't appear on jobs.perl.org *) up-to-date success stories *) a calendar (with "search by country" abilities) *) list of personalities who want to talk in other PM groups *) active fundraising (maybe like Wikimedia) I know that lots some of these things already exist, but they are widely spread. That means, that you have to know where you can find these information.
