Advent Calendars Need Your Input

The Perl community has a long tradition of packaging up tips and module reviews as the prizes in an Advent calendar that unfolds over the month of December. Each day you get to learn something new as a treat. Some embrace the Christmas theme and others don’t. But what they all have in common is that they need to come up with about 24 articles in a rather short period of time, so they generally welcome contributions from the community.

You may not feel up to writing a full article for perl.com or opensource.com, but an Advent article is an opportunity to contribute with something more manageable. A tip in a few paragraphs. A favorite way you use some module. Etc. The Advent calendar’s editor will give you topic suggestions, if you need them, and will guide you on the style preferred for their calendar.

Here are the Perl themed Advent calendars we’re aware of that are looking for user contributions:

• Perl Advent Calendar
• Dancer Advent Calendar
• Mojolicious Advent Calendar
• Perl 6 Advent Calendar
