When I spoke at nylug a couple of months back, I mentioned that Perl
Seminar NY was developing a project in which we would train new
maintainers for Perl extensions found on the Comprehensive Perl
Archive Network (CPAN).

That project as come to fruition:  "Phalanx Phoenix:  Mentored
Maintenance of CPAN Modules."  You can read a full description of it
here:
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=586406.

We held our first meeting yesterday, and one of our new hoplites came
from nylug!  You can read about yesterday's meeting here:

If you're interested in becoming a maintainer of open source code, or
if you'd just like to follow our progress, sign up on this list:
