It's a priority of mine to give back. I spend about two hours a day answering email and hanging out on IRC, usenet, and of course, here at the Monestary.

It's also why I whipped my wallet out to fund the deployment of The Perl Institute, and gave a considerable chunk of change to sponsor Damian Conway's year of Perl, as well as a White Camel award or two, and of course those killer parties at the conferences.

Y'all are the reason I wake up in the morning. Without you, I'd just be an unknown hacker (well, maybe still a felon) pushing bits around.

Thank you!
