gcilou: <mayhem> we need a logo for the officebrainz project. :) <- i think that is what Freso was referring to with his "weird kissyface emoticon"
:D

a unicorn just walked in the door!
gcilou
Yeah I figured that one out :)

mayhem, bitmap: maybe put a disclaimer up with the quote by CallerNo6's friend
"This is the cleanest Perl code I've ever seen" or whatever :p
bitmap
?
heh
but the things that make it clean (catalyst, moose) have a learning curve too
gcilou
officebrainz project meaning the "metabrainz office to get people in the door" type project or is there something else
mayhem
gcilou: that one
reosarevok
I dunno. I managed
With a lot of help, sure
But still
gcilou
So like a MetaBrainz logo + "Office" mashup like community and tickets or like a wholly new logo?
reosarevok
Most of these people are actual programming majors, they should manage fine :p
iliekcomputers_ has quit
Freso
gcilou: Yes.
mayhem
I was thinking logo.
gcilou
oh fun. more brainzzz
Yellow.
mayhem
though we don't even display the full logo on the home page as we should. at least this gives us reason to put it up there.
bitmap
well, if MeB didn't have a bunch of python/javascript projects already, I imagine people would be open to the perl stuff
Freso
I'd say we should have at least one Perl based idea.
mayhem
maybe we need to have some sort of disclaimer on the ideas page: "Don't be afraid of perl, we can help you!"
Freso
There might be some weirdo outcast student out there who just can't get enough of Perl and is disappointed that no GSoC org.s will let them use that language.
reosarevok
Fly the Perl flag! Don't fear The Curse of the Black Perl!
Or something
mayhem
very much along the lines of what reosarevok just suggested
CallerNo6: maybe you could have a look at that? improve verbiage on the ideas page to make perl more appealing/less crazypants?
CallerNo6
I can try. Hopefully I won't convince myself.
mayhem
that is a danger. :)
