I'm creating "Found Perl"[0], a little, virtual Perl memorabilia museum.
I've got a lot of stuff to include, and I bet the community has orders
of magnitude more.
I've been looking at Found Magazine[1] since I heard about it on
This American Life[2]. They publish pictures things that people find
lying about: mostly flat things like scraps of paper. I'd like to do
that for Perl.
For instance, I have on display:
* Pictures of a couple of versions of the Perl Monger t-shirt
* The temporary camel tattoo I was giving out at one of the Perl
conferences
* My original receipt for my first copy of Programming perl
* Mark Jason's card announcing "Perl Advanced Techniques Handbook"
(now "Higher Order Perl")
* and some other things
There is a lot of stuff I'd like to find, and even more stuff I probably
don't know about. If you have something, please send me an image or scan
at (e-mail address removed)[3].
* a picture of Amelia, the camel mascot of London.pm
* Nat's "Perl is my bitch" sticker set (What were the other slogans?
* An original blow-in card for The Perl Journal
* Pictures of other Perl t-shirts, especially the one given out at
the first couple of Perl conferences
* The O'Reilly beret given out at one of the Perl conferences
* Scans of signatures from various Perl people (I don't have
any myself)
* Tim Bunce's handwriting on a bar napkin saying "Generic database
interface: use GDI or something"
* Images of swag (keychains, water bottles, pens) that Perl
vendors gave out.
* Instances of the string "Perl" in everyday life. I remember seeing
an image of a European road sign pointing to "Perl". I think it
was German, but I can't find it.
* and lots of other stuff that might be out there.
Thanks, and enjoy (and contribute!)
