The Social Structure of a Community with the Family Perl

From newborn to adulthood: how the maturation of self mirrors the evolution of community

In this talk I am going to be expressing some observations, matched to a few social theories, these observations are about the Perl community but also refer to other technical communities and the broader social fabric.

I will discuss how I see the evolution of the community as a mirror to the development stages of the individuals who are its members. To do this I have used simple analogies. Broadly this is an examination of community as a societal construct and a familial evolution, how much is contained within the confines of the other and how communities exist in these paradigms.

These are my own, initial, observations and thoughts and are part of an evaluation of the Perl community and my interaction in other technical communites and are generally useful to those of us who look sideways at the interactions of the technical worlds we exist within.

At the end of it I want to give you 5 things you should have learned.
