The Perl community claims to be inclusive, at the same time we are rejecting a big part of the system.

The question is not if you want to make money or not, the question is how to create a good climate for fertile co-existence of all groups.

To give you an example of dogmatic thinking: In Granada I suggested in an open discussion that we need more elearning material.

This was immediately confused and rejected as a form of "certification" which is a taboo from the MS flame war area.

Anything remotely similar is haram, apostates must be stoned and beheaded.

The community seems as open minded as possible in a 90s mustached nerd hippie context!
