The links were given to Steven by Mark-Jason Dominus, who I'm not sure is even aware of the Monestary.

Bill and I headed to Borders yesterday to pick up "5 copies for my mother". We were flipping through the magazine at the store, and when Bill got to the picture they had of him (crawling fully clothed out of the hot tub), he freaked. {grin}

All-in-all, I'm very pleased with the article, fairly presenting the inner workings of the Perl community, or at least the portions that were on the boat, to a print audience of 450,000 and countless others on the web.

The big news for me personally is that this is the largest circulated publication to-date that has tackled a bit of a story about my ongoing legal case. Good news.
