The Future of Perl (was Python)

I just watched the excellent keynote of Jessica McKellar at Kiwi PyCon 2013 titled The Future of Python - A Choose Your Own Adventure It is 35 min long.

The key points were:

she also mentions that the Python Foundation can help with money and people.

The budget of the Perl Foundation vs the Python foundation

So I checked a bit. According to Wikipedia the PSF had a budget of $750,000 in 2011. The Wikpedia does not know the budget of The Perl Foundation, but in the 2013 year end report we can see the following expenses:

Grants: 105,000 Conferences: 106,795 Community and Marketing: 8,805 Administration: 10,896 -------- TOTAL: USD 231,496

So why is this intersting? Because the some of the same opportunities exist for the Perl community as well.

You just have to choose your own adventure.
