$4500 Raised for Perl Foundation at OSCON Auction

Posted by michael on from the money-for-nothing-and-chicks-for-free dept.

Krellis writes "Over $4,500 was raised Thursday night at the DynDNS.org/OnyxNeon party here at O'Reilly's Open Source Convention 2003. A large part of this was $1025 in a heated contest about the primary color for search.cpan.org. London.pm fought hard to make the change to orange, but Graham Barr's group managed to win out, and the color will remain as "web-safe teal." Graham is no sore winner though, and London.pm will be given their color for one month. See the DynDNS Press Release for more information, and thanks to everyone who contributed!"
