I'd like to thank the awesome Perl community for helping me keep the tradition going. There was a period several years into writing the advent calendar all by myself I totally burnt out, and the Perl community came to the rescue, taking it over for a few years and turning it into a group effort. I eventually ended up taking the project back over but I mostly kept the multiple authors format (though last year for kicks I did write the entire thing.)
Ironically, nineteen years ago it was Slashdot that was one of the first "big players" to link to the Perl Advent Calendar that made it popular and not just something my local Perl user group thought was a silly idea in the pub on Nov 30th...
