sawyer x Announced About leaving the PERL management board and from Core Team. He also left the post responsible for the formation of the releases of Perl, stopped participating in the Committee allocating grants, refused to perform a speech at the Perl conference and deleted its in Twitter. At the same time, Sawyer X expressed his readiness to bring to the end of the release of Perl 5.34.0, scheduled for May, then delete its access to Github, CPAN and mailing lists.
Care is explained by the reluctance more to endure the mocking, offensive and unfriendly behavior of some community participants. The last drop was Discussion About the feasibility of preserving some obsolete PERL language capabilities (Sawyer X is one of the initiators of creating a PERL 7 branch designed to replace Perl 5 with a violation of backward compatibility, with which some other developers disagree).
After restructuring the project management process, Sawyer X, along with Ricardo Signes and Neil Bowers, was elected in Guiding Advice Decisions related to the development of Perl. Until that, since April 2016, Sawyer X held the post of leader of the PERL project (“Pumpking”) responsible for coordinating the work of the developers.
