I see that some entries have hyper link to company's site, some don't? This should be uniform, either provide link for all or none.

Yes, I realise access is broken for some unknown reason. If it's urgent, then Gabor can give you a log-in.
For your convenience, here's a copy of r160, 2013-01-15.
This is (not yet) a full list of companies that use Perl in any capacity. If you know of an organisation using Perl, please add it!
If an organisation has its own page on the wiki, you may wish to link to it, otherwise just link to the company website. Try to keep the list in alphabetical order by country. You're encouraged to add your own business.

This might be very controversial - but in the name of brainstorming. This is for people working for those companies - how about putting your name at the companies page - so that people could contact you and ask about the work there when they are considering a job at that company?

From Wendy via email:
I am at the Polish Perl Workshop now and I mentioned your name and the list of companies that use Perl, that you compiled. Everybody is a bit excited. I got four new names for the list.
I checked a bit on your Github pages for your project and you want some extra info. I gathered some.
(name) (website) (business) (HQ) (number of employees)(number of Perl-people)
Polent www.Poleng.pl (automatic translations)(Poznan, Poland)(10-20)(5)
Allegro group www.Allegrogroup.com (marketplace sales)(Poznan, Poland)(3000+)(5-10)
Implix www.Implix.com (email marketing)(Gdynia, Poland)(200+)(5-10)
telent www.telent.de (telecommunication services)(Backnang, Germany)(450)(5-10)
IMHO, the "Hiring Status" field is not that helpful. The "Most Recent Posting" is the important thing, and from that I can decide whether the company is "active" or "dormant" based on my own definition of those terms.
It it an idea to add sponsors to perl workshops ? eg.
http://www.perlworkshop.nl/nlpw2013/
Some of your source data is encoded in UTF-8, some in Latin-1 (most noticable with german umlauts), however those emails don't seem to have headers to indicate either type. This leads to the csv/md files being a mix of both encodings.
The generation script needs to analze the input data and do a best-effort guess at what encoding it is in.
Some of the entries have locations in the year column.
It would be crazy useful if the Perl_Companies files contained links to the websites of the companies in question.
For the .md file, the URL should be hyperlinked to the company name.
For the .csv file, the URL should be a separate 'Company URL' column.
The script creates the exceptions.txt file, containing a list of filenames in which it could not locate a company name.
So, now that the script has created the file something should probably be done with it.
What that "something" is has been left intentionally vague for the moment. That bridge can be crossed once we decide to look at this issue.
Luke Closs says that Recollect.net is a Perl startup. Make sure it gets onto the list (if it's not already there).
There's a German company called ePages GmbH http://www.epages.com/us/company/ with offices in these cities:
Hamburg, Germany
Jena, Germany
London, England
Barcelona, Spain
Boston, MA, USA
Ovid is doing a "Perl Startups" series on his blog:
http://blogs.perl.org/mt/mt-search.fcgi?blog_id=11&tag=startup&limit=20
Make sure that all companies who are interviewed are in the Perl_Companies list.
There really needs to be a Contributors file to help recognize everyone who's helped with the project.
So looking at briandfoy/jobs.perl.org-jobs-counter, it seems it's already:
This means rather than us duplicating everything (including our own cache of the job posts), we could just add it as a sub module and leverage the work that is already there.
iHance uses Perl for its mail-handling code. It's a constantly evolving codebase that's about 10 years old.
Just for the record, these are the things I would love to see here:
I doubt most of that can be gleaned from the job postings. But perhaps people will contribute it voluntarily. We could even create a form on pages.github.com that folks could fill in.
NewsNow Publishing Limited recently moved from South West London and is now based in central London NW1. Please would you update the database accordingly?
Perl_Companies.md currently has a case-sensitive sort on it. It'd be better if it were case-insensitive.
If there's a pipe in the source data (cf commits to correct #36), the formatting gets fubar for Perl_Companies.md as well as .csv.
A low priority, but the scripts should be modified to take this character into consideration.
Given the goal of the list is to allow it to be updated by means other than activity on jobs.perl.org it would appear that hiring_status is a proxy for perl_usage_status (or something) and most_recent_posting is a proxy for status_determined_year (or something).
It would be good to rename these fields to reflect their desired meaning as opposed to their proxy variables upon the list being seeded in order to encourage appropriate updates.
At the moment I am faced with telling white lies to update our status since we are an active Perl company but haven't hired recently via jobs.perl.org due to low staff turnover.
Markdown files are even worse databases. Two files that have to be separately maintained in parallel is a really, really, really bad database.
This data really needs to be fed into a relational database (maybe SQLite?), then the CSV and Markdown files thrown away. If/when you want one of them, you should generate it from the database using a utility script.
As I work my way through the pull requests, a LOT of them have large diffs for what should be small changes.
I don't know (yet) why it's happening, but it appears that each line which contains a diacritic is appearing as changed in these diffs. This is going to make merges a royal PITA.
After reading this post by Ovid I checked the list. It seems Nestoria isn't on there yet. Time to fix that.
There are a lot of dupes in these things. This needs to be cleaned up.
There's a problem with the current situation here.
Perl_Companies.* were created via scripts parsing job_postings.
If additions are inserted into these Perl_Companies.* files it screws any chances of re-parsing jobs_postings for better accuracy.
For now, to allow for manual additions to the list while avoiding the possibility of clobbering them, I'm going to have a separate file for those manual additions.
The yaml file (and the entire process related to it) has fallen into disarray.
Could you please update the list to reflect this. My attempt has been thwarted by the dreaded encoding issue.
Thanks!
Just dropping the data here as is until you've decided how you wish to merge things. :)
"Profihost AG", "Germany, Hannover", "2013", "Active"
I've been working in another direction on the same issue off and on, and here's a spreadsheet with a bunch of companies, as well as links to websites that list more companies:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoJOD6qxPwy6dHMwTVN6bkRQR1BjS3Y0TW1ITFZYaGc#gid=0
Additionally i made a small script that takes a file with one url per line and grabs the alexa rank of that url:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4JOD6qxPwy6aW5VOWdWdXNBTlE/edit?usp=sharing
I'm not sure how to integrate those into your data, so this is more of a discussion ticket.
A great idea from @thaljaf via email:
I just saw this:
https://github.com/blog/1528-there-s-a-map-for-that
That might be an easy way to incorporate some maps into the Perl Companies project.
Probably have to convert locations like "London" into lat/llong coordinates, but that's not too hard.
