Bod, just remembered I contemplated the general problem of Organizational Culture Change a while back, even speculating on Perl culture changes over the years ... though not on Perl Monks culture changes.

If you choose not to attempt to explicitly change your organization's culture, it will change anyway. Culture is evolving all the time.

-- from Organizational Culture (Part II): Meta Process

Interested to hear thoughts on how Perl Monks culture has changed over the years ... and what sort of culture changes might be tried to increase PM activity.

Curiously, in the very early days, vroom tried to boost this site's popularity by encouraging Perl "celebrities", such as merlyn, to hang out here.

An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth.
