I'm fine with the sponsorship, and to continue on Matt's point I think  
the best thing to say is, "Well volunteered".

There is still no "What is the EPO" article on perlbuzz.  We need to  
get more things out.  Talk about "what is EPO" and also, perhaps, how  
people can contribute without money.  Write guides for things  
(regardless how I feel about some of jrockway's other advice, his post http://blog.jrock.us/articles/Error%20checking.pod 
  is quite good -- these are the sorts of things I think the EPO  
should be sending out.

I'm thinking "Perls of Wisdom" that are actually wise :)
