The Perl and Raku Conference 2024 in Las Vegas

Your project's README stinks. Let's make it better, together!Your project's README on Github is your project's landing page, your one chance to land a solid first impression with a new user. So why are so many READMEs so boring? With minimal effort, you can make a lasting impression that win over users who might otherwise move on to another project instead.

Jason Crome will show you some techniques for making an eye-popping README for your project, using Request Tracker, Dancer, and other popular projects as models for what can be done. By the end of this short talk, you'll be able to take your project's README to the next level and set yourself apart from other open source projects.Audience: All["Perl", "Raku", "Open Source", "Community"]
