VM Brasseur <a href="http://anonymoushash.vmbrasseur.com/2014/07/15/san-francisco-perl-mongers-12-months-50-growth/">now runs the San Francisco Perl mongers</a> (now on <A href="http://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-Perl-Mongers/member/12262349/">Meetup</a>) and has been instrumental in keeping that group running smoothly and constantly growing. She also runs the <A href="https://github.com/vmbrasseur/Perl_Companies">Perl Companies</a> project to mine job adverts data to identify organizations using Perl. Coincidentally, Fred Moyer, the former organizer of the same group, received a White Camel Award last year.

<h4>
Perl Conferences: Neil Bowers
Perl Advocacy: Neil Bowers
</h4>
<p>
Neil Bowers went on a tear this year with CPAN advocacy and participation. He's highlighted areas that need attention, advocated for different and better ways to handle CPAN, and motivated the community to take up the good fight. his blog, <a href="http://neilb.org">The good, the bad, and the beautiful</a>, is a gold mine of CPAN advice. Curiously, it's only this year <a href="http://neilb.org/2014/09/25/my-first-monger-meeting.html">attended his first Perl mongers meeting</a>.</p>

2015 Recipients

<h4>Perl User Groups - Chris Prather</h4>

<p>
Chris Prather, also known as perigrin, has been a tireless community leader for the <A href="http://orlando.pm.org">Orlando Perl mongers</a> and a conference organizer for <a href="http://www.perloasis.info">Perl Oasis</a>, <A href="http://www.yapcna.org/yn2011/">YAPC::NA 2011</a> in Ashville, and <A href="http://www.yapcna.org/yn2015/">YAPC::NA 2014</a> in Orlando.
</p>

<h4>Perl Advocacy - Sawyer X</h4>

<p>
You can hardly go to a Perl conference (or <a href="http://amsterdamx.pm.org">Amsterdam X Perl mongers</a>) without hearing Sawyer X talk about the wonders of the Perl community (e.g. <A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjOQZf0Ad74">The Joy in What We Do</a>). He writes the <a href="http://blogs.perl.org/users/sawyer_x/p5p-summary/">Perl 5 Porters weekly summaries</a> and has been a driving force in the Dancer community. No matter where he shows up, in person or online, he's been the shining light of kindness and helpfulness that makes the Perl community a nice place to move bits around.
</p>

<h4>Perl Community - Steffen Müller</h4>

<p>
Steffen Müller, also known as tsee, has done quite a bit of technical work for the Perl community, but he's one of the people helping with the non-technical aspects in too many ways to mention. He's especially stood out in recent years with his work through Booking.com, writing for <a href="http://blog.booking.com/author/steffen-muller.html">their technical blog</a> and being a driving force behind <a href="http://news.perlfoundation.org/2015/08/bookingcom-donate-60000-to-per-1.html">Booking.com's generous donations</a> to The <a href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl_5_core_maintenance_fund">Core Maintenance Fund</a>.
