DAVEM TPF Grant January, February 2013 report

[Dave Mitchell]

(this report covers two months).

Got out of the habit of fixing bugs for the last couple of months. Spent
most of the time that I was able to devote to perl mainly doing other
stuff; in particular, pumpkining the 5.14.4 security release, and trying
to keep up-to-date with my p5p inbox, which seems to be a full-time job
these days.

Hopefully I'll be able to put lots of effort into working on 5.18 blocker
bugs for the rest of March.

Over the last 2 months I have averaged 0.5 hours per week

As of 2013/02/28: since the beginning of the grant:

155.6 weeks
1590.8 total hours
10.2 average hours per week

There are 109 hours left on the grant.
