<kj> * been away for a week
<kj> * started on a PCT tutorial (see parrotblog.org for first episode)
<kj> * created a simple case study language, called Squaak, which will be implemented in the tutorial.
<kj> * Squaak's implementation is complete; it lacks a 'return' statement (and the like) which are not supported yet by PAST.
<kj> * ported John Conway's Life of Game from Lua implementation to Squaak, which now runs very nicely.
<kj> * comments, suggestions and feedback are welcome (I might be wrong in some places)

<Tene> me
* barney is here
<chromatic> Shall we begin?
<rgrjr> me
<particle> kj pasted his report earlier today. you'll find it in the log
* allison here
<allison> - Added the GET_ATTR/SET_ATTR macro feature to PMC branch (a critical step in allowing high-level classes to inherit from low-level PMCs).
<allison> - Debugged a segfault on Windows in the PMC branch.
<allison> - Changed PCCRETURN to RETURN. (Still need to change PCCINVOKE.)
<allison> - Cleanups and fixups on the PMC branch preparing for launch.
<allison> - Launched the PMC implementation.
<allison> EOR
<chromatic> barney?
<barney> Made small doc fixes.
<barney> Pulled back PHPArrray.
<barney> Renewed my PAUSE password.
<barney> .eor
<chromatic> I made a lot of PMC updates for PDD 17.
<chromatic> I fixed a few bugs.
<chromatic> I made a few small optimizations to GC and the like; there are more to go.
<chromatic> cotto, are you here?
<particle> is cotto a committer yet?
<chromatic> Yes.
<particle> ok! that's news. congrats, cotto
<chromatic> ... but I don't see him.  jhorwitz?
<jhorwitz> here
<jhorwitz> sorry
<jhorwitz> not much progress on mod_parrot or mod_anything.
<jhorwitz> did verify all tests pass for pdd17pmc branch
<jhorwitz> hoping to free up some more time in the next week or two.
<jhorwitz> EOR
<chromatic> particle?
<particle> allison++ allison++ allison++ # fabulous work on pdd17pmc, you've earned your warm beverages this week
<particle> ~ very little time this past week
<particle> ~ things i'm trying to keep on top of: GSoc application, parsing a sm0p grammar (a layer of smop) in rakudo, yaml dumper for PAST
<particle> ~ i fear i'm failing to keep up with the last two
<particle> ~ pdd17pmc branch should be deleted
<particle> .end
<chromatic> pmichaud or proxy?
<particle> (10:26:47) pmichaud: my report is simply that I worked on closing out old tickets, especially RT#48028 (converting P6Regex to Perl6Regex)
<particle> <cut>
<chromatic> rgrjr?
<rgrjr> * pdd17pmc testing.  (minor test but with a big program.)
<rgrjr> * wrote a YAPC::NA proposal (but can't submit yet because yapc.org doesn't seem to be registered; wtf???)
<rgrjr> * looked at Coke's continuation barrier problem in Tcl.
<rgrjr> .eor
<chromatic> Coke?
<chromatic> Tene?
<particle> rgrjr: try yapcchicago.org
<Tene> Working on IO for rakudo.
<Tene> Working on presentation for Penguicon.
<Tene> I'm not teaching this week or next, so will have a lot more time than usual.
<Tene> .end
<chromatic> Anyone else?
<chromatic> Okay.  Does anyone have any questions?
<rgrjr> particle: thx.
<barney> In next weeks release 0.6.0 ?
<barney> s/In/Is/
<chromatic> yes
<particle> related q: anybody have tuits to review/modify http://www.perlfoundation.org/parrot/index.cgi?release_planning based on recent events?
<allison> I'll do it
<allison> looks like we just collapse 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8 into 0.6
<allison> then renumber
<particle> figured. great.
<barney> also related: Can somebody, allison or particle, add BSCHMAL to PARROTRE on PAUSE
<allison> ok
<chromatic> Anything else?  Questions, comments, concerns, blockers?
<barney> or set the permissions for the Parrot modules
<barney> on PAUSE
* Coke returns.
<barney> Can I close RT#42769 ?
<cotto_work> here
<cotto_work> catching up
<allison> barney: we have to get Andreas to make the PARROTRE change, we don't have a web interface
<allison> coke: is there anyone else we should be adding to PARROTRE, while we're putting in a request?
<Coke> anyone from docs/project/release*
<Coke> chromatic: I have a question from James.
<Coke> can we get some comment/feedback on http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.internals/2008/03/msg43704.html ? We have an opportunity to do some good PR for parrot at YAPC::NA this year. Depending on what day it is, I will volunteer some time myself.
<particle> ah, right. pmichaud and i have talked to jmcadams about doing a parrot workshop
<Tene> Is there going to be a decent parrot presence there?
<particle> we need to work out some details
<Coke> particle: ok. Please keep james and I in the loop.
<particle> so far, i know coke, pmichaud, james, and i are going
<particle> allison, chromatic?
<particle> anyone else? jhorwitz?
<rgrjr> me.
<allison> looks like james already submitted a workshop proposal
<particle> ah, nice! i finally get to meet rgrjr
<Coke> allison: yah, I think it was a placeholder based on an upcoming deadline.
<jhorwitz> yes, i submitted a talk
<allison> I will probably be there. I won't be speaking, just hacking
<chromatic> I can show up and beat my head against the wall when someone asks me a Windows or Mac OS X question.
<Tene> I'll try to be there.
<cotto_work> I'm going to try to make it, it's uncertain atm (no speaking though)
<particle> awesome, chromatic. they have hard walls at iit
<rgrjr> particle:  hope you still think so in june.  ;-}
<chromatic> There's a dent in the wall from last time, when Andy and Schwern and I talked about T::H 3.
<particle> ok, so, yes. there will be a decent parrot presence.
<Coke> Oh: Thanks to allison & chromatic for all the work on the PDD17 branch; the merge actually cleared up several issues in partcl.
<Tene> I'd be glad to volunteer whatever time is requested for parrot-related events.
<particle> tene: your skills could come in quite handy for organizing a workshop
<Tene> particle: I have organizational skills?
<particle> i didn't quite say that. believe what you wish.
<allison> we'll likely have a parrot-specific meeting in Sept/Oct to kick off the final steps to 1.0
<particle> good news, that.
<cotto_work> I suppose I should report.
<cotto_work> got Barney to take PHPArray out
<cotto_work> am trying to get legal issues settled so I can put it back in
<cotto_work> eor
<particle> allison++ for updating the release plan
<Coke> allison: speaking of the road to 1.0, the "continuation barrier" issue recently re-raised by Bob should go on the list.
<rgrjr> yes, please!
<particle> however, is AST implementation complete without 'return' and 'self' ?
<allison> it's partially solved, now that METHODs correctly generate continuations
<particle> perhaps we should push AST to a future release, so we can get 0.6 out
<allison> I thought AST was done?
<allison> if not, we'll just push it to 0.7
<allison> or 0.8
<particle> it's done as specced. but 'return' and other exceptions, and 'self' are not specced or implemented
<particle> let's push to 0.8
<allison> done. two significant features are plenty for any one release
<Coke> agreed.
<chromatic> Is there anything else?
<particle> who's release this month?
* particle checks
<Coke> barney.
<particle> nothing else
<particle> ah, ok. i'm april.
* Coke motions to adjourn the meeting. <robert's/>
<chromatic> 2d
<barney> How much time does a release usually take ?
<Coke> We can discuss that in #parrot.
* spinclad .oO( gavel? )
<allison> bang!
