<pmichaud> hello.
<DietCoke> I'll get my report out the way first: I have just been treading water parrot wise, keeping one eye on the queue, but not doing much with it.
<DietCoke> I see from commits that others have been more productive. =-) 
% Andy has joined #parrotsketch
<DietCoke> Why don't we start with Andy!
<Andy> Hi, I ain't done squat.
<Andy> Next?
<Andy> All my time has been funneled on new blog and getting book done before OSCON.
<Andy> That would be http://theworkinggeek.com/ for those clicking along at home.
<DietCoke> I hope you brought enough squat for the whole class. Good luck with the book. ambs?
<DietCoke> ok, how about allison. I bet she's got a report. =-)
<allison> - I spent the week on the exceptions migration for the concurrency branch. Finished the last task on the list aside from one language task.
<allison> - Closed a handful of tickets related to exceptions.
<allison> - Still have a few failing tests to resolve.
<allison> - The pdd25cx branch is ready for language testing, then I'll merge it back into trunk as soon as I get an okay from the active languages. (After the release.)
<allison> - I'm planning to take a day this week to launch the PIR PDD out of draft. Let me know of any major outstanding issues there.
<allison> EOR
<DietCoke> barney ?
<barney> Let Plumhead generate PAST with NQP, not with PIR.
<barney> Trying to arrange for some Parrot-time in July and August.
<barney> .eor
<DietCoke> ok.
<DietCoke> jonathan ?
<jonathan> * Did various bits of Rakudo hacking on my Rakudo day; mostly OO things, plus a bit on captures and ranges
<jonathan> * One or two tiny core Parrot things too
<jonathan> * Happy to see that we seem to be gaining more and more Rakudo contributors; trying to hang out more on IRC and be helpful and useful
<jonathan> * Much brain cycles currently taken up working out what I'm going to say in various talks; been invited to give a guest lecture to undergrads who've just done a Dynamic Languages course at a Stockholm uni, plus speaking at the Nordic Perl Workshop and the French Perl Workshop. And that's all in the next 2 weeks!
<jonathan> * Having another Rakudo day tomorrow.
<jonathan> * Got lots of Parrot and Perl 6 todos running around in my head awaiting cycles to do them... :-)
<jonathan> .end
<DietCoke> excellent. to continue with the rakudo theme, particle and then pmichaud?
<particle> only had time to read #parrot scrollback, answer a few questions, and fix/add a few spectests for rakudo
<particle> hope to be more active tomorrow when jonathan and pmichaud will be hacking
<particle> .end
<pmichaud> (long report.)
<pmichaud> == Closed or sent updates to many older RT tickets
<pmichaud> == PCT improvements
<pmichaud> : register coercions -- PCT now understands various register types
<pmichaud>   and instruction signatures and can optimally convert between them
<pmichaud> : avoids creating lots of unneeded PMCs
<pmichaud> : added 'arity' option to 'for' nodes
<pmichaud> : decided on adding :scope('register'), :scope('context'), and :scope('root')
<pmichaud>   to PAST::Var nodes
<pmichaud> : adding new :pasttype('list') PAST::Op node type
<pmichaud> == NQP improvements
<pmichaud> : much better code generation due to PCT register coercions
<pmichaud> : eliminated a lot of "inline PIR" from NQP implementation
<pmichaud> : applied patch for infix:<and>, infix:<or> (cognominal++)
<pmichaud> == OO improvements
<pmichaud> : created a new 'P6object' library that endows Parrot objects
<pmichaud>   and classes with Perl6-like OO features
<pmichaud> : replaces 'Protoobject.pbc' (which will be deprecated soon)
<pmichaud> : includes things like .HOW, .WHAT, .isa, protoobjects, etc.
<pmichaud> : even works with PMCProxy classes
<pmichaud> : will be migrating Rakudo, PCT, and PGE to the new object system this week
<pmichaud> == Rakudo improvements
<pmichaud> : helped Tene++ with placeholder variables
<pmichaud> : held forth on #parrot about various Perl 6 related features and
<pmichaud>   how they will be implemented in Rakudo
<pmichaud> : have a plan for fixing list context and assignment in Rakudo, as
<pmichaud>   well as infix:<,> handling
<pmichaud> : figured out how to handle mutables (i.e., Scalar) in Rakudo,
<pmichaud>   will be implementing those soon
<pmichaud> : will try converting Rakudo to new p6object features over the next
<pmichaud>   couple of days
<pmichaud> == PGE improvements
<pmichaud> : most work here has been design related, but is also substantial
<pmichaud> : figured out a mechanism to implement protoregexes(!)
<pmichaud> : figured out how to clean up the Match, Regex, and Grammar class
<pmichaud>   relationships in PGE
<pmichaud> : will be converting to new P6object model and refactoring
<pmichaud>   operator precedence parsing to support list assignment in Rakudo
<pmichaud>   (and other languages)
<pmichaud> == other items
<pmichaud> : applied a variety of dead code removals from NotFound++
<pmichaud> : will be removing a bunch of deprecated items and closing
<pmichaud>   five RT tickets as soon as the release is cut
<pmichaud> == Finally finished my $otherjob tasks, so I can devote focus almost
<pmichaud>    entirely to Parrot and Rakudo for next several weeks
<pmichaud> .end
<DietCoke> jinkies, you've been busy.
<DietCoke> That's everyone that said boo earlier. If anyone else (besides chromatic) has a report, ping me privately...
<DietCoke> chromatic?
<chromatic> Working on the release now.
<chromatic> If anyone wants anything in it, let me know SOONISH.
<chromatic> All tests pass on Linux/PPC and Linux/x86.
<chromatic> Otherwise, fixed a few bugs.
<chromatic> Implemented a few concurrency things.
<chromatic> Made a few optimizations (how about doubling the speed of the slow part of Rakudo building?)
<chromatic> Ran out of time on the weekend.
<chromatic> That's it.
<DietCoke> excellent. I  look forward to having the release done by someone with web site privs. (we should really ponder moving to a less authoritarian website management system.)
<DietCoke> Any questions? If not, I'd be happy to discuss my new radical weight loss program. =-)
<chromatic> Who did the previous release?  Can he/she go into PAUSE and assign permissions for all of the modules?
<pmichaud> previous release was particle, I think?
<DietCoke>  - Apr 15th (0.6.1) Jerry Gay
<DietCoke> ISTR he had issues with the previous release, however, by barney.
<chromatic> barney and particle, can you go into PAUSE and assign permissions to PARROTRE?
<barney> I'll try
<pmichaud> I think barney's has already been done
<pmichaud> note that a maintainer can do it even if the previous release manager forgot
<pmichaud> That's what I did in April.
<chromatic> Thanks.
<DietCoke> Anything else? I expect a flurry of commits post-release, of course.
<chromatic> Give me an hour, and we're all set.
<barney> Yep. Everything in my dir has owner 'PARROTRE'
<DietCoke> ... what if I can only spare 57 minutes and a cookie?
<DietCoke> Oh, I have something: We're nearly out of scheduled releases.
<chromatic> Is it a diet cookie?  Because they suck.
<DietCoke> no, i'm saving all those for myself.
<DietCoke> Anyone here willing to take a release in the last six months of the year? Think about it, I'll send out an email in the next week.
<DietCoke> Thanks to everyone who's taken one on so far.
<pmichaud> looks like Parrot::Test::Util::Runloop needs to have ownership reassigned
<DietCoke> pmichaud: can you do that?
<DietCoke> (as long as you're in there?)
<pmichaud> sure.
<DietCoke> danke.
<DietCoke> annnnnnnnnnnnnnnything else?
<Tene> Tell us about your radical new weight loss program!
<DietCoke> heh.
<Tene> I've been having trouble with some Perl 6 semantics, but that's mainly because I'm too lazy to email the list.
<DietCoke> it's going well, read the blog, see for yourself at yapc.
<DietCoke> I can't help with the lazy.
<DietCoke> I could throw Andy at you, he's energetic.
<DietCoke> Guess that's it. See everyone next week, don't break anything before chromatic pulls the trigger on the release.
<pmichaud> (module ownership transferred to PARROTRE)
<allison> thanks all!
