whiteknight WHAT I DID: 18:31
* Went to PDS. Meeting was a great success. Thanks everybody!
* Been talking to cotto++ about roadmaps. We have a general sketchup of the process, will try to lay out a real roadmap for 4.0 sometime in January probably.
* Fixing and marketing the embed_api2 branch. General testing on all platforms would be appreciated now. Hoping to be mergable shortly after 2.11.
* Tried to update parrot_debugger to the new API, gave up. Still have to try to update pbc_merge, which may be difficult.
* Exploring architectural ideas for a new bootstrapped JavaScript compiler. Will blog about that soon.
WHAT I WILL DO:
* Continue working on embed_api2
* Directors have a phone meeting with SFLC, will likely have to leave the #ps meeting early.

whiteknight hello
cotto_work hi
kid51 Who is chairing?
whiteknight I'm leaving early, so not me 20:35
cotto_work I'll do it.
kid51 k
whiteknight it's your world, boss
cotto_work How did we do on the week's goals?
kid51 PDS: very good
cotto_work agreed
kid51 Google Code-In: Very impressed with student contributors.
Friday night: They were all hanging out here! 20:36
whiteknight yes, PDS went extremely well and GCI continues on like a freight train
Did MappedByteArray merge ok? I haven't seen anything about it
kid51 Neither have I. It's still in repo. 20:37
ISTR having problems building it on Linux.
Util arrives late
kid51 I don't recall seeing anything re: 'make cover' or GC algorithm review. 20:38
cotto_work We should make an effort to test that and get it into master this week if it's ready.
whiteknight I looked at the GC algorithm, but haven't posted any thoughts on it yet
probably needs a re-read
kid51 Who is leading mappedbytearray? Nick? Peter?
whiteknight NotFound I thought
cotto_work whiteknight: that was my impression 20:39
20:39 fbrito joined, NotFound joined
kid51 he's on his way over 20:39
NotFound Hola 20:40
kid51 NotFound: is mappedbytearry your bambino?
NotFound It is
cotto_work NotFound: what's the status of mappedbytearray?
20:40 dukeleto joined
NotFound cotto_work: working fine in my tests, no reports for other platforms 20:40
dukeleto almost forgot #ps 20:41
cotto_work NotFound: what's your platform?
kid51 NotFound: ISTR some problems building it, but I'll have to try it again.
cotto_work we need testing on platforms that aren't that one.
NotFound Linux x86/amd64 and XP/Strawberry
whiteknight I can do a Win64/MSVC tomorrow
kid51 I'll do darwin/ppc and linux/i386 20:42
cotto_work kid51, whiteknight: thanks
how good is its test coverage?
NotFound Low, I was expecting minimal support results before improving them. 20:43
cotto_work So it sounds like the PMC needs more work before we should merge and start telling people to use it. 20:44
but that we should encourage people to hack on it
does that sounds accurate?
NotFound cotto_work: is already merged, and declared experimental in DEPRECATED.pod 20:45
cotto_work so it is
NotFound TT #1599
Ups, no... 20:46
TT #1877
dukeleto What I did: * Worked on my TPF grant in the leto/embed-grant branch * Improved our git docs to be less confusing and work on older gits as well as address various concerns from Parrot devs * Improved our README after one of GCI students added git info * Did various GCI things
What I will do: * Hack on my TPF grant * Write a few parrot blog posts, especially on Parrot on Mobile devices and our new MOP
Blocking on: * Time
.EOR
dukeleto shakes fists at misplaced newlines
kid51 Hmm, I don't see mappedbytearray branch now: git branch -a | grep mapped
dukeleto kid51: it is merged
kid51 Well, then I guess I don't need to test it :-) 20:47
cotto_work NotFound: should people try to use it, expecting to find issues and extending it as the need arises?
NotFound cotto_work: I think so
dukeleto kid51: just look at github.com/parrot/parrot/branches to see if a branch exists 20:48
cotto_work What would be a good use for it?
NotFound kid51: The branch was deleted short after the merge
cotto_work: reading big files, mainly, and also as sort of shared memory while we don't have a more specific way for that. 20:50
dukeleto NotFound: PL/Parrot may have a good use for it 20:51
NotFound dukeleto: nice
cotto_work ok
If nothing else, we could implement a simple md5sum tool as a test case. That might even make a good gci task. 20:52
dukeleto will be calling the Parrot Foundation conf call in a few mins and will be pre-occupied
NotFound cotto_work: good idea
cotto_work any volunteers to write up the task and make sure it gets on the gci site? 20:53
whiteknight I can do that tonight
cotto_work great
Is there anything I'm missing before we move on to questions?
whiteknight no
cotto_work Alright. whiteknight, I imagine that you have a few questions. 20:54
whiteknight none today
cotto_work ok. Anyone else?
kid51 What is the remaining timespan for GCI?
whiteknight I think it runs till mid-january
I need to double-check the timeline
cotto_work I believe it ends on the 10th
whiteknight we have plenty of time though
kid51 q1q
cotto_work kid51: go ahead 20:55
q1q
kid51 Not a ? really, but post-PDS follow-up.
If you blog about Parrot, (a) get registered on planet.parrotcode.org, (b) post name of your blog on parrot-dev and appropriate location on wiki.
Beginning this weekend, I will check those blogs, particularly those of any people named in my post-PDS follow-up email.
Between Jan 2 and 15, expect to be nudged by me about converting your blogs into a succinct summary posted on parrot-dev in preparation for next PDS, to be held weekend of Jan 29-30 2011.
cotto_work what's the appropriate location on the wiki?
whiteknight From the GCI wiki: "January 10, 2011, 12:00 AM Pacific Time / 08:00 UTC: All work stops"
kid51 I haven't looked that up yet. 20:56
I will post later.
Your blog posts can be more personal; rants okay. But will hone it into a proper report prior to summit.
That's it for me. Have PaFo conference call. 20:59
whiteknight ditto. will be back later, if the meeting is still happening
cotto_work my question (or comment) I wrote up a blog post about how I'd like to run roadmaps in the future, based on a brief chat whiteknight and I had. I'd appreciate feedback. 21:00
now or later is fine
eoq from me 21:01
any other questions or comments?
Alright. Our goal for the week is to increase test coverage of mappedbytearray and hopefully to write a demo to use it. 21:04
Closing tickets is also a generally good idea.
