Util Pre-report: 19:30
# Done:
* Wrote RC solution:
+ rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code/F...sks#Perl_6
* Submitted GSoC request for Slots (see below)
# Doing:
* Massaging a year of code slush into commits to Parrot, Rakudo, RC,
* Writing YAPC::NA talk.
* Planning(-ish) YAPC::NA hackathon.
# Happenings:
* GSoC:
+ We had 8 proposals at the close of the submission period.
+ 3 are incomplete or unspecific, and cannot be considered (IMHO)
+ The remaining 5 look good, with detailed proposals and likely mentors.
= LAPACK's only proposed mentor is Whiteknight. 19:31
= I emailed Whiteknight: "mentoring this year?"; awaiting reply
+ Requested 5 Slots from GSoC, with 3 marked high priority.
+ All mentors: please log on to Melange, vote, and request to be mentor for your projects.

Hello! Who all is here? 19:33
sa1 Util: I just saw the pre-report. I'm guessing I should leave while you can discuss proposals? 19:35
Util This just became official: GSoC has given Parrot Foundation 3 Slots! 19:36
sa1: Stay and fight!
sa1 Nice!
sa1 didn't work on anything this week, apart from a half-hearted attempt at a winxed mode for emacs. 19:38
Util FYI, I am new to acting as more of a (cheer?)leader in the Parrot community, and have done a poor job letting people know about meetings, etc with sufficient lead time, esp by email.
sa1: As a GSoC student, can you see the details of the other proposals?
sa1 Util: No, unless its publicly available and the student posts the url. 19:39
So I read one other proposal that was posted on #parrot last week. 19:40
Util (Possible)Mentor, Candidate, Title: 19:41
dukeleto Saurabh Kumar(sa1) Parrot VM bindings to the libgit2 0.18 API
benabik Paweł Murias JavaScript backend for NQP (and Rakudo Perl 6).
whiteknight Zachary Seymour LAPACK bindings for Parrot-Linear-Algebra
white/ben Rok Sokol New Assembly Language
Util?/leto? Denis Boyun Improve Web UI of app-parrot-create
Original task list for detail: github.com/parrot/parrot/wiki/Summ...Task-Ideas 19:42
Thu, May 9 - Thu, May 23 is the discussion period, where we will hammer out who gets our slots, and firm up any vagueness in their project milestones. 19:44
This will happen here, in #parrot, and (hopefully mainly) on email. 19:45
dukeleto is scheduled to be back May 9th or 10th. 19:46
I am mostly AFK from now+2h until Monday morning, May 13th. 19:47
I will start an email thread before I leave today, for GSoC proposal "horse trading". 19:48
sa1++ for IRC participation; I will mention that in the email. 19:49
sa1 Thank you :)
Util sa1: IMHO, all the candidate students should have a voice in this discussion, to be able to answer questions, and fight for their proposed work. 19:50
sa1 Right. 19:51
moritz speaking of IRC, I've pretty-upped the logs a bit: irclog.perlgeek.de/
Util moritz: *and* revived/replaced your ailing box. Congrats! 19:52
Oooh! Shiny! 19:53
Last week's log: irclog.perlgeek.de/parrotsketch/2013-04-30 19:58
I am hopeful that my request last week for post-reports during the (then-)coming week fell on no ears, due to moritz++ logs being unavailable.
Anything else before adjourning? 19:59
Then, meeting adjourned. Thanks to all! (Including lurkers and log-readers) 20:00
