Util # Done: 19:32
* Released 5.4.0 with 1 test failure introduced by my error during the release process. No bug-fix release has been needed by Rakudo.
# Doing:
* Finishing YAPC::NA talk. Mostly dark until completion. 19:33
# Community:
* GSoC students selected! Congratulations to:
+ sa1 (Saurabh Kumar): Parrot VM bindings to the libgit2 0.18 API
+ pmurias (Paweł Murias): JavaScript backend for NQP (and Rakudo Perl 6)
+ denisboyun (Denis Boyun) Improve Web UI of app-parrot-create
* GSoC "Community Bonding Period" runs May 27th through Jun 16th:
"Students get to know mentors, read documentation, get up to speed to begin working on their projects."

# Requests:
* Coke would like assistance with a probable GC issue in NQP's use of Parrot.
+ github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/s...object.pmc is showing up in some persistant rakudo failures when running on parrot. (specifically in destroy, but it could be an initial setup issue)

Util FYI, I will be sending out dukeleto's "Parrot's rules for GSoC" to students and mentors by tomorrow. 19:36
Hello! Who is in attendance?
sa1 Util: Hi 19:37
lizmat is just lurking at her first parrotsketch meeting
sa1 hmm, er sorry for that /me
anyway, I look forward to those rules 19:38
Util: What will be in there?
Util lizmat: Welcome! This meeting fell out of use for some months, and I am trying to get it back to general usefullness. 19:39
Especially needed now that GSoC has begun.
sa1: Things like weekly reports to #ps and blog posts, no starting another job w/o permission (since GSoC+College should = full time load), etc. 19:41
sa1 Right. 19:42
damn, I have a habit of ctrl+enter from another client.
Util sa1: Do you still have unanswered questions about NCI, left over from your parrot-dev email?
sa1 Util: yes. 19:43
Basically I listed down some improvements needed. 19:44
I need feedback if they are enough or not.
Can't tell till I'm actually using those low-level bindings
Util Re-reading your email, I am unclear whether you are pointing out bugs in Parrot+Winxed NCI, or in the *use* of NCI by the libgit2 interface code that you will be working on. Clarify? 19:47
sa1 The latter. 19:48
I was pointing out bugs in the script that generates nci defs from git2 headers.
That's part of the current parrot-libgit2 19:49
Util sa1: I see. dukeleto will be mentoring you, and he is better equipped to speak on this, but I don't know when he will be able to resurface, and we don't want anyone idling when then want to be progressing. 19:53
So, I recommend that you take "nothing" as an answer to "Anything I missed?", and proceed on.
If you missed anything, it will turn up as you use the output of header2nci.pl.
sa1 Yes. I should proceed on. 19:54
Util We can help better with concrete failings, and with specific questions on things you remain fuzzy on. We discussed PMCs last week. Anything we can clarify this week? 19:55
sa1 No, not for now. The other doubts I have are libgit2 related.
Util We may be able to help with those, too. 19:56
19:56 isBEKaml joined
sa1 They are mostly about what data-structures I need to add. 19:57
the header2nci.pl adds an interface to functions.
and common.winxed has many objects already. 19:58
Hmm, its a lot of manual work for now.
There was some more specific stuff too in there, but I forget. 20:00
I'll compose another email for dukeleto
Util juggles #p and #ps; sorry for the delay. 20:06

Util sa1: Consider cc'ing parrot-dev on anything you ask dukeleto, when there is a chance one of us could respond faster, or with a different perspective. 20:07
An email with specifics is a good next step.
sa1: Are you coming to YAPC::NA? Do you know if the other two GSoC students are coming? 20:08
sa1 Util: can't. Its on the other side of the world. I don't know about the other students. 20:09
Util sa1: OK, thanks.
sa1 I would have loved to come though.
Not enough similar conferences here.
Util YAPC::Asia close enough? 20:10
Notice to late-comers: Next week's meeting may be minimal, due to YAPC::NA attendance. Pre-reports and post-reports will be welcome. 20:14
ANy other business before adjourning?
sa1 No. Once its outside the country then I don't think it matters much. I'll have to fund travel, stays, etc.
The gsoc money will probably be a good investment on these things once I get more integrated with the community I guess. 20:15
I did meet timtoady here though last year. 20:16
No other business from my side. 20:17
Util OK then, Meeting Adjourned, and Thanks to all participants!
