* added some new apache data types for the 0.6 milestone
* lots of recent breakage from rakudo changes, jonathan++ fixed the one from RT #62326
* TT #185 is still holding up mod_perl6. i'm trying to work on it myself to get a better understanding of some internals. not expecting to make today's release, but that's not such a big deal.
administrative:

EOR
chromatic Anyone I missed? 18:47
Okay. Let's go to question time. 18:48
Q1. Are there any outstanding patches, bug fixes, or tests we need to address before the release? 18:49
pmichaud (i'm back, can report when convenient.)
chromatic Okay, go now. 18:50
pmichaud worked mostly on preparations for moving rakudo out of parrot svn
a few other bug fixes here and there, and pointing others to bug fixes
did some feature improvements to Rakudo
EOR
chromatic Okay, return to question time. 18:51
pmichaud Rakudo currently has a failing spectest, but I think we're getting a handle on it.
that's not a release blocker, anyway.
NotFound My priority was to fix C++, and luckily I finished it
chromatic How about deprecations? 18:53
Are we good there?
Milestones?
pmichaud I might need to consider if there is anything I want to deprecate in PCT::HLLCompiler. 18:54
I can do that quickly, though.
allison I'll add the socket ops to deprecated list
chromatic It looks like you've ripped out n_neg too.
NotFound Checked now that rakudo also builds with c++ 18:55
pmichaud I just fixed it so that tools/languages I tend to work with no longer use n_neg.
I don't know if anything else expects n_neg.
chromatic I only saw it in a couple of other languages, but I can steal the changes.
next question 18:56
jhorwitz?
pmichaud I still need to make my comment on ops review... don't know if that affects this release.
18:56 jonathan joined
jonathan (hi, sorry, forgot about ps...) 18:57
jhorwitz allison: what's the state of the rest of the money TPF owes us?
18:57 diakopter joined
jhorwitz particle wanted me to interject on his behalf while we had you here. 18:57
NotFound Will the Obama administration support us? ;)
allison jhorwitz: sent them the summary spreadsheet, they need to go back through their records and confirm
jhorwitz ok, particle was concerned about having everything by 1.0. we can talk offline. 18:58
chromatic pmichaud, I'd like to get opcode review in DEPRECATED.pod before the release, but I'm flexible time-wise. 18:59
I can either do this early afternoon or late tonight. 19:00
pmichaud chromatic: I'll get my opcode review comments in quickly then.
pmichaud wonders if the #parrot degenerating discussion has siphoned everything away from #parrotsketch :-) 19:03
chromatic There was only one queued question, so I suspect not.
Is there anything else?
pmichaud double-checks the roadmap. 19:04
jonathan My report is basically: I've done various Rakudo stuff, plus resolved a Parrot RT ticket today.
Infinoid re-tests everything
jonathan Sorry for forgetting about the meeting!
pmichaud there's a lot of un-status'ed items on the roadmap. 19:05
Infinoid I'm guessing you guys are looking for volunteers for the TicketSprint (as listed on the roadmap)?
chromatic Yes please. 19:06
Whiteknight what does that entail?
Infinoid "legitimately close as many tickets as possible before the given release"
Whiteknight is gullible enough to sign up for anything
NotFound There is a prize? 19:07
chromatic We don't mock you in the release notes.
That's a good prize.
Whiteknight i'm tired of getting mocked :(
Infinoid I'm at $work, and won't be able to help much until after 4pm
NotFound An oil-painted copy of chrmomatic's avatar in O'Really, for example?
jhorwitz fyi -- oscon proposals are due in exactly 2 weeks. 19:09
chromatic Shall we call this a week?
moritz aye 19:10
davidfetter "ok, you're a week!" 19:12
