| Util | Pre-report: Worked on Parrot Coverity issues. Plan to finish R* .dmg this week, with no more betas. EOR | 18:54 | |
| masak | pre-port: been coding a little Perl 6 lately. my free tuits are still very much an endangered species while I settle into the new job. I expect it to get better. I announced the winner of the p6cc contest. been discussing GSoC ideas with various people. EOR | 18:55 | |
| PerlJam | masak: did you give moritz_ his $100 (sorry I don't know how to compose a pound symbol on this keyboard) | 18:56 | |
| masak | PerlJam: I sent him some books on his wishlist, yes. also, there's no pound in EUR :) | 18:57 | |
| PerlJam | oh, it was 100 euro wasn't it? momentary brain lapse. | ||
| masak | not sure when they'll arrive, but pretty sure they haven't yet. | 18:58 | |
| we'll probably get progress reports from moritz_ as they do ;) | |||
| PerlJam | I like thinking of it as 100 euro because I think it would be interesting if that "money" could make the rounds of #perl6 (now moritz_ needs to offer 100 euro for some contest :-) | 18:59 | |
| masak | actually, that's more or less what happened to me with the wiki prize :) | 19:00 | |
| perhaps that's what you're alluding to. | |||
| I should say "to us", because there were three of us sharing that prize. | |||
| o/ | 19:01 | ||
| Util | \\o | 19:02 | |
| mberends | whoz op? | 19:03 | |
| PerlJam | Is it #phasers time? | ||
| If so, who'se running the show? | 19:04 | ||
| masak | I can run the show. | ||
| let's proceed in alphabetic order. | |||
| anyone have anything to report? | 19:05 | ||
| mberends | a little... | ||
| masak | mberends: go ahead. | ||
| mberends | I have resumed benchmarking Rakudo, and am happy to report much lower RAM usage during typical spectests. | 19:06 | |
| masak | \\o/ | ||
| mberends | this is probably the result of excellent work by bacek++ etc on the Parrot memory management guts. | ||
| We are down to between 40MB and 50MB for typical spec tests, under half of what it used to be. | 19:07 | ||
| timings are on a gradual positive trend but still not as quick as alpha | |||
| This work is evolving into Popolnik, which will be ready for alpha testing soon | 19:08 | ||
| .EOR | |||
| moritz_ | \\o/ | 19:09 | |
| masak | thank you. mberends++ | ||
| moritz_: anything to report? | |||
| moritz_ received two items of the price today :-) | |||
| masak | \\o/ | ||
| moritz_ | apart from that... let me think... | ||
| fixed a rakudobug that made a book example regress | 19:10 | ||
| discussed book variations with sjn++ in #perl6book | |||
| fixed the min() and max() bug for real | |||
| discussed gsoc proposal with tadzik++ | |||
| discussed INET stuff with TiMBuS++ (IPv6 support seem to have regressed at leat partially) | 19:11 | ||
| I thikn that's it for now | |||
| masak | moritz_++ | 19:12 | |
| anyone I've missed who wants to make a report? | |||
| pmichaud is here in name but probably not behind the keyboard... | |||
| any questions or points of general discussion? | 19:13 | ||
| if not, we'll simply make it a short #phasers this week ;) | |||
| mberends | what are the GSOC critical dates? | 19:14 | |
| eg last date for submissions? | 19:15 | ||
| never mind, it's not important to me, I just wanted to understand the timeline that tadzik++ etc will be working to. | 19:16 | ||
| moritz_ hasn't found the detailed timeline yet | 19:17 | ||
| PerlJam | How many Perl 6 proposals are there? | ||
| moritz_ | the gsoc site has been relaunched, and I have a hard time finding anyhting | ||
| PerlJam: two pod6 related proposals so far | |||
| PerlJam | And how many Perl 6 people are mentors? | ||
| moritz_ | I have applied | ||
| and I want to encourage others to do that too | 19:18 | ||
| just to give them a fair rating, in presence of many p5 mentors | |||
| PerlJam | moritz_: when did you apply? how long does it take to be notified? | 19:19 | |
| I seem to recall that last year (or maybe the year before) everyone just sent their email to dukeleto or whoever the admin was | |||
| mberends | I'll happily volunteer, and would appreciate such pointers | 19:20 | |
| moritz_ | PerlJam: about a day | 19:21 | |
| you need to sign up on www.google-melange.com/ | |||
| and then there's a list of orgs, search for Perl, apply at TPF | 19:22 | ||
| mberends | ok | ||
| moritz_ | rafl (Florian Ragwitz) is this year's TPF gsoc admin | 19:23 | |
| colomon | o/ | 19:25 | |
| mberends | aha, the timeline is all the way down this: www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/...e/gsoc2011 | 19:27 | |
| yesterday student application period opened, will close 2011-04-08 | 19:28 | ||
| masak | I plan to apply as a mentor. also, I'm very excited about our Pod 6 proposals. (in case you couldn't tell from the #perl6 discussion) :) | 19:29 | |
| PerlJam | masak: indeed. | 19:31 | |
| masak | ;) | 19:32 | |
| ok, anything else, folks? | |||
| colomon | errr.... I'm working slowly on the endless stream of pi task. that's it for me at the moment. | ||
| masak | colomon++ # pieces of blogging :) | 19:33 | |
| PerlJam | nothing pressing, but ... the book. Should we try to set a target date for completion? | ||
| masak | and/or a roadmap for getting there...? | ||
| PerlJam | Having the book ready for oscon would be nice. | 19:35 | |
| or yapc::na | |||
| I don't know how much lead time chromatic needs to generate print copies, but I seem to recall that it wasn't very long (on the order of weeks) | |||
| masak | a little less than a month, I think. | 19:36 | |
| I guess both of those events are in the summer? | |||
| PerlJam | yes, yapc::na in june and oscon July | ||
| masak | oy vey. | 19:37 | |
| our momentum on the book hasn't been spectacular lately. | |||
| I know it's "just" a matter of focusing on it and applying those tuits... but... | 19:38 | ||
| PerlJam | Well, I'm getting the itch to write stuff and I want the book out there, so I've just now given myself a mission: mention the book at each #phasers and to write what I can and prod people about it until it's done. | 19:39 | |
| masak | PerlJam++ | 19:41 | |
| just mentioning the book does indeed help. | 19:42 | ||
| ok, any other topics for today? | |||
| PerlJam | I'll try to suss out areas where the book is weak for next week's #phasers and that'll be my report | ||
| Util | PerlJam: I was about to ask for that :) | ||
| masak | ++PerlJam | 19:43 | |
| I think I could definitely comb through the book and come out with 100 or so TODOs. | 19:44 | ||
| question is where to get those tuits... :/ | |||
| PerlJam | masak: forego sleep :) | ||
| moritz_ | one more thing... don't just plan to apply as mentor, do it NOW | 19:45 | |
| spinclad | (each day has a foregone conclusion) | ||
| moritz_ | it doesn't take long: fill out a form, and write a line to rafl along with the application | ||
| like "I'd like to mentor possible Perl 6 projects" or so | 19:46 | ||
| PerlJam | moritz++ | 19:47 | |
| masak opens the appropriate browser tab as a compromise | |||
| PerlJam | (I applied earlier today essentially as a direct result of the discussion with tadzik++) | ||
| PerlJam makes a mental note to ask masak tomorrow if he applied as a mentor. | 19:48 | ||
| masak | ;) | 19:49 | |
| ok... shall we call it wraps? | |||
| we can always continue pertinent discussion on #perl6... | |||
| moritz_ | +1 | 19:50 | |
| PerlJam | +1 | ||
| masak | oki then. | ||
| thanks everybody -- you're pretty awesome! | |||
| mberends | continuing GSOC mentor signup in #soc-help on irc.perl.org... | 19:55 | |
