[Thousand-oaks-pm] Saturday Hackathon Perl 6 Rakudo

[Todd Presta]

I don't remember $you at any of the meetings. :)

The time slot is good for me. I think I left the twitter search api code on my other machine. It was a simple OO approach to the wpget.p6 program somewhere in one of my github repos, as was just a Perl 6 class that used a role to perform the core retrieval behavior (IO::SOCKET::INET, etc). It also used the following Perl 6 code http://github.com/moritz/json/tree/master to parse the JSON content returned from the twitter api search call.

Gotta get back onto my old machine, find the code,  and migrate the new box.

Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] Saturday Hackathon Perl 6 Rakudo

So we have a Perl 6 Hackathon scheduled for this Saturday August 29th at the ValueClick office.

So far I think we have 4 or 5 people who have either confirmed or showed interest in working on this.  

Todd
Aran
Andrew
Shawn 
$you

If anyone else is interested please let me know because we would love to have you there.  Free coffee, soda, and hot babes will be there too doing the monkey dance.
Its a great way to help out the Perl 6 core development team by giving Rakudo more experience points so that it may level up faster. 
We are also learning the new language features that we have been looking forward to. 

Todd has created SQLite functionality for us to use along with Rakudo
and Parrot. He also created several other key pieces of Perl 6
functionality we will need. 
Todd has also been able to access the Twitter Search api with Perl 6. 

Aran has got mod_parrot working with Apache. So we have everything we
need to do something non-trivial and useful with Perl 6 as far as web services go. 

I have worked on creating Perl 6 clients for the Twitter api and the
Daylife api ( neither is complete ) .  I am going to see if I can
finish up the Daylife client before Saturday so we can have more data
to play with from the start.

The proposed time I believe was 9 am. to 1 pm.   Does this time work for everyone?  

Best Regards
Shawn Faison
