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
