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

[Todd Presta]

I can host or anyone for that matter and we can just add collaborators to the repo itself AFAIK. The project should be in its own repo for easier tracking. The biggest question is what to name it. Early on we thought of it to be a web sponge of sorts. I like the Padre IDE's other name: "Almost Six." Maybe we could call it Sponge Six? It could have a cool 3D logo with the number 6 and a sponge texture applied. :)

Anyone had any names in mind?

Unless there are any objections, I'll create a repo called sponge-six this evening and add Aran and Shawn initially as collaborators so we can all do a test push-pull. 

If the name doesn't work out, its's no big deal to delete it...

Hey Todd - should we use one of your github repos for this project?  If not, could you make one?

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.
