Hi everybody, I'm forwarding Sean Leather's message, mostly to remind everybody to get ready for the darcs hacking sprint! The following mail has requests for volunteers as well as a checklist for all participants.
Looking forward to seeing you in Utrecht! (or #darcs, or on the mailing list) Eric ====================================================================== Volunteers needed ====================================================================== - photographer - reporter (I could do this, but if somebody else wants to help, great!) - patch reviewers (if you only have a limited amount of time and won't be able to hack on anything, this may be the job for you, or if you need coding breaks). - build slave operators ====================================================================== Participant's checklist ====================================================================== If you are participating in the sprint in any way, please do the following: 1. Register for Hac5, and add yourself to the attendee list and darcs project 2. Get a community.haskell.org account http://community.haskell.org/admin/account_request.html 3. Tell Eric what your code.haskell.org login is if you have not done so already. I plan for us to have lots of little thematic branches under http://code.haskell.org/darcs/sprint 4. Make sure you can build the latest darcs darcs get http://darcs.net cabal configure cabal build 5. Make sure you can run the darcs buildbot instance darcs get http://code.haskell.org/darcs/buildbot This should be painless. Just copy-and-paste the quickstart instructions. My hope is that we can have buildbots (masters and slaves) running over the sprint, one for each branch at least. 6. Note what you're thinking of working on, on the wiki. This doesn't commit you to anything; it just gives us an idea what's going on. ====================================================================== Projects so far ====================================================================== http://wiki.darcs.net/index.html/Sprints/2009-04 * Darcs-2 Fundamentals o zlib issue - DuncanCoutts (at least making the new zlib library) o issue701 forensics - EricKow o documenting Darcs.Patch.Real (issue701) - EricKow o http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1327 o gz auditing - ThorkilNaur o commute properties - maybe GaneshSittampalam o type witness cleanup - BenMoseley o minimal patch context generation and hashing - maybe ArjanBoeijink * Camp/Darcs-3 o IanLynagh o ArjanBoeijink * Performance o hashed-storage - PetrRockai o filecache - BenediktSchmidt o life without compressed patches - costs? benefits? PetrRockai o packs: PacksSpecification. Caution: please implement within hashed-storage! o Benchmarking - volunteer needed + see StandardDarcsBenchmarks + slowfs + visualisation * Testing o Quick testsuite that runs in less than 5s - ReinierLamers o Better QuickCheck testing framework - ReinierLamers + Easily define quickcheck properties anywhere in darcs source + Control which properties get checked using command-line flags + Use HPC to measure coverage * ProbablyEasy bugs o http://tinyurl.com/darcs-probablyeasy * Features o http://bugs.darcs.net/issue291 - hunk editing; TODO: check with hoelzro (GaneshSittampalam expressed an interest) o http://bugs.darcs.net/issue126 - hunk splitting -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
--- Begin Message ---In six days, tens of crazy/obsessed, type-safe, functional programmers will be converging on Utrecht to commence execution of... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 5th Haskell Hackathon April 17 - 19, 2009 Utrecht, The Netherlands ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The local organizing team welcomes you all and looks forward to all of the new developments that come out of everyone's undying quest to write more and better code. As always, you can find lots of useful information on the wiki: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac5 == Sponsors == We have sponsors! The following companies were very gracious to provide us with support during these tough economic times. * Galois - http://galois.com/ * Microsoft Research - http://research.microsoft.com/ * Tupil - http://tupil.com/ The organizers are incredibly grateful to Galois, MSR, and Tupil for helping to encourage and promote more Haskell hacking. == More To Come == Hopefully, you have already registered, booked your room, and bought your ticket. If not, don't forget that you can keep in touch with the attendees via IRC on Freenode: #haskell-hac5 All registered attendees will soon be receiving an email with more details. Let us know if you have any questions.
