Welcome to part one of this week's summary. Owning to chronic problems
with deadlines I've only got time to summarize perl6-compiler and
perl6-internals tonight; I'll do perl6-language when I get back from
$paying_job on Thursday
Unless Matt takes pity on me, and writes a summary at disgustingly
high speed, there won't be a summary this week. Assorted things got in
the way on Monday or Tuesday, and I'm now at my consulting gig 'til
the end of the week with no time for summarizing.
I'm really, really sorry.

the events of the whole year, but it turns out that chromatic's already
done it. So in the spirit of laziness, I'll just point you at his year
