Czech Packagers Team (Prague) meeting minutes 2008-08-21 ======================================================== Present: anicka anosek jmatejek lmichnovic mkudlvasr mmarek mvyskocil nadvornik prusnak puzel Minutes: jmatejek Topics: (1) packaging news (2) Jeff Jaffe's visit (3) Christmas party & Mountain trip plans (4) Internal presentations (5) RAG reports summary from 2008-08-22 (1) packaging news There are some interesting news worth mentioning in the main report: Anosek packaged the new Eclipse 3.4 in buildservice. Anicka has some problems with perl-tk. The package is long dead and it is also incompatible with new Tk, it carries it's own old version. Apparently, this old Tk doesn't work with newest Xorg. Upgrading Tk in perl-tk seems infeasible, and it's quite possible that the bug will be too hard to fix. Also, we can't drop the package because TeX depends on it. We have recently learned that there exists another "perl-tk" module, implemented differently, in a way that is much more stable and maintainable. We still need to confirm that it is source-compatible with our perl-tk. (2) Jeff Jaffe's visit We're expecting Jeff Jaffe to visit us on Thursday (28. 8.) There probably won't be any formal meeting. (3) Christmas party & Mountain trip plans Most of us agreed that last year's christmas party on the skating rink was a success and that we should do it again this year. The mountain trip will probably be on second weekend in January, so that we can enjoy some actual snow. (4) Internal presentations We discussed some possible topics for internal presentations, and they will probably all revolve around programming languages. As we are expecting rguenther's C++ training, anosek offered to do a presentation about Java and how it compares to C++, and prusnak reacted by offering C# presentation. We also talked about possible presentations for Perl (by anicka): "what's new and interesting in perl6", and "basic scripting tasks made easier in perl". Regarding the latter, we are encouraged to think of simple real-world scripts that we'd like to see (and do) in perl, and send the ideas to anicka.
