1) DebConf14 Registration for sponsored accomodation/food/travel for DebConf has closed ~2 days ago, so I guess most people should know by now if they're attending. Feel free to satisfy my curiosity about who's coming and help me adding a roommate preference in summit (once the field reappears there) :) If there are no objections, I plan to submit the usual Debian perl Group BOF, once the CfP opens. 2) pkg-perl sprint As you probably know, there won't be a DebCamp before DebConf this year, but it has been suggested by Lucas that teams might organize a sprint in this time: http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20140414.112439.1c242055.en.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/04/msg00007.html And there might be help from the local team with the organization: http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20131002.135020.a7b8cc21.en.html So, the question is if we want to organize a pre-DebConf sprint, following https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/HowTo . I always found it very productive to have a couple of days to work on pkg-perl matters together with others from the team, so I'd be in favour of a sprint in Portland, OR from eg. Tue 19th to Fri 22nd August (DebConf arrival/accomodation starts at Friday, IIRC). As for possible topics, I think we have enough things we could do. Starting a quick brainstorming, the following points come to my mind (based on https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/OpenTasks ): - Perl 5.20 transition Judging from experience, there will be some work to do after 5.20 hits unstable, as in fixing remaining RC bugs, NMUing non-team packages, changing alternative dependencies etc. - autopkgtest (DEP8) - jenkins (rebuilding reverse (build) deps after uploads) - deal with remaining RC bugs from 5.18 / package removals - integrating upstream git repos into our workflow / finishing tools in pkg-perl-tools - enable hardening flags for remaining arch:any packages - split up remaining bundle packages - switch repackaging to Files-Excluded - package cleanup in git (never uploaded packages) - continue to forward patches upstream So, what do people think about the idea of a sprint, and who would be interested to participate?
