Forum: Ruby-core [ANN] Implementer Meeting

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the fairly short notice, but we'll have another implementer 
meeting
on Jan 15th 23:00 (UTC).  The official meeting should last no longer 
than 1
hour.  Ruby language implementers and core team members are welcome to 
attend.

I've posted the agenda on the wiki:

  https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby/wiki/Deve...

If there is something you'd like to add to the agenda, please edit the 
wiki or
email me.  I will MC the meeting, and possibly have Eric do moderation 
(I
haven't asked him if he's willing yet).

The meeting will be held in IRC on freenode in #ruby-implementers.  Make 
sure
to put your IRC nick in the wiki (or tell me) so that you'll have voice 
in the
channel.

After the meeting is concluded, I'll send out a survey to participants 
so that
I can improve the meetings in the future.  If you do not wish to 
participate in
the survey, please let me know.

Hey Aaron,

I attempted to add my name, but it seems my Redmine account does not 
have access to edit that page? My IRC nick is "jballanc". Two other 
questions:

1. Keyword Arguments are already part of 2.0, so I assume this topic is 
on the agenda for the sake of clarification points (i.e. Bugs #7662, 
#7663, and #7664)?
2. Is it too soon to start talking about future features/issues? For 
example, I'd love to start discussions around Feature #6710 
(https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6710), since I suspect it will take a 
while to work through all of the details.

Cheers,

Josh

Well that is lame.  You have a redmine account, right?  I thought that
was all that is necessary.

OK, you should be added.

That's the idea.  I'll add links to those issues in the agenda.

Nope, I don't think it's too early.  I've added it to the agenda.

Thanks!

Hello Aaron,

I am unable to edit the wiki page myself. I would like voice in IRC, 
please. My IRC
nickname is "ferrous26".

Thanks,
  Mark

I'm worried about issues with Enumerator::Lazy. Should we discuss this 
at
the meeting?

The problems are that the public API for Lazy.new needs to be finalized
(#7248) and that handling internal state is problematic, both for MRI
(#7691, #7696) and for the user implementations.

Hello Aaron,

I have been able to edit the wiki page, but I haven't been able to enter
the IRC channel. If that's going to work by the time of the meeting,
then fine. Otherwise, I'd appreciate information on what I'm doing
wrong. (I tried both with Opera and with LimeChat. It says I don't have
the right to access the channel.)

Regards,   Martin.

We probably should have.  I didn't check ruby-core before starting the
meeting, or I would have added this to the list.  I'm really sorry.  I
will check the mailing list before starting the meeting next time.

I guess we'll have to discuss this on Redmine until the next meeting.
:(

@Martin: Do you have a registered username/did you log into your user 
name?
The channel might of been on "-R"? I don't remember.

I've also had good luck with using the webchat client:
