i propose to sent every meeting log into cvs-ghc

I second this. The mibbit.com IRC client is currently blocked by freenode.net, so I am unable to participate, and would like to see a log :-)

Log here: http://haskell.org/~duncan/ghc/%23ghc-2008-07-16.log Hopefully we can put them in some standard place as we go on. Duncan

Thanks to everyone who turned up and joined in, we had an interesting discussion about the HLP. On this basis I think we should try making it a weekly event.

Thanks for arranging the meeting. I couldn't attend this time but I've read the logs and given the constructive discussion I definitely think it's worth making into a weekly event. Cheers, Johan

Ian and I talked about possibly trying a different time - 9pm UK time, which would be slightly less friendly to us in the UK (I have my work/life balance to think about you know :-) but more friendly to people in the US.

I would have a hard time attending at this time since it's after work hours in Europe. One nice thing with having it during work hours is that I can have my IRC open in one window while I work.

For this week's discussion, one topic on the table is whether to switch version control systems, which I'm sure will make for a lively debate :)

Yes! Git please. Cheers, Johan darcs-ate-our-ICFP-submission Tibell

I, for one, am happy with the current time; changing it should always be an option though.

For this week's discussion, one topic on the table is whether to switch version control systems, which I'm sure will make for a lively debate :) Perhaps we could have an ever evolving wiki page with the when/where/agenda/logs. I've started a rough one [1]; I put it in the general Haskell wiki because these topics certainly aren't confined to GHC.

Hmm, well I did intend these meetings to be focussed mainly on issues relating to GHC, rather than a general Haskell discussion which could be held on #haskell separately. By all means start a more general Haskell meeting too, but I want to keep this one for GHC. The VCS debate is about what system GHC should use, not the community as a whole. The HLP discussion is on topic because it is so closely related to how we release/package/ship GHC. Cheers, Simon

Hi folks,

I've been wondering whether it would be useful to have a weekly IRC meeting to discuss GHC. The idea would be that this is a scheduled time when the developers turn up on #ghc, we'll discuss current topics around GHC, and users can chime in with questions, points for discussion, complaints :-) and so on. I imagine making it completely informal to begin with, and later adding some structure (an agenda etc.) if necessary.

Another option is a conference call, but personally I prefer the IRC medium for this kind of meeting. A conference call could work too, though.

Thoughts? I'm thinking a time around 1600 UK time (currently UTC+1) would probably work best, does anyone have preferences for days?

I think this is a good plan. 1600 UTC+1 is currently 8am Friday on the USA west coast fwiw.  I'd listen in if this plan comes to fruition. The 1600 UTC+1 time would work fine.

Tom

Ok, the first weekly IRC meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 16 July (tomorrow) at 1600 BST (UTC+1) 0800 PDT (UTC-7) 1100 EDT (UTC-4) 0100 Thursday in Sydney (sorry guys :-) If it turns out to be useful, we'll make it a regular thing. See you in #ghc on chat.freenode.net. More instructions for getting on IRC are here: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/IRC_channel. Cheers, Simon

One idea we have is to talk about the GHC API.

I am generally interested in this, but cannot contribute much at the moment.
