Maybe we should divvy these tasks out. It wouldn't do that have two
people smoke-testing on the exact same machine or to have two SVN
mirrors ...

dev.pugscode.org seems indicated ...

I'd like another one, as "boogie". I think now, that I will use it, but I
have a lot of jobs these days, with higher priorities :( than Perl6.

I can offer a subdomain of perl6.hu, too - as a CNAME. ;)
I think, the cute name can be about animals. A camel and a parrot are in
my mind.
Or what about camelseeks.org/perlseeks.org? It sounds like camel6 and
perl6.

Unfortunately, I have no tuits, otherwise I would love to. Porting
PREFIX from EU::MM to M::B is going to take all of my available time,
assuming I have any after the baby's born.

How about dev.perl6.nl -- I'll CNAME dev.pugscode.org there.
Thanks,

Access to this machine would also be handy for participants of the Austrian
Perl Workshop Parrot/Pugs hack-a-thon:
http://conferences.yapceurope.org/apw2005
While I will inform everyone what
they need, I'm sure quite a lot people will show up without a fresh checkout
of the various repositories. So if I can get a number of dummy accounts (to
be deleted after the event) that would be great!
BTW, will all users on this machine share one svn working copy or is
everyone supposed to to his/her own checkout? Or is this one of the things
someone should organise?

Lots of thanks for this. A dedicated server will make my life easier, at

All I need are the basics - vim, scp. I think those are installed by
default, anyway. A perl-enabled version of vim would be nice.

I think that, for hacking there's no need for users on a remote machine,
if the hackers has a computer, they can develop locally, has a repo
locally. Or if you can offer computers locally, you can install an
environment for them (or maybe you would like to take out these installs
with this server?).
If there will be new projects starting there, then it would be nice to
share them with a server for other people, to get it after the conference,
and join. But it needs an SVN server, at least, and an easy to setup plain
project site skeleton. I think it would be nice, if somebody can prepare
these tools for both Hackathon, and for other people as well.

I just thinking something related these animals, not the animal. Maybe
feather, etc. It's not the big idea itself. ;)

I have no these thoughts about camel, but it's your decision. However, I
like "onion", what Thomas recommended.

You mean, that you would like to create a subdomain for perl6.nl?

Got this one. Weird.

Juerd, why am I getting everyone's responses, but not your original
messages?
That's catchy, and we could all remember it. Or in keeping with the
Tolkien theme, there's always:
silmaril.perl6.nl
valinor.perl6.nl
or some such.

May I have an account name 'kolibrie'?

I tend to like to have a copy of 'darcs' on-hand, and I really like
'screen'.
Thanks for this great service to the Perl6 community!

I'd like to volunteer to setup the SVN/SVK mirror.
Software wise can I ask for:
* svk
* vim
* screen
* cron

I would like an account, name 'spinclad'.
The need for svn, ghc and such has finally pushed me to upgrade my home
debian box to sarge, and I'm still looking for a package with ghc6.4, or
the tuits to build one myself. (Doubtless someone will point me to an
overlooked message announcing one months back...) I think having a
joint testbed machine to look over, test things, compare with home, and
help with would be a good use of my time at this point.

I like onion, too... maybe 'geode' later, when perl6 has been cast in
stone. (Though then we wouldn't need a dev server...)

Sure.

Get ghc-cvs from sid. Don't use sarge if you want to use recent
software.

Unfortunately, onion is already taken by another important Perl server:
onion.perl.org.
I'm currently considering 'ui', which is Dutch for 'onion'. I bet almost
nobody here knows how to pronounce ui ;)
That reads 'user interface' to me, which I think isn't what we want.
How about 'sipuli'? That's what onion is called in Finnish. :)
Anyway, I do think the name should be English, to be as accessible as
possible. 'Feather' is nice, and reminds me of Pugs's origins. On the
other hand, maybe 'falcon' (as terribly cliched as it is) is more
accurate of Pugs nowadays.

Just to know, onion in Hungarian is "hagyma". ;)

Portuguese: cebola
Finnish: sipoli
Might be a coincidence, but might also be a borrowed word.

(This is extremely OT for the list.)
That's 'sipuli', actually.
I'm not sure (I'm not an etymologist), but there might be a common root
in the latin name - Allium _cepa_ Linnaeus. It seems to have had
multiple common latin names in the past, most of them based on 'cepa'.
'Cepae' is remarkably close to Finnish, although the ending is
different.
(Finnish in general has some _very_ old forms of words that have
degenerated ages ago in other languages.)

It'd be 'lauksdóttir' (due to declension) and mean 'daughter of an
onion'. If nothing else, it would make people look at you in a funny
way... ;)
For a development machine, the yiddish pronunciation would
work well. That would make it sound like OY! :-)

Since my interest is bioinformatics, I intend to start playing with
Perl6 by translating some code from the book "Mastering Perl for

As server name, I'd lee to propose one of the Australian mammals that
was featured on the recent Perl6 Mascot Poll at Perlmonks: the numbat
(http://images.encarta.msn.com/xrefmedia/sharemed/targets/images/pho/t628/T628228A.jpg
Check out the picture, it has six distinctive white stripes, could it
be any more appropriate?)

May i have an account name "nemux" ? Thanks!

Russian: luk (pronounced similar to English "look"). For some reason,
Icelandic translation of onion is much closer to Russian than any other
variants...
The English leek is another cognate (as a word, of the laukr; as a
plant, of the onion)...
