Greetings ackers and ackettes!

Ackites?
Acketeers?
...

Hello, fellow Ack users! Andy and I will be discussing Ack 2 on
Sunday morning at 9:00 AM (UTC-0500, or American Central Standard
Time), and we'll have an IRC channel #ack on irc.perl.org for those of
you who would like to follow along and contribute their ideas.

New Ack time, new Ack channel!

-Rob

New Ack time, new Ack channel!

Specifically, we're going to be talking about plans for moving forward with development of ack 2.0.  I've got a pretty good idea of what ack 2.0 is going to look like, and I want to start coming up with workable chunks that we can start coding.

We hope to see you there!

Also, there's an ack2 project on Github that has notes and plans and all sorts of good scraps.


See you there!

xoxo,
Andy

Most of US is on Daylight time, not Standard. (Indiana and a few other dairy farms excepted.)
UTC-5 is EST (in season) or CDT (now). So I guess you mean 10 EDT, 9 Central. 

iF I am awake that early on Sunday, it means I'm at MIT Swapmeet.

Do we not have any Portland Hipsters on list?

How about we just say "US/Central" and all be happy?

Bummed I won't be able to make it, but I'll be happy to look through the notes and help out coding wise as I can. If I get my act together this week I'll check out the github notes too.

One of my goals for Sunday is to have bite-size chunks of stuff for people to do.  They might be big bites, I guess, but we need something more specific and narrow than just "Work on ack 2.0" :-)

Damn, I thought I did my homework on that...checked Wikipedia and
everything. =) I hate time zones.

I don't think there's anyone who's done programming more than a year or two that doesn't hate TZs.

Can  a log of the IRC be taken? Not sure if I'm going to be awake at 9am central time, since I'm -10 GMT

Is there a log or better-even summary minutes for those of us who slept in?
(I got caught up watching the Hugo awards live from WorldCon in Reno, so didn't get to MIT Flea either.)
