Howdy, I asked Michael Foord if I could forward this along to parrot-dev and he said that it was fine. Please consider yourself invited to this VM Summit and contact Michael Foord with a 'maybe' or a 'yes' if you plan on attending.
I think this summit will be a great place to cross-pollinate ideas with other VM's. It is important for Parrot to have a presence. Duke ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Foord <mfo...@python.org> Date: Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 4:02 PM Subject: Invitation to the PyCon 2011 Dynamic Languages VM Summit To: Jonathan Leto <jonat...@leto.net> Hello Jonathan, At PyCon 2011 we are holding the Virtual Machine Summit, on March 9th 2011, and you are invited! This is a networking and discussion group for those involved in the implementation of Virtual Machines for dynamic languages, and is not Python specific. Invitees include developers from the CPython, JRuby, IronRuby, IronPython, PyPy, Jython, Parrot, LLVM, Lua, Smalltalk and JavaScript VM projects. Topics of discussion will include performance (of course) of dynamic languages, garbage collection strategies, language interoperation, compatibility testing, memory use, tools and tool support. Like previous years we will not have a fixed agenda but will have some bullet point discussion topics to keep things moving. Attendance is by invite only and is free. There is no requirement that attendees also attend PyCon, but you are responsible for your own travel and accommodation costs. The venue is the Hyatt Regency Atlanta: Main PyCon 2011 website: http://us.pycon.org/2011/ Venue details: http://us.pycon.org/2011/venue/ If you would like to attend, please reply to this email to let me know. If you are considering coming, but not able to make a definite decision yet, then a 'maybe' is still helpful for our venue planning. Feel free to suggest to me other people that it would be good to invite or contact me with any other questions. We would also like to have short presentations from all the projects represented at the summit. If you have anything you would like to present (the more experimental the better) then please let me know. The summit will run from 10am to 4pm (March 9th 2011). Attendees will be emailed with room details (etc) closer to the final date. All the best, Michael Foord VM Summit Organiser -- http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ READ CAREFULLY.
