YAPC is, among other things, a wonderful opportunity to meet and talk
face-to-face about things that concern us. This YAPC, one topic was how
to get Parrot development on track to make it the VM we all believe it
can be. One outcome of these discussions is a bit of a personnel shuffle,
to wit:
I'm pleased to announce that Allison Randal is taking over as architect
of Parrot, and I'm being promoted to pumpking.
Allison, of course, needs no introduction; as architect, she will flesh
out the vision of a virtual machine for dynamic languages, that's been
her primary interest from the beginning.
I, on the other hand, am very happy to be diving back into the code where
I've learned I'm the happiest. Writing specs and writing code are
similar; but when you're done with code, there's a "go" button, and
lights flash and wheels turn. It's the best toy set in the world. :-) So,
to me, this is a promotion.
Both Allison and I thank Leo for his service as pumpking. He's done a
yeoman's job getting parrot releases regular and stable. We're very
pleased that Leo is staying on to continue improving parrot internals.
Now that I'm going to carry the release cycle burden, he'll have more
opportunity to respond to language implementors' issues, making Parrot
better for all.
Onward & upward! Squawk!

"I estimate that it would take approximately 2000 CPU years to smoke all
of CPAN on a reasonable set of platforms." -- Adam Kennedy, 2000 light
