Simon Cozens now the Perl6 Source Pumpking

gnat writes "I'm happy to say that, in preparation for the release of the first piece of Parrot code, Simon Cozens has stepped forward to hold the source pumpkin."

Simon's responsible for the contents of the internal and external source distribution. He'll update the CVS repository with patches submitted by the public to perl6-internals. He'll make periodic releases available on CPAN. He'll also build an initial team of committers from those who submit good patches.

Simon will have to work closely with many people, including:

  • Larry, who is designing the language
  • Dan, who is designing the internals
  • Schwern and everyone else from QA, who will be responsible for smoking the builds, unit testing, and more
  • The as-yet-unknown configuration and build group, responsible for determining system configuration and the build process.
