We
- Arranged for a representative from TPRF to join us in January to discuss roadmaps
- Started discussing what might turn up in the PSC talk at FOSDEM
We’re skipping next week due to Christmas, so next meeting should be on 2024-01-04
This week, Graham was on holidays, so Paul and Philippe:
- reviewed new mailing list threads. Just one - a rethink of signatures.
- submitted a talk proposal to the Perl dev room at FOSDEM
- continued to discuss the complexities of moving past the number ‘5’ for the major part of the language version
Quote of the week: “There are features that make the language slow, but those are the features that make the language.”
Three Perl releases have been published this past week, containing patches for security issues CVE-2023-47038 and CVE-2023-47039. This kept us busy for the past few weeks (explaining the somewhat thinner recent updates).
- Paul will publish a post-mortem on the recent releases, looking at what went wrong and some thoughts on how to improve it so those don’t happen again
- We discussed a plan to improve documentation of the security disclosure process
- We took note of what projects we have in flight (e.g. PPCs being implemented) and may find a way to keep that list published and updated
