particle writes "Aloha!

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 0.6.1 "Bird of
Paradise." Parrot (http://parrotcode.org/) is a virtual machine aimed at
running all dynamic languages.

Parrot 0.6.1 can be obtained via CPAN (soon), or follow the download
instructions at [0]http://parrotcode.org/source.html. For those who would
like to develop on Parrot, or help develop Parrot itself, we recommend
using Subversion or SVK on the source code repository to get the latest
and best Parrot code.

[0]YAPC::Asia 2008 organizers would like to thank Eric Cholet, the author
of [1]ACT for the great conference organizing software that powers most
of YAPCs and Perl Workshops.

To show the appreciation in the hacker's way, I'm flying to [2]Paris,
France next weekend (April 24-28) funded by YAPC::Asia possible profit,
to work on Act feature enhancement.

We plan to work on these things because we want them for YAPC::Asia:

* OpenID provider support
* Better Japanese names display (i18n)
* Embed videos and slides (YouTube, Google Video etc.) in talks
* Personal Scheduling (Who is attending to which talks)
* Online check-in API (Who actually showed up when)
* Promotional code / coupon for discounted payments

We (at least, I) prioritize implementing these because the trip is funded
by YAPC::Asia but if there's anything you think is missing for Act, I'd
love to hear. Remote participation (#act on irc.perl.org during the
weekend) would be welcome too!
