	Rock Concert Movement #237 - Taking the audience on a Jungian =
journey
	into the collective unconscious by using the shadow as a =
metaphor for
	the primal self that gets repressed by the modern persona and =
also by
	using an underground setting and labyrinth office design to =
represent
	both the depths of the psyche and the dungeon-like isolation of =
our
	increasingly mechanistic society which prevents people from =
finding
	satisfying work or meaningful connections with others.

On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 5.7.0, also =
known
as "Azure-rumped Parrot".  Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual =
machine aimed
at running all dynamic languages.

Parrot 5.7.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site
(ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/5.7.0/), or by following =
the
download instructions at http://parrot.org/download.  For those who =
would like
to develop on Parrot, or help develop Parrot itself, we recommend using =
Git to
retrieve the source code to get the latest and best Parrot code.

Parrot 5.7.0 News:
   - Build
       + Fixed GH#976 - Cannot load PCRE library during install on =
gentoo x64.
   - Community
       + All three of our GSoC students passed their midterms, and are
         on track to complete their Parrot and Perl 6 projects on time.
         Congratulations to Saurabh Kumar, Pawe=C5=82 Murias, and Denis =
Boyun!
