+

+ Fergus Henderson (fjh)
+ Simon Taylor (stayl)
+ Mark Brown (dougl)
+ David Overton (dmo)
+ Adrian Pellas-Rice (apell)
+ Ina Cheng (inch)
+ Simon Mei (xcsm)

+ Julien Fischer (juliensf)
+ David Jeffery (dgj)
+ Zoltan Somogyi (zs)
+
+1. Progress reports
+
+ We went around the table, with each person in turn discussing what
+ they had been working on recently and/or what they were planning
+ to work on.
+
+ Fergus Henderson (fjh)
+ - Has been doing code reviews.
+ - Has been fixing several bugs.
+ - Working on abstract equivalence types for the Java backend.
+ - Working on getting the gcc back end installed on hydra.
+
+ Simon Taylor (stayl)
+ - Starting work on the new build framework supporting
+ intermodule optimization.
+
+ Mark Brown (dougl)
+ - Has been doing code reviews.
+
+ David Overton (dmo)
+ - Working on an extension to ROBDD's described in a paper
+ by Peter Schachte.
+ - Setting up a web server on venus.
+
+ Adrian Pellas-Rice (apell)
+ - Has completed a working subset of sequence quantification.
+ - Is currently working on expanding on that.
+
+ Ina Cheng (inch)
+ - Writing samples and documentation.
+ - Server/client interface is finished.
+
+ Simon Mei (xcsm)
+ - Addressing review comments.
+ - Sent a bug report for get_functor.
+
+ Sam Thurairatnam (sthur)
+ - Has been working on saving formatting data to a file
+ and loading it in to the debugger.
+
+ Julien Fischer (juliensf)
+ - Addressing review comments.
+ - Working on runtime system for the Java backend.
+
+ David Jeffery (dgj)
+ - Working on merging changes from the HAL branch to the
+ main branch.
+ - There are still some issues to fix before this will be
+ committed.
+
+ Zoltan Somogyi (zs)
+ - Has been looking into some of the termination analysis work.
+ Using the information now available with deep profiling,
+ it should be possible to do complexity analysis.
+ - Has been working with Thomas Conway on the deep profiler.
+ - Optimization to preserve tail recursion in common
+ cases.
+ - Improved reporting where different code is called
+ from the same location (e.g. higher order calls).
+ - Has fixed a bug which was causing the erroneous_liveness
+ test case to fail.
+
+2. New machine
+
+ David Overton has been setting up venus to act as the web server,
+ but we also need some other services set up. Fergus Henderson has
+ volunteered to set up FTP, and Mark Brown has volunteered to set up
+ CVS. We will be asking Peter Ross if he would set up NIS.
+
+3. Release
+
+ - Most bugs have been fixed by now.
+ - There has been a recent problem with groups and permissions in
+ the CVS repository. Anyone making any changes to the repository
+ should check the permissions afterward and note any strange
+ behaviour, so we can narrow down what is causing this problem.
+
+4. Configure script
+
+ The configure script will check for a more recent compiler,
+ following Simon Taylor's suggestion.
+
+Minutes taken by Mark Brown (dougl at cs.mu.oz.au).
