Wendy van Dijk
- Went shopping every day, sometimes twice a day, for baguettes, croissants, fruit, vegetables, cheese, meat cuts, vegan stuff, cookies, nuts, juices, soda, tea, candy and other things.
- Spent several hours every day preparing the fruit and vegetables, and cleaning after the other people.
- Made sure the attendees could eat and drink healthy stuff whenever they wanted / needed, so they didn't have to go outside, and didn't have to go all at the same time for lunch somewhere (which would have been very time-consuming). Nicest comments: "I never eat as much fruit as during a meeting like this one, thank you."
- Attended a meeting to take notes, failed, nine took over, but I transcribed the notes and sent them to Todd.

BooK
Every day I dealt with organizational stuff (finding a doctor, organizing dinners, pointing to place where to buy Chartreuse, etc.). My toolchain contributions were limited, as I found it difficult to focus between all the organizational breaks.
I still managed to:
- open https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-api/issues/634 (add information about a distribution being packaged by a third party)
- pair with Mickey to work on it (Debian first, as I had done the mapping work last year in Rubgy), and once it was in, refactor the Debian specifics into a role
- pick up information regarding Cygwin from Laurent, and Fedora from another French Perl monger, so that I can make further PR adding more external packages information
- attend the discussion about how to run a Toolchain Summit
Todd Rinaldo (toddr)
- Found a home for my pre-conference project to generate a git checkout of ALL of CPAN.
- Discussions with ANDK and others about the need for dist and distver to be a first class citizen in PAUSE.
- Discussion on CPAN::DistnameInfo and tarball naming edge-cases with Neilb, Mickey, Karen, and Sawyer
- Discussions about the . in @INC changes made this year.
- Attended the discussion about how to run a Toolchain Summit.
- The Perl 5 Porters Hackathon is based on this conference format so it was enlightening to us to hear what is done for this even.
Tuesday/Wednesday: Discussed plans with atoomic and decided to create a prototype for a CPAN checkout. He was going to build a dancer front end to my CPAN git repo.
grep.metacpan.org: Met with Leo (Ranguard) and got an offer to host our work at http://grep.cpan.me. At this point I had a first checkout of CPAN based on the contents of 02packages.details.txt. But it was clear that my ability to parse the file and convert tar balls to distros was immature.
I was introduced to DistnameInfo">CPAN::DistnameInfo. As I understand things, this is a result of the code used by search.cpan.org to convert 02packages.details.txt into dist names and dist versions.
Initially I planned to make significant changes to the module to get Dist Name and Dist Version to come back more reliably. There are tarballs that do not behave correctly. I opened some of these bugs with PAUSE for removal from the index:
- Dynaloader unexpectedly listed as being perl 5.8.6 in 02packages.details.txt
- Unexpected references to old versions of perl in 02packages.details.txt
- AuthenIMAP.pm.gz is an invalid package in 02packages.details.txt
The problem with DistnameInfo is that it gives back versions which are not parseable by version->parse. I wanted DistnameInfo to give back readable versions. This required significant changes to CPAN::DistnameInfo and in effect stripped useful information that the module was giving back. What I realized was that I need to treat the version as a "RPM version" where I do a string comparison of each section of the version like this
charsbar
- kept on porting PAUSE using Mojolicious framework, with kind encouragement from Andreas (development went on under my private repository while I was moving things around and code was too messy; I pushed stuff to GitHub on Saturday). This includes splitting one big controller into several controllers and plugins, moving out embedded XHTML/email outputs to separate templates, and writing two monkey patches to let Mojolicious render XHTML and parse query string separated by ";" correctly, to name a few.
- asked jberger for his advice about better Mojolicious practice to render emails.
- removed some of the PAUSE's old features (message management for PAUSE admin etc) and conditions (such as png is available or not) from the Mojolicious branch after brief discussion with Andreas.
- fixed an old PAUSE issue about Web UI and 06perms introduced a few years ago by the deletion of module registration.
- implemented a new CPANTS metric called main_module_version_matches_dist_version (which replaced package_version_matches_dist_version) , thanks to Karen.
- discussed CPAN::Common::Index issues et al with skaji.
- attended a few other group discussions.

- worked on matrix.cpantesters.org
- worked on not-yet-released module Test::FakeSendmail
- started to smoke freshly released perl 5.26.0-RC1 (which as usual keeps me busy writing a lot of bug reports)
- by accident smoked a number of CPAN modules with the no-dot-in-@INC hack in CPAN.pm disabled, which caused me to write even more bug reports
- prototypic replacement of a Build.PL using the yet unreleased scripting framework Doit
- found a new no-dot-in-@INC issue, discussion about it with Andreas and Leon Timmermans (leont)
- PR for a new execution mode for Plack::Middleware::WrapCGI (fork+noexec)
