We're also having our hack-a-thon this weekend (July 13-14). We're expecting around 15 people to participate on IRC and perhaps a Google hangout.

Hopefully we'll be making some good headway on things for our next release (which will include ARM Linux support among other things).

Here's the task list for this hackaton. https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/wiki

Things that stand out to me are the LLVM back end, Coroutines support, Postgres library, and uWSGI binding.

The LLVM backend and Coroutines support are a bit more than would fit into a hack-a-thon. The LLVM backend is actually making good progress with someone who has been working on it for a long time (with some breaks).

The postgres client library and uWSGI bindings are probably doable within a weekend. Feel like dropping by? :)
