Stephen Weeks will be giving a presentation related to Parrot.

Parrot is a project to build both a virtual machine for dynamic
languages and a comprehensive set of compiler-building tools to help
people implement their languages on top of Parrot.

Parrot was originally started to provide a virtual machine for Perl 6.

We've had regular monthly releases for quite a while now. We're a very
active open-source project.

The presentation will occur at the regular ALG meeting on August 21 at:
