We have received the following Hague Grant application from the organisers of the Swiss Perl Workshop. Before we vote on this proposal we would like to have a period of community consultation for 7 days. Please leave feedback in the comments or if you prefer send email with your comments to karen at perlfoundation.org.
**Name**: Matthias Bloch, Roman Baumer, Dirk Deimeke
**Project Title**: Perl 6 Hackathon at the Swiss Perl Workshop 2015
**Amount Requested**: $3000
**Synopsis**:
We are holding a Perl 6 Hackathon on Thursday 27th to Saturday 29th August in conjunction with the "Swiss Perl Workshop":http://act.perl-workshop.ch/spw2015/.
At the beginning of the year Larry Wall announced that the Perl 6 Developers will attempt to make a development release of Version 1.0 of Perl 6.0 in time for his 61st Birthday in September this year and a Version 1.0 release by Christmas 2015.
This hackathon will bring together a number of key Perl 6 developers to allow them to work on the Perl 6 release goals. We are requesting support to help with covering the costs of travel and hotel expenses.
The following developers are attending the Hackathon (not all of them require funding):

Sounds like a good use of these funds.
I am +1 to it, since I saw there are three days of ‎Perl 6 Hackathon.
