15:41 <Desetude> Hi all. I'm new to mirage and was wondering whether anyone could recommend any issues that would be good to tackle as a first contribution

15:50 <hannes> Desetude: what is your interest and background?

15:51 <hannes> do you already know OCaml? interested in what kind of software (presumably systems, but more storage or network or http or more high level?)?

15:52 <hannes> while the website with projects is offline, its data is at https://github.com/mirage/canopy-data/tree/master/Projects :) (they haven't been updated in a while though)

15:58 <Desetude> I've read through a decent chunk of Real World OCaml but not much more than that. There's not a specific area that attracts me more than any other area and I don't have a formal background, I have just enjoyed things like writing my own tiny toy OS and messing around with embedded systems.

15:59 <Desetude> And thanks for the link, I'll read through that project listing now

16:01 <Desetude> My interest in OCaml and mirage specifically comes from a watching a decent amount of of Anil Madhavapeddy's talks

17:55 <apache2> maybe a fun little project to make would be extending Canopy to be able to display little boxes of stuff pulled from RSS/Atom foeeds

17:55 <apache2> feeds*

17:55 <apache2> I believe there are libraries for all the components required to do that

18:01 <h01ger> hehe

18:01 <h01ger> next you will turn it into a webbrowser ;)

18:09 <dinosaure> apache2: Cumulus/Syndic can parse and generate RSS/Atom feeds if you want :)
