GSoC

Going to add non-Apple members as mentors, process is still unclear

Projects still very much Swift focused - but no clear SSWG projects yet

  • Memcached is a popular one
  • Experience from last year - wrapping C libraries is possible but not the best experience. Ideally prefer Swift native code
  • [:a: - all] Revisit guidelines around wrapping C code and when it should be done and how to do it
  • Wrapping C document should not be owned by SSWG

Cassandra Client

  • Multiple teams inside Apple are using it
  • Nothing in the incubation process about stable API, only applies to graduated
  • Super majority vote to accept it as incubating :tada:

2023 Goals

  • Swift.org - Swift project in 2023 contains our goals which we’re happy with
  • Need to work out where tooling/compiler focuses fall between workgroups
  • @0xTim would like to see a focus on Sendable as well as Concurrency
  • :a: @ktoso to create a guide/PR on Swift.org for Sendable
  • Tim would also like to see more success stories for running Swift on server, including more blogs on Swift.org
  • :a: @jdmcd to put together a pitch for blog
  • Get tracing to 1.0
  • :a: @FranzBusch and @0xTim write 2022 Review Post
