DESCRIPTION:*Agenda*\n\n* OCL update (Anil)\n\n* OCaml Platform (Anil)\nTh
 e OCaml Platform combines the core OCaml compiler with a coherent set of t
 ools\, documentation\, libraries and testing resources. The project is led
  by the OCaml Labs group in Cambridge\, working closely with OCaml-Pro in 
 France\, and the requirements are being guided by the industrial OCaml Con
 sortium (primarily Jane Street\, Citrix and Lexifi to start with). Creatin
 g and maintaining the Platform is an ambitious\, long-term project so the 
 v0.1 is not taking arbitrary decisions about which packages are included. 
 Instead\, we are first placing the industrial contributors on a common too
 lchain and workflow so that it’s easier to work together and share code.
  We expect a standard set of libraries to emerge from consensus over time 
 as this workflow rises in adoption.\n(Full abstract: http://bit.ly/1goBbmA
 )\n\n* OCamlot (David Sheets)\nOCamlot provides a distributed\, continuous
  testing service for OPAM package quality and compatibility. Using signals
  from GitHub\, OCamlot ensures that\, before being merged\, patches submit
 ted to the OPAM repository are thoroughly tested on the variety of support
 ed configurations\, architectures\, and systems. The resulting improved bu
 ild and metadata quality in turn speeds up development on other aspects of
  the Platform through earlier error feedback. A high-quality package repos
 itory is also very important for new user retention.\n(Full abstract: http

 ed\, high-level interface for describing C types\, accessing C data\, and 
 calling C functions. Using ctypes\, you can bind to foreign functions with
 out writing or generating C.\n(Full abstract: http://bit.ly/1goB62x)\n
