+    Announce: Rakudo Perl 6 compiler development release #32 ("Pisa")
+
+On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I'm happy to announce the
+August 2010 release of Rakudo Perl #32 "Pisa".  Rakudo is an 
+implementation of Perl 6 on the Parrot Virtual Machine (see 
+<http://www.parrot.org>). The tarball for the August 2010 release
+is available from <http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/downloads>.
+
+Please note: This announcement is not for the Rakudo Star distribution --
+it's announcing a new release of the compiler only.  For the latest
+Rakudo Star release, see <http://github.com/rakudo/star/downloads>.
+
+The Rakudo Perl compiler follows a monthly release cycle, with each release
+named after a Perl Mongers group. The August 2010 release is code named
+"Pisa" in recognition of Perl.it's excellent work in organizing
+YAPC::EU 2010, "The Renaissance of Perl" [1,2].  Many Rakudo
+developers presented at the conference, and it was an excellent
+location for hackathon and planning the next states of Rakudo
+development.
+
+Some of the specific changes and improvements occurring with this
+release include:

+For a more detailed list of changes see "docs/ChangeLog".
