8+ Last week, the Scala Center ran its first SIP meeting under the [ newly reformed SIP
99process] ( http://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/sip-submission.html ) , and we're happy
1010to report that several SIPs saw long-awaited decisions made, or received
1111detailed feedback from the SIP committee!

1313In the new SIP process, each SIP is assigned a reviewer, who must be someone
1414sitting on the SIP committee. The reviewer's job is to carefully read and
1515understand the SIP, and to present the SIP before the SIP committee. The
1616reviewer must also present their analysis of the SIP to the committee, and then
1717the floor is opened up for discussion on the SIP. An explicit goal of the new
1818SIP process is for a decision and next steps to be determined for each SIP

2121The SIP committee went through five SIPs in the queue. Two new SIPs received a
2222number, meaning they passed the first phase of acceptance – that is, the change
2323to Scala is accepted in theory, so long as the the committee's design and
2424implementation concerns can be adequately addressed in subsequent discussions on
2525the SIP. The two SIPs which received numbers (first-round accepted) include:
26- * [ SIP-26 Unsigned Integer Data Types] ( https://github.com/scala/slip/pull/30 )
27- * [ SIP-27 Trailing Commas] ( https://github.com/scala/scala.github.com/pull/533 )

2930Two other passed their first iteration as proposed by [ the new
3031process] ( http://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/sip-submission.html ) :
31- * [ SIP-25 Trait Parameters] ( http://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/pending/trait-parameters.html )

35- * [ SIP-22 Async] ( http://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/pending/async.html )

3740In the case of SIP-22, the authors will reopen it when they feel like taking up
3841the proposal again, and addressing the issues they must look into next; in
3942particular, figuring out how async/await can be used inside of a try/catch
40- block.

4245Overall, we're happy to report that progress was made on a number of SIPs in the
4346queue. In particular, we're excited that 2 SIPs received a first-phase of
4447acceptance in receiving their numbers, and look forward to the addition of these
45- proposals to Scala soon!

48+ proposals to Scala soon!

4750Next month, we will propose a reformed SLIP process focused on shaping this new
4851notion of the Scala "platform," with a completely new committee, consisting of
4952Scala community members. Keep an eye out for developments on the Scala library
50- front this August!

5255Did you know that each month, we conduct our SIP meetings on-air? You can tune
5356in and ask questions to the SIP committee, and have them answered live! You can
5457even watch [ past SIP meetings] ( https://plus.google.com/+ScalaProcess ) at any
