+pypy-sync developer meeting 23rd March 2006
+=============================================
+
+
+Attendees:
+ - Anders C.

+ - Richard
+ - Samuele
+
+Summary
+=======
+
+ - activity reports
+
+ See `the log`_ below.
+
+ - status of tokyo sprint
+
+ Samuele reported that the sprint announcement is nearly ready and
+ should go out soon. Planning is hampered by the fact that we don't
+ really know how many Japanese participants there will be there, and
+ it's not even certain how many PyPy-ers will be travelling over.
+ This last bit we can actually do something about, so:
+
+ If you're in `extradoc/sprintinfo/tokyo/people.txt`_, could you
+ please update that file with your real intentions.
+
+ .. _`extradoc/sprintinfo/tokyo/people.txt`: http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/`extradoc/sprintinfo/tokyo/people.txt`
+
+ - goals of the 0.9 release
+
+ We agreed to relase 0.9 fairly soon, probably in the second week of
+ June. The main focus of the release will be "WP07 stuff" in EU
+ jargon, which is to say stackless features (including tasklet
+ pickling), but the release should also include previews of the
+ optimization/JIT/logic work. Sorting out the details of this was
+ delegated to the Leysin sprinters.
+
+ - status and work planning for the next few weeks
+
+ Basically we all know what we're working on at the moment
+ (logic/GC/JIT) and we'll continue to work on these things as much
+ as we're able to (holidays and bureaucracy permitting) until and
+ during Leysin.
+
+ - targetting non-Python conferences
+
+ Fairly recently, we've missed the paper submission deadlines for
+ OOPSLA and OSCON. We need to get a handle on which conferences
+ we're targetting sufficiently far in advance that we actually make
+ these deadlines. The poster deadline for OOPSLA is 30th June, we
+ should try to make that...
+
+ - moderation of the next #pypy-sync meeting
+
+ As I am going to be on holiday, Anders Lehmann will moderate the
+ pypy-sync meeting next week.

+ [16:09] rxe: no :-(
+ [16:10] hpk: then next topic?
+ [16:10] arigo joined the chat room.
+ [16:10] mwh: so i don't see any blockers that can be resolved here
+ [16:11] cfbolz: yes
+ [16:11] cfbolz: hi armin!
+ [16:11] arigo: joined "pypy-snc" by mistake
+ [16:11] mwh: heh
+ [16:11] stakkars: moin
+ [16:11] mwh: first topic is: "status of tokyo sprint"
+ [16:12] hpk: i haven't dealt with this since a number of weeks - do you have news, samuele?
+ [16:12] pedronis: we got the logistic information, and an announcement has been drafted
+ [16:12] mwh: my impression is that things are under control but as i'm not going i haven't really been paying attention
+ [16:12] pedronis: we need to decide what are the technical goals/topics for it
+ [16:12] pedronis: to finish it and send it out
+ [16:12] pedronis: should happen before the weekend
+ [16:13] pedronis: it's of course a bit unclear what to propose
+ [16:13] hpk: any info about the participants (number/likely interests)?
+ [16:13] pedronis: because things are so in flux in general right now
+ [16:13] pedronis: there may be 20 japanese
+ [16:13] hpk: i remember that bea/me tried to extract some information and one feedback was "might be up to 20 people" but it didn't get more concrete i think
+ [16:13] pedronis: form our side it would nice
+ [16:13] pedronis: if people updated people.txt
+ [16:14] pedronis: with their real intententions
+ [16:14] hpk: yip, currently there are 9 people
+ [16:14] pedronis: do know how many of "us" are really going to be there
+ [16:15] arre: Jacob and Laura are not certain they can make it.
+ [16:15] hpk: nikh, aleale, stakkars: you plan to go as listed in the people.txt?
+ [16:15] nikh: yep, i will come
+ [16:15] aleale: yep
+ [16:15] stakkars: It is not clear because something else is going on. I need to add another subtopic, just to increase confusion:
+ [16:16] stakkars: EWT is considering to do a sprint in Iceland, late May. They will sponsor it.!!
+ [16:16] auc: EWT ?
+ [16:16] hpk: stakkars: i think we have lots of topic already, can it wait until next week?
+ [16:16] stakkars: a company which I'm consulting for, interested in PyPy
+ [16:16] CyDefect joined the chat room.
+ [16:17] mwh: yes, this is a very packed meeting
+ [16:17] auc: stakkars: but what EWT does stand for ? (if not indiscrete)
+ [16:17] mwh: stakkars: is this supposed to be public information yet?
+ [16:17] stakkars: hpk: I expected this to come. I only wanted to inject the information now, so people get a picture about the schedule
+ [16:17] CyDefect is now known as Gromit.
+ [16:18] hpk: pedronis: can you trigger bea to re-check with the japanase people and try to get the announcement finished by the weekend?
+ [16:18] mwh: i'd like to move along pretty sharpish, so any concrete things to be done about tokyo ?
+ [16:18] hpk: stakkars: sure, it's great - you can also post it to pypy-dev and we can discuss it there e.g.
+ [16:18] mwh: like hpk just said
+ [16:18] aleale: auc : see http://ewtcareers.com/
+ [16:18] pedronis: hpk: that's the plan, although I think we will get more feedback form japanese side when the announcement is out
+ [16:19] auc: aleale: thanks
+ [16:19] stakkars: mwh: not exactly, they are discussing, it will be organized by STeve Holden, I will talk to him today. I just needed to say this now, just in case it is a bad idea
+ [16:19] mwh: stakkars: ok
+ [16:19] mwh: i won't make a song and dance about it in the minutes then
+ [16:19] mwh: ---------
+ [16:19] mwh: - goals of the 0.9 release
+ [16:19] mwh: i'm guessing this is mostly going to be a stackless/gc/wp07 release
+ [16:20] mwh: maybe logicobjectspace too?
+ [16:20] cfbolz: gc/stackless/wp07: definitively
+ [16:20] auc: mwh: depends on the timeframe
+ [16:20] hpk: also it should include early or progressed optimization works
+ [16:20] mwh: auc: to be released late may/early june
+ [16:20] hpk: like JIT and things on object level (WP06 in EU jargon)
+ [16:20] auc: mwh: that could be ok
+ [16:21] auc: mwh: but not sure about *all* the constraint solving stuff
+ [16:21] cfbolz: of course not
+ [16:21] mwh: auc: sure
+ [16:21] mwh: but some kind of meaningful preview would be cool
+ [16:21] hpk: timeframe is June ... mid June like around 15th?
+ [16:21] mwh: hpk: don't know if the JIT is going to be releasable for this release
+ [16:22] mwh: would be cool if it was, of course
+ [16:22] hpk: mwh: "include early or progressed optimization works" leaves this open
+ [16:22] mwh: hpk: well, yes
+ [16:22] hpk: having some results on the toy language should be feasible
+ [16:23] cfbolz: we should, at least
+ [16:23] mwh: i guess
+ [16:23] cfbolz: next topic?
+ [16:23] mwh: anyway, we don't really have time for that discussion
+ [16:23] mwh: -------------
+ [16:23] mwh: - status and work planning for the next few weeks
+ [16:24] hpk: mwh: we can also delegate
+ [16:24] mwh: hpk: true
+ [16:24] hpk: in this case i'd say we agree on the June timeframe and mabye set the 15th June
+ [16:24] mwh: hpk: do we want to do that?
+ [16:24] hpk: and delegate to the Leysin group to define the scope and contents of the release
+ [16:24] hpk: if everybody is fine with that
+ [16:24] mwh: maybe a little earlier?
+ [16:24] arre: Ok with me.
+ [16:24] mwh: (no real reason)
+ [16:24] pedronis: Ok
+ [16:24] mwh: but fine with the delegation
+ [16:24] stakkars: yup
+ [16:25] hpk: ok, we can still adapt (10th june might be sensible as well)
+ [16:25] mwh: for my part i can pretty accurately estimate how much work i'm going to do between now and leysin: none, as i go on holiday tomorrow
+ [16:25] mwh: (late tomorrow, but...)
+ [16:25] hpk: until leysin i will not be invovled much either except for amendment-4 and some non-core stuff, i am afraid
+ [16:26] mwh: i'm guessing leysin will be jit/gc stuff
+ [16:26] mwh: tasklet pickling?
+ [16:26] cfbolz: yes!
+ [16:26] hpk: mwh: and whatever we determine worthwhile
+ [16:26] mwh: more wp09 stuff
+ [16:26] stakkars: I hope I can make it to Leysin. That's a tough one
+ [16:26] mwh: hpk: well, yes...
+ [16:26] mwh: hpk: it was you that suggested this as a #pypy-sync topic :)
+ [16:27] hpk: yes, what do you imply?
+ [16:28] mwh: just that if you wanted to talk about it here, that you had some thing more to say than "and whatever we determine worthwhile"
+ [16:28] stedi67 joined the chat room.
+ [16:28] mwh: that hardly requires discussion...
+ [16:28] hpk: mwh: that was refering to Leysin
+ [16:28] mwh: no biggie
+ [16:28] mwh: ok
+ [16:28] hpk: and to the JIG/GC mentioning
+ [16:28] mwh: so, last-but-one topic:
+ [16:28] mwh: - targetting non-Python conferences
+ [16:28] mwh: the oopsla deadline just sailed past us
+ [16:29] mwh: how do we stop this happening again?
+ [16:29] hpk: and what non-python conferences are left?
+ [16:29] auc: what about ECOOP ?
+ [16:29] pedronis: well, the idea is still to target the dynamic lang workshop at OOPSLA
+ [16:29] mwh: a good start would be to get conference and deadlines on to the pypy calendar
+ [16:29] pedronis: that has a later and different deadline than the main track
+ [16:29] mwh: but i don't really know when they are
+ [16:30] mwh: pedronis: ah hah
+ [16:30] hpk: arigo, pedronis: i think we once said that you two would keep an eye on those conferences - can you try to list deadlines and identify worthwhile conferences from your perspective?
+ [16:30] cfbolz: pedronis: ah, cool!
+ [16:30] mwh: maybe i should mail pypy-dev and ask for some dates?
+ [16:30] pedronis: most of the conferences had deadlines
+ [16:30] pedronis: at the end of last year
+ [16:30] pedronis: (nov dec)
+ [16:31] mwh: argh
+ [16:31] hpk: ECOOP has passed as well
+ [16:32] hpk: pedronis: should we mail Roel to ask him about worthwhile conferences (explaining that we missed the deadlines nov/dec 2005)?
+ [16:32] mwh: points at the clock
+ [16:33] mwh: who's going to moderate next week?
+ [16:33] hpk: mwh: we started 17:05 or 07 or so
+ [16:33] mwh: hpk: i know
+ [16:33] hpk: will probably (but not certainly) be on travel during that time next week
+ [16:33] pedronis: bah, it seems that for this year dyn lang workshop
+ [16:33] pedronis: they have only invited talks
+ [16:34] cfbolz: pedronis: wasn't that what roel said?
+ [16:34] pedronis: I forgot then
+ [16:34] pedronis: too many things
+ [16:34] cfbolz: yes :-(
+ [16:34] cfbolz: pedronis: I guess we could still talk to him again
+ [16:35] hpk: cfbolz: do you feel like asking him? I can review any mails
+ [16:35] auc: maybe i'm just dense ... i can see submission deadlines for ecoop 2006 workshops around 1st April ... (2006)
+ [16:35] hpk: didn't look at the workshops
+ [16:35] cfbolz: hpk: sorry, not really :-(
+ [16:36] pedronis: for oopsla what's left are posters
+ [16:36] mwh: points at the clock, again
+ [16:36] mwh: we can continue this discussion in #pypy
+ [16:37] hpk: ok
+ [16:37] mwh: who is going to moderate next week?
+ [16:37] auc: http://icooolps.loria.fr/
+ [16:37] mwh: it's not hpk (probably) and it's not me
+ [16:37] auc: http://prog.vub.ac.be/~wdmeuter/RDL06/
+ [16:37] auc: (roel is part of this one)
+ [16:37] aleale: I can do the moderation
+ [16:38] cfbolz: ok, see you all next week then
+ [16:38] hpk: see you
+ [16:38] rxe: Bye!
+ [16:38] mwh: aleale: thank you
+ [16:38] nikh: bye bye
+ [16:38] mwh: meeting over
+ [16:38] mwh: thanks for coming, sorry for the late start (again...)
