[pytest-dev] pytest and Mozilla's Open Source Support program

[Sivan Greenberg]

Hi list,

 I did not see any responses to my last note - I guess everybody are on
vacation? Any new input on that?


 With regards to prospective freelancers to do work, so far we have me and
Florian Schulze. Anybody else interested as well?

 I've mentioned before also that I'd like us to start an internship
initiative, so we can list in GSoC and similar new-comers to coding
communities to expedite the development effort. I'll mail the list
separately.

Thanks,

-Sivan
