Proposal for sprint in Tallinn, Estonia
Hi, I am new to PyPy, but very impressed with what you guys have done. Myself I am best known for having been a founding engineer and Chief Technical Architect for Skype. Python is my favourite language, and I want to help PyPy somehow. How about I organise a sprint in Tallinn, Estonia (where I live)? I can hopefully drum up some interest among local developers, perhaps also get some top ex-Skype engineers to join. The requirement to contribute a week full-time is a deterrent for many though, so I am not sure yet how many people I can get. Myself I have no background in interpreters/compilers, but have written code for 32 years, often optimised lowlevel code (assembly, C++). I would need some hand-holding to get started, but I am sure I'd be productive in a day or two. Ahti ahtih on IRC
Hi, as I already said on IRC, I'd be glad to do a sprint in Tallin, as I've already been there and I really liked the city :) On Tue, Nov 26, 2013 at 1:15 PM, Ahti Heinla <ahti@ahti.bluemoon.ee> wrote:

Hi Ahti I'm interested in going if this sprint happens, I'd be able to go after February 2nd (as long as it's not during PyCon). Cheers Romain On 11/26, Ahti Heinla wrote:

Hi, OK, thanks! To make the scheduling easier, I created this Doodle poll. As I understand, the critical thing is that most of the core developers fill out their preferences (or mark all dates as unsuitable, if not interested in the Tallinn sprint at all), since if there are just one or two core developers coming, this is not going to be a successful sprint. http://doodle.com/4uiwehbfed7ryqf8 The sprint lasts for a week. Select the starting dates (Mondays) suitable for you. One of the dates is already in December, and some are very close to the Leysin sprint, but I'm including them just in case.

I checked more carefully my schedule and noticed that I cannot make it in the winter :-( It would work for me only from mid-march. Sorry for the confusion :-(
