======================================================== Vilnius/Post EuroPython PyPy Sprint 10-12th of July ======================================================== The PyPy team is sprinting at EuroPython again and we invite you to participate in our 3 day long sprint at the conference hotel - Reval Hotel Lietuva. If you plan to attend the sprint we recommend you to listen to the PyPy technical talks (`EuroPython schedule`_) during the conference since it will give you a good overview of the status of development. On the morning of the first sprint day (10th) we will also have a tutorial session for those new to PyPy development. As 3 days is relatively short for a PyPy sprint we suggest to travel back home on the 13th if possible (but it is ok to attend less than 3 days too). ------------------------------ Goals and topics of the sprint ------------------------------ There are many possible and interesting sprint topics to work on - here we list some possible task areas: * try out Python programs and fix them or fix PyPy or fix performance bottlenecks * some JIT improvement work * port the stackless transform to ootypesystem * other interesting stuff that you would like to work on ...;-) ------------ Registration ------------ If you'd like to come, please subscribe to the `pypy-sprint mailing list`_ and drop a note about your interests and post any questions. More organisational information will be sent to that list.
