===================================================================== PyPy Leysin Winter Sprint (15-22nd January 2012) ===================================================================== The next PyPy sprint will be in Leysin, Switzerland, for the eighth time. This is a fully public sprint: newcomers and topics other than those proposed below are welcome. ------------------------------ Goals and topics of the sprint ------------------------------ * Py3k: work towards supporting Python 3 in PyPy * NumPyPy: work towards supporting the numpy module in PyPy * JIT backends: integrate tests for ARM; look at the PowerPC 64; maybe try again to write an LLVM- or GCC-based one * STM and STM-related topics; or the Concurrent Mark-n-Sweep GC * And as usual, the main side goal is to have fun in winter sports :-) We can take a day off for ski. ----------- Exact times ----------- The work days should be 15-21 January 2011 (Sunday-Saturday). The official plans are for people to arrive on the 14th or the 15th, and to leave on the 22nd. ----------------------- Location & Accomodation ----------------------- Leysin, Switzerland, "same place as before". Let me refresh your memory: both the sprint venue and the lodging will be in a very spacious pair of chalets built specifically for bed & breakfast: http://www.ermina.ch/. The place has a good ADSL Internet connexion with wireless installed. You can of course arrange your own lodging anywhere (as long as you are in Leysin, you cannot be more than a 15 minutes walk away from the sprint venue), but I definitely recommend lodging there too -- you won't find a better view anywhere else (though you probably won't get much worse ones easily, either :-) Please *confirm* that you are coming so that we can adjust the reservations as appropriate. The rate so far has been around 60 CHF a night all included in 2-person rooms, with breakfast. There are larger rooms too (less expensive) and maybe the possibility to get a single room if you really want to. Please register by Mercurial:: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/extradoc/ https://bitbucket.org/pypy/extradoc/raw/extradoc/sprintinfo/leysin-winter-20... or on the pypy-dev mailing list if you do not yet have check-in rights: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev You need a Swiss-to-(insert country here) power adapter. There will be some Swiss-to-EU adapters around -- bring a EU-format power strip if you have one.

I'm trying to see how I can get there, I looked at the trains and it seems that going to Aigle first is the only way to go to Leysin, is that right ?
Yes, Aigle is the downhill station of the Aigle-Leysin "small train" line. A bientôt, Armin.
