*********************************************** *** *** *** S t a c k l e s s S p r i n t *** *** *** *********************************************** Dear Stackless Friends and Python developers, we are planning a sprint on developing and learning Stackless Python. It will be located in Berlin, happening probably somewhere in March 2004. Duration is not settled, maybe little more than a weekend, maybe more, this depends on what you like. Contents? Well, there is a lot possible. Current topics which come into mind are * autoscheduling * scheduling object * brain storming! * Zope Wiki and Documentation * making channels really stackless * find the Bajo bug if I still can't? * demo applications * more regression tests * real zope apps? * minimalist Stackless Python with no hardware dependency * assembly-free Stackless with setjmp/longjmp * spreading the internals between developers but this is completely open for discussion. Level? Well, it will be a bit simpler than the pypy-sprints, which I think are very difficult, but Stackless has its built-in difficulties by nature. Usability? This is by far, now and forever, the best possible way to learn about Stackless Python and to become a core developer. But no guarantee possible :-) Fun? Guaranteed. Please contact me. cheers - chris -- Christian Tismer :^) <mailto:tismer@stackless.com> Mission Impossible 5oftware : Have a break!
