All, Hi everyone, I'm Paul deGrandis, and I just joined the list. I plan on actively developing on the project and helping out anyway I can. Let me tell you a little about myself: I'm twenty years old and currently working my way through BS/MS dual degree in Software Engineering at Drexel University. I'm also a reasearcher and developer on the DARPA SAPIENT project. I have worked on numerous other open source project, but took a short break from FOSS software while I focused more on school and work. I'm ready to start working on another project now and am extremely excited about PyPy. If you would like to see an updated resume or anything, ask, I'll be happy to send one. I plan on working on some of the issues reported on the Issues section, but if anyone on the development team wants me to work on something specific, please email me. I can't wait to get working! Regards, Paul __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Welcome to the wonderful world of PyPy ;-) Your contribution and interest is most welcome!

No need - but please tell us a bit more about your Python experience and also if there is anything specific aspect of the PyPy challenges you are extra interested in. The project you mentioned looked very interesting! Any technical challenges from that one that you think PyPy can benefit from?
I plan on working on some of the issues reported on the Issues section, but if anyone on the development team wants me to work on something specific, please email me.
Please read through the documentation - hopefully that will make your start easier, also see the svn section. Holger will get your commitrights up and running soon I hope. We are a bit focused on the upcoming sprint in Paris. We will try to answer questions here or on #pypy-dev (or #pypy) on irc.freenode.net during the sprint but things might get hectic during the next week. We might not be very active on our regular communication channels - but we are excused because of the huge increase of commits ;-)
I can't wait to get working!
Regards, Paul
Well - we are not a team to say no to such motivated help ;-) Cheers Beatrice Düring - the non techie management stuff woman ;-)

Thanks for the welcome. Due to the nature of the DARPA project, I can't tell you too much about it, but I did design my own Python compiler, with multiple backends. It only supported basic features. Also, myself and one other worker use python extensively for the system we're designing. The whole goal of PyPy fascinates me and I'll work where I'm needed: improved VM, translator, some sort of constant language optimizer, backends, documentation, language implementation.... anything. I have to say, the news about the JS background is awesome. The possibilities are endless. I had a roommate for a little while who used Windows and had an "Active desktop." It allowed him to embed JS apps on his desktop. With the JS backend, you could code an interactive desktop background for windows, all in Python. I know some Linux desktops also support native JS on the desktop too. I'll start going to IRC more often and getting more involved in current efforts and current issues. Thanks for the warm welcoming. [input] [input] __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
