Upcoming Iceland sprint: 21-28 May
Hi folks, We're pleased to announce the next PyPy sprint in Iceland from 21st (arrival) to 28th (depature) of May 2006. This sprint is kindly hosted and sponsored by EWT and CCPgames and thus we should be able to arrange funding for travels and accomodation for interested people. There are also non-PyPy activities going on -- see the full `EWT announcement`_ and people such as Tim Peters and other python-dev core developers plan to attend. If you'd like to help and join PyPy hacking around some geysers (actually we are meeting in Reykjavik, but well :), please mail us, preferrably on the `pypy-sprint mailing list`_. Please state your interest *until end this week* (friday 21st) to help the organizers plan for the sprint. The sprint goals for PyPy are, as usual, kept open to the interest of the participants, especially more so that there will be many non-PyPy people at the sprint to talk to. However, it is also likely that we will have to keep some focus on the goals of the upcoming June 0.9 release: * The extension module compiler. The goal is to be able to use a single RPython source code as an extension module for both PyPy and CPython. The means to get there is -- most likely -- by compiling ctypes-based modules into either pypy-c or a CPython dll/so. * Write some more modules in this style with ctypes. Sockets come to mind :-) * Stackless: the big missing feature is pickling running tasklets. There is also some smaller work that needs to be done, like exposing all the existing RPython-level interfaces to app-level (e.g. greenlets). * Write more documentation. * Misc topics, depending on interests: back-ends (CLI, Squeak), testing framework, modified semantics (security/sandboxing...), etc. A bientot, Armin + Holger .. _`EWT announcement`: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2006-April/004849.html .. _`pypy-sprint mailing list`: http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-sprint

Like Antonio I'd really like taking part of this sprint. Unlike him I've never contributed to pypy project. I'm a CS student here in Italy. I'd like to bring further the development of extension modules of PyPy (if my friend Valentino doesn't complete the task in Japan :) ) and I find the Antonio's work very interesting. Unfortunately I can't afford the trip so there are any chances about being funded? ciao :) -- Lawrence http://www.oluyede.org/blog
