Hello PyPy Developer Team
Hello everybody, My name is Samuel Reis and I'm a 17-year-old student from Hanover, Germany. First of all, I'm very sorry for my English. It's not that I think I write English _that_ worse, but I don't know what kind of impression I make with that. Anyway ... I found this project a few months ago while I was looking for alternative python interpreters. Since then I found it really interested reading blog posts, sprint reports, etc. and watching this project's progress. Meanwhile it has to be the whole site that I already read, I think ;). I would call myself a (not so advanced) advanced programmer :) in C, as I do that since a few years (besides some ugly BASIC-Dialects - not that C is beautiful since I met python). Not to forget obj-orientated PHP, which was my entry point to scripting languages and still is the majority of code I write - both private and at work. To the Python language I'm a freshman (a few months, as said), but although I have to look up 60-70% of the functions in the manual, I know and understand the python language structure very well. The concept of defining python in python itself fascinates me, and also how this concept developed and now involves the possibility to create interpreter code for (in theory) every computer language/environment (if I understood that right). Contributing to this project would make me very happy, so I would be glad if there were some/more minor things to do for me as a beginner. Oh, yeah, and not to forget: I've created a small piece of artwork related to pypy. I don't know if it has any use for you, but just for the sharings sake, I'll share it with you. http://samuelreis.de/artwork/pypy/pypy_fin.jpg http://samuelreis.de/artwork/pypy/pypy_fin.svg The logo art is inspired of an ancient symbol called "Ouroboros", "depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle." (en.wikipedia.org) I think this nicely symbolizes the recursivity of writing a python interpreter in python itself. This is licensed under the CC BY-SA Germany license.

Hi Samuel, This is just a quick answer to let you know that we are actually sprinting in Düsseldorf for one week, since this Friday (6-13 Nov). As it is not that far from Hanover, maybe you are interested in joining us? Even if it's just one day or just the weekend, you are welcome to. A bientot, Armin

Hello Armin, Sounds good, but unfortunately I'm extremely busy on both weekends. But of course I'll look forward to join you on future sprints, if held in the north of germany, because I'll have to see how to self-finance travelling and accommodation. Regards - Samuel

Hi samuel. Actually, I wanted to use your artwork, but unfortunately links are gone and I don't have copies :-( Can you provide them again? Cheers, fijal
Yeesh, helps if I sent this to the pypy list instead of just replying to the person above. Why are the headers broken on the list? On Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 4:46 PM, Maciej Fijalkowski <fijall@gmail.com> wrote:

And unfortunately he setup his robots.txt exclusion to prevent archive.org and google from copying/cache'ing the images so they really are gone from the world unless reposted.

Hi fijal, I'm sorry for replying so late to you, but I was not at home on the weekend. Links are here: http://maddog22.de/samuelreis_old/artwork/pypy/pypy_fin.jpg http://maddog22.de/samuelreis_old/artwork/pypy/pypy_fin.svg Samuel
Thanks! Btw - friend of mine suggests that logo should focus rather on speed than on looping ;-) Cheers, fijal On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 5:01 PM, Samuel Reis <con@samuelreis.de> wrote:

Hi fijal, maybe I can add some "speed" to it .. I'll see what I can do. Do you have any concrete plans where you want to use the logo? It would be nice to know where it is used. Regards -- Samuel Am 07.12.2009 um 17:07 schrieb Maciej Fijalkowski:

Hi Samuel, I didn't saw your mail last month. I'm at the moment in copenhagen but my home town is also hanover. There is a small group of people who are meeting every month to talk mainly about ruby. But we are all also interested in programming languages such as python. So if you like you can join us at the 14.12.2009 (http://wiki.ruby-portal.de/RUUH). I'm quite new to pypy, but I'm playing with the idea to write a small (means reduced) rb implementation in it just for fun. If you like to join one of the coming pypy sprints, maybe we can also find a way to travel together to reduce the financial issue. best regards daniel
