PyPy/NumPyPy sprint(s) in Leipzig, Germany?
Hi, I am just wondering if anybody is interested in sprinting on PyPy and in particular NumPyPy in Leipzig sometime in 2012. I can offer working space for up to 12 people with Wi-Fi as well as some basic catering (hot and cold drinks, snacks, pizza etc.) for a few days (up to a week). Accommodation in Leipzig is very reasonably priced. For example, there is a decent hotel very close to the venue for 35 Euros/night (single) or 50 Euros/night (double) including breakfast. Being a logistics center, Leipzig is easy to travel to by car, train or airplane including budget airlines. I would also act as co-sponsor (with the resources stated above) for an application for sprint funds (http://pythonsprints.com/cfa/ or other sources) that could cover (parts) of the traveling and accommodation expenses. Let me know what you think about it. I am open to ideas. Mike

It is indeed a cool idea. I note that you're interested in a sprint on NumPyPy. So I think that Fijal is the best-placed person to suggest a time, maybe next time he's in Europe. I don't think it would make much sense without him, at least. If we can have him, then count me in as well :-) A bientôt, Armin.

Ok. Let's make it the week before EuroPython then. I think the earlier the announcement it out the higher the chance that people can arrange the dates. Let me know how to proceed from here. I will take full charge of the working space and can help in finding affordable places to stay. Furthermore, I can help if you would like to apply for funding at the PSF or other organizations. I am willing to help were I can. Cheers, Mike

Great, thanks! Note however that we should wait until the EuroPython dates are officially announced (I think they're not so far). If they shift by a few days it would be annoying if it ends up conflicting. A bientôt, Armin.

Good point. The dates should be fixed and announced any minute ;): http://mail.python.org/pipermail/europython/2011-December/thread.html#8014 So let's plan to have the sprint dates announced no later than two weeks after the EuroPython dates are written on the EuroPython website. What do you think? Mike

we should also decide whether we want to have a post EP sprint in italy near Genova (possibly again in Pegli, or maybe somewhere else), although there is the risk that having a pre-EP sprint, EP and then another full sprint might become too intensive. What do people think about this?

We can move the date. One week or only a few days? Like 22nd till 27th of June would put four days in between the sprint and EP.
That would work too. Antonio, would such dates let you come to Leipzig for at least most of the sprint, or should we say "too bad" for you? A bientôt, Armin.

Just a note that I'll be in Leipzig up to the 15th of June anyway (giving a Cython course). I don't know if the week after that suits *anyone* (including Mike), but if you could move the sprint another week earlier, I'd arrange to stay for the week-end (16/17th) and we could discuss Cython/PyPy integration topics there.

I'm afraid I can't make it that early :( Since my home base is cape town travelling back and forth for 10 days just does not make any sense. 22-27 (being all full sprint days right? we usually do 3 + 1 + 3 including weekends) sounds very good to me. Cheers, fijal

This week is still available.
I think the one with the longest traveling distance should get the highest priority, which puts 22-27 into the pole positions. Stefan: How about coming to Leipzig again? I know it is about 5 hours by train (much longer than it needs to be :( ). Train tickets get rather inexpensive when booked well ahead and valid for a specific train only. Well, there is still the extra time. You can also fly from Munich. This could be cheaper than the train. To all: I think we can get some funding to cover (parts) of traveling and accommodation costs if your company/institution does not pay. Mike
