SeaPIG (the Seattle Python Interest Group) is excited to announce the
NORTHWEST PYTHON SPRINT #2 October 23-24, 2004 Bellevue, Washington, USA http://seapig.org/NorthwestPythonSprint
The cost is FREE, thanks to our host Construx Software. There will be a large, comfortable room seating 50+ people at tables, wireless and wired Internet access, and a projector for demonstrations. We have the room reserved for Saturday and Sunday, but feel free to drop in whenever you can make it.
Kevin Altis will be giving a short intro to PythonCard (http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/) and coaching a sprint.
From his blog:
I'll be giving a presentation on PythonCard Saturday morning as well as helping people work on their own PythonCard projects, fix bugs, and make additions to the framework and tools. Which projects we tackle will depend on how many people show up and what interests them the most. (http://altis.pycs.net/2004/09/30.html)
We have plenty of space, so feel free to sign up to coach other projects or just bring your own and look for a partner.
What is a sprint? A sprint is a group of people who gather for a day or more to work on a common software project. The members choose individual tasks and usually work solo or in pairs in the same room, then get together periodically to compare notes. We'll follow the model that has worked successfully at the past several Python conferences: several groups working on different projects in the same room. Past sprints have done development work on the Python core, Twisted, Docutils, Webware, Zope, Chandler, etc. Most projects have a variety of tasks that need to be done -- coding modules, designing test suites, squashing bugs, writing user documentation and developer documentation, brainstorming design strategies, planning promotional activities, etc -- so there's something for every skill level. You'll need to bring a laptop, or if you don't have one you can pair with somebody who does.
If you'd like to coach a sprint, sign up to attend, propose a lightning talk or demonstration, or just get more information, see our wiki page:

Take care, -Brian
PS - apologies to PORPIG and VANPYZ for this being the first announcement, I wasn't able to get subscribed to either list a few weeks ago. :(
