Hopefully by now you have heard of the "Summer of PyPy", our program for funding the expenses of attending a sprint for students. If not, you've just read the essence of the idea :-) However, the PyPy EU funding period is drawing to an end and there is now only one sprint left where we can sponsor the travel costs of interested students within our program. This sprint will probably take place in Leysin, Switzerland from 8th-14th of January 2007. So, as explained in more detail at: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/summer-of-pypy.html we would encourage any interested students to submit a proposal in the next month or so. If you're stuck for ideas, you can find some at http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/project-ideas.html but please do not feel limited in any way by this list! Cheers, mwh ... and the PyPy team -- <shawn> the highest calling of technical book writers is to destroy the sun -- from Twisted.Quotes
