Hello,

I'd like to volunteer for that part given the fact that I am currently working on the patches for the mirroring thing in a branch of PyPI.

The work is described here : http://wiki.python.org/moin/PEP%20374 It changed a bit and I need to update it, but you get the idea there.

For the record, when working on a PEP draft on the Wiki or Google docs, it's worth asking the PEP editors (or any of the SVN committers really) to reserve a PEP number once things start to progress to the point where folks need a common shorthand reference to the document.

PEP 374 for example, is already a placeholder for the SVN to DVCS migration PEP: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0374/

Right, I'll ask for a number and change it accordingly; Regards Tarek

14:00 - 15:30 =============

Two tracks:

Cross-implementation issues:

What do the various VMs want/need from CPython to help with their implementations?

* Marking CPython-specific tests in the test suite? * Getting an implementation agnostic test suite for the Python language? * Separating the language tests and the pure Python part of the stdlib into a separate project? (Or publish them as a separate package.) * Transition plans for 3.0?

Champion needed. I would like to champion this one.

I told AMK this a while back, but might as well make it more public; I am up for chairing as well. -Brett

Are you saying you've already called the cross-implementation champion role?

No, I am saying I had told AMK I was interested in championing the session. He chose you, and that's that. One less thing for me to worry about. =)

If so I'm happy to defer or co-chair.

Your call. I will definitely be there representing CPython as best as I can, so I will be making noise regardless of whether I am standing in front of the room or not. -Brett

Brett, I actually think you'd be a good champion for the 11AM transition-planning session.

OK, so I guess I do have one more thing to worry about. =) I'd be happy to do that session.

As a reminder, the topics came up with were:

Transition plan for rest of 2.x series; goals for 2.7/3.1. - New features & future plans? - Is 2.7 last of the 2.x releases? - Unicode issues - Stdlib plans?

Probably the last two will be wishy-washy in terms of whether they will be reached. -Brett

Thanks! You're now listed as the champion for it. --amk
