+PyPy Sprint in Heidelberg 10th - 16th October 2005 
+==================================================
+
+The next PyPy sprint will take place in Paris at Logilab's office
+in France from the 10th to the 16th of October 2005 (both days included). 
+
+To learn more about the new PyPy Python implementation 
+look here: 
+

+
+
+Goals and topics of the sprint 
+------------------------------
+
+Now that version 0.7 has been released, it is time for refactoring and planning
+of the next features.
+
+For these reasons the main topics of this sprint will be on
+ - threading and GC
+ - refactoring and translation features
+ - discussing about the upcoming JIT, optimizations and stackless features 
+
+
+Location & Accomodation  
+------------------------ 
+
+The sprint will be held in Logilab's offices in Paris. The exact address is
+
+  10 rue Louis Vicat
+  75015 Paris
+
+We'll provide WLAN connection and there is a small kitchen to make tea and coffee.
+`See here`_ for a map of the area nearby.
+
+There are two metro lines and three bus lines that stop close to Logilab's:
+ - Metro line 12 : stop "Porte de Versailles"
+ - Metro line 13 : stop "Malakoff plateau de Vanves"
+ - Bus 89 or 58 : stop "Carrefour Albert Legris"
+ - Bus PC1 : stop "Porte de la Plaine"
+Those are more or less within 5 minutes walk.
+
+There is a huge number of hotels_ in Paris, all of which are
+unfortunately rather expensive. It should be no problem to reach the sprint
+venue from anywhere in Paris using public transportation.
+Other links to _`hotels en France` sites :
+
+However it would be better to find accomodation in the southern districts (14th, 15th)
+or in the nearby towns (Malakoff, Vanves) not far from Paris. Another good choice is
+to find an hotel near one of the metro line above. (avoid long bus trips as it takes
+a long time.)
+Looking at the map here: _hotels, the area you should look at is between (3) and (6),
+(5) is still ok.
+
+
+As an alternative you could also try to group (4 or 5 people) and try to rent
+a furnished appartment for the week.
+
+For transportation we strongly recommend the public transportation (metro and buses).
+There are weekly tickets (monday to sunday) from 15.70 euros (Zone 1-2). You need a
+picture (ID format) and ask for a "Carte Orange".
+Don't get the tourist's cards which are more expensive and valid only for 5 days.

+
+Exact times 
+-----------
+
+The Pypy sprint is held Monday 10th October - Sunday 16th October 2005.
+Hours will be from 09:00 until 20:00 or later. It's a good 
+idea to arrive a day before the sprint starts.
+
+Network, Food
+------------- 
+
+There are plenty of restaurants and sandwich places around and a big supermarket for those
+who would rather make their own food.
+
+You will probably need a wireless network card to access the network but we can provide
+ethernet cables for those who don't have one.
+
+
+Registration etc.pp.

+yourself and post a note that you want to come.
