+PyPy training session
+=====================
+
+Part 1 (2 hours): Run your application under PyPy
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+- how to use pypy to run your app (easy: s/python/pypy :-))
+
+- how to optimize it for the pypy jit:
+
+      * general idea about how the jit works
+
+      * looking at the traces
+
+      * using the jitviewer
+
+      * tweaking jit and gc params
+
+- how to compile C extensions for pypy, and fix them if necessary
+
+
+Part 2 (2 hours): Write your own interpreter with PyPy
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+- give the students the source code of a toy language interpreter of written
+  in RPython
+
+- teach them how to translate it
+
+- teach them about the JIT hints
+
+- challenge: place hints (or maybe even refactor the interpreter) to get the
+  best results with the JIT
+
+- do we still have a PyPy T-shirt to give as a prize to the winner? :)
