-PyPy/Squeak Sprint in Bern finished
-===================================
-
-The Bern sprint, being the first Squeak-PyPy-collaboration-sprint is finished.
-The week was very intense and productive, see `Bern Sprint Summary blog post`_
-for a list of things we accomplished. We covered most of what happened during
-the sprint in quite some detail on the `PyPy Squeak blog`_.  The sprint was
-hosted by the Software Composition Group of the University of Bern from the
-22nd to the 26th of October 2007.

-PyPy Sprint in Gothenburg: 19nd-25th November 2007
-==================================================================
-
-
-The next post-EU-project PyPy sprint will be in Gothenburg, Sweden. It will
-focus on cleaning up the PyPy codebase and making it ready for the next round
-of improvements. It is a "public" sprint but it will probably be more suitable
-for people already somewhat acquainted with PyPy.  For more information see the
-`Gothenburg sprint announcement`_ or a list of the `people that are known to
-come to Gothenburg`_.

-Review passed with flying colours
-=================================
-
-On the 31st of May 2007 the PyPy project was reviewed by the EU
-Commission in Brussels. Reviewers were Roel Wuyts, Unversit&#233; Libre de
-Bruxelles and Aki Lumiaho, Ramboll, Finland. Present was also our
-Project Officer, Charles McMillan. After 6 hours of presentations of
-the various aspects of the project, it only took the reviewers a few
-minutes to decide that the project was accepted, without any further
-work being required. Professor Wuyts, who has dynamic programming
-languages as his main field of research was very enthusiastic about
-the entire project and the results with the Just In Time Compiler
-Generator in particular. He offered his help in establishing
-collaborations with the communities around Prolog, Smalltalk, Lisp and
-other dynamic languages, as well as giving hints on how to get our
-results most widely publicized.
-
-The preparations for the review left the team rather exhausted so
-development progress will be rather slow until the sprint at
-Europython in the second week of July.

-PyPy EU funding period over, Review ahead 
-===========================================================
-
-The 28 month EU project period of PyPy is over and new things are to come!  
-On 11th May we `submitted last documents`_ to the European Union and are now 
-heading towards a 31st May Review Meeting in Bruxelles.  The `PyPy EU Final
-Activity Report`_ summarizes what we did and what we have in mind
-on technical, scientific and community levels.  It also contains reflections 
-and recommendations possibly interesting to other projects aiming at 
-EU funded Open Source research. *(12th May, 2007)*

-The sprint also had a good discussion about the future of PyPy after the EU
-project ends, see the `mail Armin wrote`_ and `the meeting's minutes`_. You can

-Dynamic Languages Symposium (OOPSLA, 23rd October)
-==================================================================
-
-We will present a paper at the `Dynamic Languages Symposium`_ describing
-`PyPy's approach to virtual machine construction`_.  The DLS is a
-one-day forum within OOPSLA'06 (Portland, Oregon, USA).  The paper is a
-motivated overview of the annotation/rtyping translation tool-chain,
-with experimental results.
-
-As usual, terminology with PyPy is delicate :-)  Indeed, the title is
-both correct and misleading - it does not describe "the" PyPy virtual
-machine, since we have never hand-written one.  This paper focuses on
-how we are generating such VMs, not what they do.

-Summer of PyPy: Calls for proposals open now! 
-==================================================================
-
-Happily, we are able to offer students mentoring and full sprint
-participant's funding if we receive a proposal outlining an
-interesting project related to PyPy and its development tools.  This
-follows up on the "Summer of Code" campaign from Google but is
-completely independent from it and also works differently.

-Ireland sprint 21st-27th August 
-==================================================================
-
-The last PyPy sprint happened in the nice city of 
-Limerick in Ireland from 21st till 27th August.  
-The main focus of the sprint was on JIT compiler works, 
-various optimization works, porting extension modules, 
-infrastructure works like a build tool for PyPy and
-extended (distributed) testing. 
-Read the full `announcement`_ for more details.

-PyPy and Summer of Code 2006
-==================================================================
-
-PyPy will again mentor students through Google's `Summer of Code`_
-campaign. Three students will kick-off their work on PyPy by
-participating in the Duesseldorf sprint. They will be exploring a
-back-end for Microsoft.NET, work on ways to build web applications
-with Javascript code (in this case by translating RPython to
-Javascript) and porting some CPython modules to use ctypes. Welcome to
-the team!
