I am not sure how this impacts the sprint date, but it looks like the
EU review for PyPy in Brussels may not be January. If there is
interest, the DFKI in Saarbrücken could host an event - either a
general PyPy sprint, or one just based around search and constraints
in Python. I would do my best to see if there is any interest within
Gert Smolka's Oz/Mozart/Alice group here in Saarbrücken, or from Denys
Duchier[1] down the road in Nancy.
