[pypy-dev] PyPy Warsaw Sprint (October 21-25th, 2014)

[Armin Rigo]

Hi all,

Here's the announcement (below) for the next PyPy sprint, in one
month's time in Warsaw.  It will take place just after the Polish
PyCon Pl'14 conference, which is also in Poland, although not in
Warsaw.  See http://pl.pycon.org/2014/en/ in case you're interested.
(There is of course no need to attend one in order to attend the
other.)

=====================================================================
         PyPy Warsaw Sprint (October 21-25th, 2014)
=====================================================================

The next PyPy sprint will be in Warsaw, Poland for the first
time. This is a fully public sprint. PyPy sprints are a very good way
to get into PyPy development and no prior PyPy knowledge is necessary.


------------------------------
Goals and topics of the sprint
------------------------------

For newcomers:

* Bring your application or library and we'll help you port it to PyPy
  (if needed), benchmark and profile.

* The easiest way to start hacking on PyPy is to write support for
  some missing Python 3.3 functionality, or to work on numpy.

We'll also work on more specific topics, depending on who is here
and what their interest is, like some missing GC/JIT optimizations,
software transactional memory, etc.


-----------
Exact times
-----------

The work days should be October 21st - 25th, 2014.  There might be
a day or an afternoon of break in the middle.  We'll typically start
at 10:00 in the morning.


------------
Location
------------

The sprint will happen within a room of Warsaw University.  The
address is Pasteura 5 (which is a form of "Pasteur street"), dept. of
Physics, room 450.  The person of contact is Maciej Fijalkowski.
