| Given the recent spate of successful [:SprintIntroduction: sprints], Google decided it would be a good idea to host a sprint. We've been talking about it since PyCon. Jeremy finally got the ball rolling. | = Google Python Sprint 2007 = |
| Line 3: | Line 3: |
| We plan to hold the sprint Aug 21-24, 2006. This date should be after 2.5 is released (early August). There will be 2 locations: Google's New York City office (NYC), and Google's Mountain View, California office (MTV). Google's Open Source Program Office is doing much of the internal coordination with Jeremy Hylton and Neal Norwitz handling more of the technical side. We hope many Googlers and non-Googlers will participate. Please add your name below if you are interested. | '''Tasks spreadsheet: http://tinyurl.com/ywbwse''' (to edit, first use the invitation once, with your Google Account: http://tinyurl.com/ytxxqu) |
| Line 5: | Line 5: |
| The goals of the sprint have not yet been defined. We should try to fix any serious 2.5 bugs as well as cleanup the code to prepare for 2.6. Let us know if you have any questions. | ''If you plan or hope to attend, please sign up below so we can have your badge ready at the lobby. (Googlers: please sign up so we can plan the space accordingly.)'' |

| Adding a possible goal: Those who have seen the [http://mrtopf.tv/vlog/ Alan Kay keynote] at [www.europython.org EuroPython 2006 @ CERN] have heard his call for Python help to the [http://laptop.org/ OLPC project]. I think this sprint could form a starting point. Those help would also lead to a very big improvement for Browser based computing, in that way giving back to the sprint sponsor. | * When: August 22-25, 9:30 am - 5:30pm local time * Where: * Mountain View Google Campus - University Theater Bldg 40 * Chicago Google Engineering office * (Sorry, no Kirkland or New York sprints this year.) For more information on the Chicago sprint, see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/chicago/2007-August/002401.html == Goals and Suggested Sprint Areas == The primary focus will be on getting new features into 3.0 before the first alpha.
