== Goals and Suggested Sprint Areas ==
The primary focus will be on getting new features into 3.0 before the first alpha. We hope to have a solid, stable and reasonably complete 3.0a1. You can make this happen and have fun doing it! Come join us.
'''Tasks''' are now written up in an online spreadsheet:

== Food ==
We'll be providing lunch and dinner to our attendees and breakfast will be available from the micro-kitchens. Our guests will dine with us in our cafes for their meals.
== Housing - MTV ==
You can book a room at The Residence Inn Palo Alto/Mountain View; ask for Google's corporate rate. If you're looking to save funds, you might consider booking a penthouse room at the property and doubling up with another attendee.

== Come Prepared! ==
Please come prepared so we won't have to waste time helping everybody with their setup. Bring a laptop (preferably running Linux or OSX; we have limited svn setup experience for other systems, esp. Windows). Make sure svn is installed: http://subversion.tigris.org/ -- Check [[http://prolificprogrammer.com/~hdiwan/blog/2006/08/02/home_subversion_repository_1.html|Hasans Blog Entry on subversion ]] for help with other systems.
For Python 2.6, check out the head branch; see http://www.python.org/dev/faq/#subversion-svn (use the instructions for anonymous checkout unless you already have developer privileges).
For py3k, check out the "py3k" branch. Also read PEPs 3000-3999.
In either case, make sure you have at least built and tested it once so you are familiar with the process. It's something like "./configure; make; make test" in the appropriate directory. (For Py3k, half a dozen tests typically fail -- a goal of the sprint will be to fix these.)
=== Questions ===
Are you guys on IRC, Google Talk, or something like that? Answer: no IRC AFAIK; some individuals can be IM'ed in gmail chat, e.g. gvanrossum@gmail.com, nnorwitz@gmail.com.
Various [[http://freenode.net/|Freenode IRC]] channels appear to be unused: #py3k, #pysprint, #sprynt, etc.. I could register one if there was interest, but it's not strictly required. --pfein on irc://irc.freenode.net
I suspect #python-dev would be sufficient. -- SkipMontanaro
Chicago folks can check out #py3kchicago on Freenode. -- Paul Smith
