I don't have too much to say here, but I'm very interested in a Jython track.
I'm hoping that the existence of this page will attract enough attention,
interest, and organizational aupport that we can make Jython an important
part of PyCon DC 2003. In fact, if the conference had a Jython track, I would
be more likely to attend. (I even submitted an abstract for a talk about
introducing Jython for a Java development shop.) My main job involves Java
development, and I haven't done too much with Jython. What I've seen has
impressed me with its potential, and I can't believe Jython hasn't become
Python's "killer app" that spreads the language to the large existing base of
Java developers.
Hm...judging by the PyConSchedule, there won't be much Jython discussion in the
official talks. Perhaps we can organize some BoFs or OpenSpace discussions at
the conference.

So, anyone else up for a Jython track? What topics interest you? Start a list! == Jython topics ==

Sad, no one has responded since I created the page on Dec. 19. I guess I'll start.

== Show of interest ==

Maybe we just don't have sufficient interest for a whole Jython track. Please add
your name to the list so that we can judge the level of interest.

 * I'm interested in the Jython track. -TAB

== Jython track topics ==

Add your own ideas. Put your name down by a topic if you've actually sent in a
submission on one of these topics to the committee.

 * Intro to Jython
 * Introducing Jython to a Java development team. (submitted -TAB)
 * Intro to Jython (I have an outline for this topic. -TAB)
 * Introducing Jython to a Java development team.

== Jython specific sprint ideas == We did end up having a Jython BOF on Friday, March 28, at 9 a.m. It was attended by
about a dozen people (add your name if you feel like it). Since the theme of the
conference was "Popularizing Python," much of the discussion centered around how Jython
is used and how that could help popularize Python. We have started a CategoryJython
page on this wiki to help track issues related to Jython.

 * Attacking some "Jython should be fixed" items on [http://www.jython.org/docs/differences.html Jython page] (may be mixed Java and Python development)
 * Tinkering with the Jython interpreter (would be mostly Java development)

Jython BOF

We did end up having a Jython BOF on Friday, March 28, at 9 a.m. It was attended by about a dozen people (add your name if you feel like it). Since the theme of the conference was "Popularizing Python," much of the discussion centered around how Jython is used and how that could help popularize Python. We have started a CategoryJython page on this wiki to help track issues related to Jython.
