Just a short comment to your email Michael (thanks for your thoughts
onj this matter BTW ;-):

One of the current major discussions about how to capitalize
on Open Source as a business model is just that - learning/training.

So I think you are on to something there Michael - both regarding the
technical aspects and the project management/developer process aspects.
Sprinting combines them both ;-)

Hi Bea,

I recently did a "sprint" in the form of
the pyweek game challenge. We hung out in
IRC for most of the week and made a game.
(Or at least a game engine, before we ran
out of time!)

To me it was an exercise in project
management but it was also a recruiting
tool: I wanted to see what it was like to
work with certain people before I spent
the money to actually hire them.

It worked well, and I plan to continue
using that model to screen potential
hires in the future... Maybe a company
with more cash in the bank could use
pypy in a similar way?

Sincerely,

Michal J Wallace
Sabren Enterprises, Inc.

What a great application - do you mind if I spread the word about this..?

Cheers

Bea
