I'd love to take part in this if it works out, even if only to learn
about core and stdlib dev practices.
That would be great. I think at least a couple of 'core-folk' are
intending to sprint, so it should happen. I will try and find out.

Should we ask for funding for some food for a core-sprint at EuroPython?

Subject: [Python-Dev] Call for Applications - PSF Sponsored Sprints
Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2010 13:46:33 -0400
From: Jesse Noller <[email protected]>
To: Python-Dev <[email protected]>
[Sending this to Python-Dev, as it might very well be of interest as the sprints
are focused on Python "core" tasks]
The PSF is happy to open our first call for applications for sprint funding!
Have you ever had a group of people together to hack towards a common goal?
You've hosted a sprint!
Have you ever wanted to get a group of like minded Pythonistas together to hack
for a day? You're going to want to hold a sprint!
Whether you call them Sprints, Hackfests, Hack-a-thons, or any other name,
they're a great way to hang out with like-minded developers and work on common
code. Sprints are an unbeatable way to build friendships and contacts that will
last for years to come, and they're a great way to learn about something new if
you're just starting out.
The Python Software Foundation has set aside funds to be distributed to
world-wide sprint efforts. We're anticipating 2-3 events per month focused on
covering topics to help the entire community:
- Python Core bug triage and patch submission (on-boarding new contributors)
- Python Core documentation (including process documentation) improvements
- Porting libraries/applications to Python 3
- Python website/wiki content improvements
- PyPI packaging hosting site improvements
- Contribution to other "core" projects, such as packaging related issues.
If you are interested in holding a sprint on any of the topics above and you're
looking for some money to help out with sprint costs, we can help (up to a max
of $250 USD). Prepare an application including the following information:
- Date and Location: Where will the event be? What day and time?
- Organizers: Who are the event organizers and sprint coach? Is the sprint
being run by a Python user group?
- Attendees: How many participants do you expect?
- Goal: What is the focus and goal of the sprint?
- Budget: How much funding you are requesting, and what will you use it for?
- Applications should be sent to:[email protected] with the subject "Sprint
Funding Application -<location>"
We encourage anyone - even those who have never held, or been to a sprint - to
consider holding one. We will help you as much as we can with welcome packets,
advertising, and hooking you up with required resources - anything to make it
possible.
As part of being approved, the you will need to agree to deliver a report
(hopefully, with pictures!) of the sprint to the Sprint Committee, so we can
post it on the sprint blog and site:
http://www.pythonsprints.com
If you have any questions or need more information, contact us by email at
[email protected].
