Absolutely! It looks like exactly the kind of thing that they are
looking to support.
I've just checked on #python-dev and at a *minimum* we have four
core-devs staying for sprints. I'll email the sprints thingy and see
if we can get beer / pizza money... :-)
Application duly sent.

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

Subject: [Python-Dev] Call for Applications - PSF Sponsored Sprints
Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2010 13:46:33 -0400
From: Jesse Noller<jnol...@gmail.com>
To: Python-Dev<python-...@python.org>
[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: spri...@python.org 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
spri...@python.org.
