Hi Peter,
Sorry about not getting back to you earlier; I'm the org admin for the
PSF for the first time this year, and in case that wasn't enough, we've
grown considerably and I've got a huge amount of email. Thanks for
pinging me off-list to let me know I missed this one once you figured
out i was the one who needed to see it.
The short answer is just "+1" (Which, if you're not used to this
particular terminology, means "that's a good idea; go ahead and do it")
So yeah, go ahead and get a VM set up; you don't need to ask.
You'll probably want to follow the mailman install instructions here:
http://pythonhosted.org/mailman/
Chris, who was working on such a thing before, seems to have gotten
stuck somewhere. You might want to ping him to see if the two of you
can work together to sort out any problems (I'm cc'ing him so he sees
this mail) or if he can offer any advice. You might also want to do a
quick search through the archives to see what we told him when he asked
about setting things up. You probably also want to talk to other
incoming students who've already set up their dev environment since
they'll have any issues they encountered fresh in their minds!
If you're looking for some help via IRC, most of our mentors and a
decent number of students are on IRC when they have some time. I think
wacky is our most stalwart IRC'er, so you may want to ping him if you're
having trouble getting someone's attention. Many of us are are on IRC
while busy doing other things, so if you want someone's attention the
best way is to say their irc nick name in channel: most IRC clients are
set up to help bring anything directed at us to our attention.
When you get to the point of a final working VM, either post a link here
& to the wiki, or if you need hosting, ask on the mailing list. I know
I have access to some machines that can do it, but I'm sure I'm not the
only one.
FYI: I've got a friend flying in for a visit tonight, so I'm pretty
much going to be offline as much as possible for a couple of days, but
hopefully that should get you pointers to other people who be more
available to help this weekend.

Hello again community.
Two days ago I made a sort introduction of my self and stated that I'm
interested in implementing the "Web Posting Interface" project(through this
e-mail -
http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/msg13451.html).
In order to getting started with Mailman development I went through the
equivalent quote(here -
http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Google+Summer+of+Code+2013).
Since I'm able to consume the services described here :
https://okeanos.grnet.gr/services/cyclades/ , I would like to setup a VM
and also make it available for future developers.
If you're interested in this, poke me to arrange a meeting in IRC and
discuss any further details.
Best regards,
Peter Markou.
