This is a fully public sprint: newcomers and topics other than +those proposed below are welcome. + +(Note: this sprint is independent from the suggested April-May sprint in +Poland.) + + +------------------------------ +Goals and topics of the sprint +------------------------------ + +The list of topics is open, but here is our current list: + +- cffi tutorial/overview rewrite +- py3 test runners are too complicated +- make win32 builds green +- make packaging more like cpython/portable builds +- get CI builders for PyPy into mainstream projects (Numpy, Scipy, lxml, uwsgi) +- get more of scientific stack working (tensorflow?) +- cpyext performance improvements +- General 3.5 and 3.6 improvements +- JIT topics: guard-compatible, and the subsequent research project to save and reuse traces across processes +- finish unicode-utf8 +- update www.pypy.org, speed.pypy.org (web devs needed) + +As usual, the main side goal is to have fun in winter sports :-) +We can take a day off (for ski or anything else). + +----------- +Exact times +----------- + +Work days: starting March 18th (~noon), ending March 24th (~noon). + +I have pre-booked the week from Saturday March 17th to Saturday March +24th. If it is possible for you to arrive Sunday before mid-afternoon, +then you can get a booking from Sunday only. The break day should be +around Wednesday. + +It is fine to stay a few more days on either side, or conversely to book +for a part of that time only. + +----------------------- +Location & Accomodation +----------------------- + +Leysin, Switzerland, "same place as before". Let me refresh your +memory: both the sprint venue and the lodging will be in a pair of +chalets built specifically for bed & breakfast: http://www.ermina.ch/. +You can also arrange your own lodging elsewhere (as long as you are in +Leysin, you cannot be more than a 15 minutes walk away from the sprint +venue). + +Please *confirm* that you are coming so that we can adjust the +reservations as appropriate. + +The options of rooms are a bit more limited than on previous years +because the place for bed-and-breakfast is shrinking; but we should +still have enough room for us. The price is around 60 CHF, breakfast +included, in shared rooms (3 or 4 people). If there are people that +would prefer a double or single room, please contact me and we'll see +what choices you have. There is a choice of hotels in Leysin, starting +at 65 CHF the room. + +Please register by Mercurial:: + + https://bitbucket.org/pypy/extradoc/ + https://bitbucket.org/pypy/extradoc/raw/extradoc/sprintinfo/leysin-winter-2018/ + +or on the pypy-dev mailing list if you do not yet have check-in rights: + + http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev + +You need a Swiss-to-(insert country here) power adapter. There will be +some Swiss-to-EU adapters around, and at least one EU-format power strip. _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
