Hi pypythonistas,
lucky day!
The EU signed the contract and the PyPy/EU projects starts, umm, started on 1st of December 2004!
This is great news. Congratulations.
This means we have now two years of funding for PyPy to deliver research and implementation results. The funding will go to a number of people (through their
respective organizations) who already are involved in the
project for a long time. But this doesn't mean that there is
not room for new fellow hackers especially with research interests!
After our prototypical work we already completed we can be pretty confident that we can reach the ambitious goals that we promised to the EU. Nevertheless, it will be quite an adventure .. as if it hadn't been one already :-)
My special thanks go to Laura who pushed us initially towards going for the funding and also supports the project in magnificient ways!
Thanks having shown us that those hills can be climbed !
But i think i wasn't wrong either
in July 2003, when i was skeptical with respect to all the formal work and communication implications :-)
I think that the support from the many pythonistas which e.g.
materialized in our EU proposal and in the sprints certainly
contributed a lot to winning the contract!
I am happy that our support helped you.
Many thanks to Guido and Tim, especially! You are welcome any time to join the sprint marathons towards a new Python implementation :-)
thanks & cheers,
holger

Who should we speak to in order to be ready to join one of those sprints if our schedules fit ?
Who should I speak to if we want to organize again a sprint in Belgium (LLN or elsewhere) ? Can you fund part of the hours spent to organize it ?
