Like Antonio I'd really like taking part of this sprint. Unlike him I've never contributed to pypy project. I'm a CS student here in Italy. I'd like to bring further the development of extension modules of PyPy (if my friend Valentino doesn't complete the task in Japan :) ) and I find the Antonio's work very interesting. Unfortunately I can't afford the trip so there are any chances about being funded? ciao :) -- Lawrence http://www.oluyede.org/blog
