===================================================================== PyPy Leysin Winter Sprint (17th - 24th March 2018) =====================================================================
The next PyPy sprint will be in Leysin, Switzerland, for the thirteenth time. 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.

There will be some Swiss-to-EU adapters around, and at least one EU-format power strip. _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
