Hi Florian & List If help is needed in taking care of filling the forms and submitting this with instructions from project leads, I would be interested. Even though I did not manage to attend the sprint, I remained excited in furthering pytest's goals and the surrounding 'ecosystem' (e.g. tox and friends).
Since I'm now free of my last project, I'd love to help the coding as well, if project lead think I can be of that help. Ideally I feel that we should start attracting student or fresh graduates as 'interns' and enlarge the contributors list. P.S. Has anybody documented the sprint in a free form documentation or were they only closed bugs in the issue tracker and new commits made? :) I would love to read some summary of the sprint achievements and it's story as I really feel I missed. Do we have the similar to peps? Thanks!
