[pypy-dev] europython sprints/upcoming activities

[holger krekel]

Hi, 

i have been asked by Erik to post some preliminary information
on the upcoming EuroPython sprint(s).   I guess we'll make some 
more complete announcement soon but meanwhile here is some brief
information on upcoming activities in the next two months: 

- 15th-20th May IRC-coordinated session ending in a first 
  PyPy release (targeting the goal of having an interpreter
  that passes 90% of CPython's core language tests but still
  runs on top of CPython). 

- 23rd-26th June: Pre-EuroPython sprint for people who
  already attended sprints previously (IOW this is not the
  best time for newcomers to join) 

- 27th-29th June: EuroPython! 

- 30th June: a day of break (really)

- 1st-7th July: Post-EuroPython sprint open for 
  anyone interested in PyPy development. It's likely
  there will be a strong focus on translation and
  low level backends.  

- 8th July: PyPy/EU-Project evaluation workshop  

The phyiscal meetings will all take place in Goetheborg
(Sweden) where this year's EuroPython happens.  Sprint 
locations, meeting points etc.pp. are to be announced soon. 

cheers, 

    holger
