Hi there

We have rescheduled a bit of the sprint that concerns the tutorial, this 
because of our Irish friends (Michael Twomey, Rory McCann) that have 
announced interest in participating will be arriving on Friday.

So - here is a suggested sprint structure:

Monday:
10:00			Set up, network, coffe - warming up
11:00			Start up planning session - then hack away
13:30-15:00		Lunch
15:00----		Hack away

Tuesday-Wednesday	10:30 Status meeting - then hack away

Thursday		Break day

Friday			10:30 Status meeting - then hack away
			17:00 Tutorial and QA session
			20:00 Dinner

Saturday-Sunday		10:30 Status meeting (and planning session) -   			 
then hack away


The idea is that anyone interested can join the tutorial/QA session and 
dinner on Friday. If people want to stay and participate in the sprint 
during Saturday and Sunday (a very short time so we recommend some prior 
PyPy knowledge and good Python programming skills) - then we suggest
that people group pair with Michael Hudson on type optimizations.

Michael T: can you forward this to the irish python group so they know 
that people can join just for friday afternoon if the want to? 
Socializing a bit - PyPy goes Irish (whatever that means but we are 
willing to learn ;-)

Is this setup OK with you and Rory (and possible other people)? I will
update the sprint announcement after I have recieved feedback from you....

Also - there will be a parallell workshop during Monday - but the 
workshop will focus on the methodology of the project. But a few 
researchers might observe the start up planning session, they will film 
and take pictures and also - possibly during lunch - ask some informal 
questions.

They are part of a research team at the Interaction Design Center 
(http://www.idc.ul.ie/) on UL called 'social, organizational, and 
cultural aspects of global software development', or 'socGSD' for short 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_programming_language) - focused on 
distributed software development, specifically taking a social, cultural 
and organizational perspective. They are interested in studying how a 
sprint is actually done.

I hope this is OK with everyone participating - we mentioned this 
possibility in the announcement so it should not come as a surprise.....

Look forward to meet up in Limerick!

Cheers

Bea
