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
