Some more information about the Duesseldorf sprint: We are meeting in room 25.12.02.55 of the Heinrich-Heine University Duesseldorf. This room is in building 25.12. on the second floor. The following website gives some more detailed help how to get to the university (and more specifically to the building): http://www.stups.uni-duesseldorf.de/anreise/efzeug.php I propose to meet on monday morning at 10.00 for the first planning session and try to do some tutorial for the new people afterwards (therefore it would be good if the people new to the project are there on time on monday :-). Any objections to this?

I saw the prices and it is something like 35 eruos for a single room and only 66 euros for a triple room. If I get two people to share the room we will pay only 22 per day per person...

If the connections you get there are too complicated (for example you have to change in non-obvious places or quite often sometimes), you can use the same connection that goes to Universitaet Ost but get off a few stops earlier, namely at "Unikliniken". From there it's quite easy to walk, the stop is nearly directly at the other end of Moorenstrasse.

Thanks. This page: http://vrr.de/en/fahrplanauskunft/index.html is your friend. You are travelling from Duesseldorf / Flughafen to Duesseldorf / Moorenstrasse 4. I guess you might want to print out the page of results you get because that late at night there doesn't seem to be one consistent option for the journey, but the Flughafen -> Zoo -> Am Steinberg route looks sane enough. > (as of now I know how to get to university, so > I would need to go by foot from the tramstop on the middle of campus > http://www.stups.uni-duesseldorf.de/anreise/efzeug.php to the > university so at least I can manage a way to get there). I'm not quite sure I understand. It's a fair walk -- 30 minutes or so? -- from the hotel to where in the uni that we're sprinting. You can get the bus for a few stops if you're lazy but last time most people walked most days, and there will be plenty of people at the Hotel an der Uni to show you the way.

Will this be the official break day? I don't think so. Thursday or Friday are more likely candidates. Wednesday is a bit early, after just two days of sprinting.

This sprint will be the final public sprint of our EU-funded period, and a kick-off for the final work on the upcoming PyPy 1.0 release (scheduled for mid-February). The sprint is the last chance for students looking for a "summer" job with PyPy this winter! If you have a proposal and would like to work with us in the mountains please send it in before 15th December to "pypy-tb at codespeak.net" and cross-read this page: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/summer-of-pypy.html ------------------------------ Goals and topics of the sprint ------------------------------ * Like previous winter, the main side goal is to have fun in winter sports :-) We can take a couple of days off for ski; at this time of year, ski days end before 4pm, which still leaves plenty of time to recover (er, I mean hack). * Progress on the JIT compiler, which we are just starting to scale to the whole of PyPy. `[1]`_ * Polish the code and documentation of the py lib, and eventually release it. * Work on prototypes that use the new features that PyPy enables: distribution `[2]`_ (based on transparent proxying `[3]`_), security `[4]`_, persistence `[5]`_, etc. `[6]`_. .. _[1]: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/jit.html .. _[2]: http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/dist/pypy/lib/distributed/ .. _[3]: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/proxy.html .. _[4]: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/project-ideas.html#security .. _[5]: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/project-ideas.html#persistence .. _[6]: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/project-ideas.html ----------------------- Location & Accomodation ----------------------- Leysin, Switzerland, "same place as before". Let me refresh your memory: both the sprint venue and the lodging will be in a very spacious pair of chalets built specifically for bed & breakfast: http://www.ermina.ch/. The place has a baseline ADSL Internet connexion (600Kb) with wireless installed. You can of course arrange your own lodging anywhere (so long as you are in Leysin, you cannot be more than a 15 minute walk away from the sprint venue), but I definitely recommend lodging there too -- you won't find a better view anywhere else (though you probably won't get much worse ones easily, either :-) I made pre-reservations in the Chalet, so please *confirm* quickly that you are coming so that we can adjust the reservations as appropriate. The rate so far has been 60 CHF a night all included in 2-person rooms, with breakfast. There are larger rooms too (less expensive, possibly more available too) and the possibility to get a single room if you really want to. Please register by svn: http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/extradoc/sprintinfo/leysin-winter-2007/people.txt or on the pypy-sprint mailing list if you do not yet have check-in rights: http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-sprint You need a Swiss-to-(insert country here) power adapter. There will be some Swiss-to-EU adapters around - bring a EU-format power strip if you have one. ----------- Exact times ----------- Officially, 8th-14th January 2007. Both dates are flexible, you can arrive or leave earlier or later, though it is recommended to arrive on the 7th (if many people arrive on the 6th we need to check for accomodation availability first). We will give introductions and tutorials on the 8th, in the morning if everybody is there, or in the afternoon otherwise.
