The PyPy team is heading for a new sprint meetup, this time aiming at a 1.1 release and to work on integrating PyPy better with small devices. We are also open to other sprint topics!
The sprint is going to take place at the Computer Science department of Heinrich-Heine Universität Düsseldorf (Germany).
Infos in a nutshell:
arrival day: Sunday, 5th October
departure day: Monday, 13th October
sprint days: 6-12th october with breaks
Location: Seminar room of the computer science department, situated in the building 25.12 of the university campus, second floor. For travel instructions see http://stups.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de/anreise/esbahn.php
We may be able to fit some people into private flats and otherwise there are several hotels, one recommended one is the http://www.hotel-hillesheim.de/ where we are investigating regarding a cheaper group rate. Please register ASAP if you want to benefit.
There are also some hotels that are used by visitors to the university and are quite close to the uni. None of us have been at them, so we have no experience of how good they are.
1. Hotel Blättler http://www.hotel-blaettler.com/
2. Hotel Mooren http://www.hotel-haus-mooren.de/
3. Hotel Europa can't seem to find a website
4. Schloss Mickeln This one is the guest house of the university in a very beautiful castle. Supposed to be extremely nice, but also expensive. http://www.uni-duesseldorf.de/home/gaeste/schlossmickeln
We have a limited budget for funding travels. If you want to participate but need travel funding please register and send a note to the pypy-sprint mailing list. We'll see what we can do to help.
