1.5 Sprint

Let's get together for a couple days to do some serious design work and hacking for the 1.5 release (Mar 1).

We have narrowed the possibilities to the weekend of Feb 5-7 and either Chicago (Google) or Paris (Logilab).

Who

Interested parties and their locations:

(Please add your estimated travel costs to the two possible sprint locations and add a * if you require financial assistance.)

Where and When

Possible locations:

Possible Agenda

• Improving the development process
• Lightweight copies, parent deltas, shallow clones, pushable bookmarks
• Wire protocol improvements
• Performance improvements
• Usability

• Stable inotify, passing some kind of python run-tests.py --inotify *

• Brainstorm incoming discovery protocol (fewer roundtrips)

Funding

Can we get sponsorship from any large users?

Benoit Boissinot

I'm not available 16-23 jan. and 15-19 feb.

Brodie Rao

Dan Villiom Podlaski Christiansen

My sister is due to give birth mid-january, but I have no preferences w.r.t. date other than that. It's unlikely that I will be able to afford a trip to the US.

David Soria Parra

Before 16. Jan would be good. Feb / March is difficult for me because of exams.

Dirkjan Ochtman

I'm fairly flexible in January, though I need to be in Amsterdam on the 29th and the 30th. In February, I'll be at PyCon 18th-25th, otherwise available.

Greg Ward

PyCon in Atlanta is really the best time/place for me.

Henrik Stuart

Martin Geisler

I'm away February 8th to 12th.

Given my location, it's going to be difficult to physically join you. But I want to take part in the sprint effort. I'll try to participate via IRC, mainly on inotify topics, and on any other topics where my modest skills can help. Update: my company is condering sending me back in France for a short period of time. As soon as the sprint dates are fixed, I will see if I can coordinate with them to match the sprint.

Patrick Mézard

Peter Arrenbrecht

I'd prefer Europe. But I guess I could afford travelling to the US, too.

Steve Losh

I'm very seriously considering heading to PyCon and a sprint the same weekend would pretty much tip the scales.

I can't afford to travel to Europe without sponsorship.

I can get to Chicago and know people there what would let me crash on their couch, so sponsorship for that would not be necessary.
