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).

1. Possible Hotels

Ideally walking distance from Logilab.fr at 106 boulevard Louis-Auguste Blanqui - 75013 PARIS, with at least 10 double rooms available.

2. 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.)

3. Where and When

Possible locations:

Counting Matt, Steve, Brodie, Augie, Brendan, Alexander, Peter, Dirkjan, Benoit, Patrick, David, Nicolas, Benjamin, Dan and Martin.

4. 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)

5. Funding

Can we get sponsorship from any large users?

6. Availability & comments

Please enter any comments on preferred dates, venues or something completely different.

6.0.0.1. Alexander Solovyov

6.0.0.2. Augie Fackler

6.0.0.3. Benoit Boissinot

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

6.0.0.4. Brodie Rao

6.0.0.5. 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.

6.0.0.6. David Soria Parra

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

6.0.0.7. 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.

6.0.0.8. Greg Ward

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

6.0.0.9. Henrik Stuart

6.0.0.10. Martin Geisler

I fly to a conference in Zurich on Monday, February 8th and return on the 12th. I'm also handing in my thesis at the end of February -- that means I'll be quite busy in this period. So I don't know if I'll be able to join.

6.0.0.11. Matt Mackall

6.0.0.12. Nicolas Dumazet

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.

6.0.0.13. Patrick Mézard

6.0.0.14. Peter Arrenbrecht

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

6.0.0.15. 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.

6.0.0.17. timeless

6.0.0.18. Stefano Tortarolo

6.0.0.19. Steve Borho

I prefer Chicago, but Paris would be nice if someone else bought the plane tickets
