Von: Armin Rigo arigo@tunes.org Datum: 4. Mai 2008 17:27:16 GMT+02:00 An: esug-list@lists.esug.org Betreff: [Esug-list] [ANN] PyPy and SPy sprint, Berlin 17-22 May

Hi all,

We will do a follow-up sprint for SPy, PyPy's Squeak implementation, coupled with other PyPy topics, after the upcoming S3 workshop.

===================================================================== PyPy Berlin Sprint (17-22nd May 2008) =====================================================================

The next PyPy sprint will be in the crashed `c-base space station`_, Berlin, Germany, Earth, Solar System. This is a fully public sprint: newcomers (from all planets) and topics other than those proposed below are welcome.

.. _`c-base space station`: http://www.c-base.org/

Goals and topics of the sprint

• work on PyPy's JIT generator: we are refactoring parts of the compiling logic, in ways that may also allow generating better machine code for loops (people or aliens with knowledge on compilers and SSA, welcome)

• work on the SPy VM, PyPy's Squeak implementation, particularly the graphics capabilities

• work on PyPy's GameBoy emulator, which also needs graphics support

• trying some large pure-Python applications or libraries on PyPy

and fixing the resulting bugs. Possibilities are Zope 3, Django and others.

• We are open to all sorts of other tasks during the sprint, just propose something.

Location & Accomodation

The sprint will take place in the c-base in Berlin. The address is::

c-base e.V.
Rungestrasse 20

If you want to come, please register via by svn:

http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/extradoc/sprintinfo/berlin-2008/ people.txt

or write a mail to the pypy-sprint mailing list if you do not yet have check-in rights:

http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-sprint

Of course, especially given the location, it's ok to show up even if you didn't register. (The c-base has probably got the plans of Guido's famous time machine anyway, so you can register last week.)

Exact times

The sprint will be from 17th to 22nd of May 2008. We will start sprinting every day at 10. An introduction will be given on the first day, if there is interest.
