[Jython-dev] Jython Sprint in Boulder, Colorado - This Saturday, January 6

[Jim B. <jb...@zy...>]

This Saturday, January 6th, the Front Range Pythoneers is holding a 
sprint on Jython <http://wiki.python.org/moin/JythonSprint> in Boulder, 
Colorado. This is the first of two planned sprints in Colorado. Then we 
are planning a sprint for PyCon <http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/Sprints>. We 
need a coach, a goal, and a lot more planning for the PyCon sprint, but 
that's the hopeful outcome of this email and the Boulder sprints.

A small caveat, as Eric Dobbs mentioned earlier on this list: none of us 
have worked on Jython development before, although a number of us have 
used it for various projects. Ahh, optimism...

I noticed that there are two talks on Jython 
<http://us.pycon.org/apps07/talks/?filter=jython> at PyCon, one by Frank 
Wierzbicki and the other by Ed Brannin and Jonathan Schull. Perhaps 
there will be others in attendance at PyCon? I will be giving the talk 
"Iterators in Action", for what it's worth.

Here are the details of Saturday's sprint:

    * Date/time. January 6, 2007 (Saturday), 9 AM - 6 PM
    * Location. bivio Software, Inc. <http://www.bivio.biz>, 28th and

      <http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=2701+Iris+Ave.,+Boulder+CO&ie=UTF8&z=15&om=1&iwloc=A>

    * Homework. If you plan to participate in the sprints, please try to
      get your development environment set up ahead of time so we can
      make the best use of the time we code or design together. Start
