-Cost estimation and justification for sprint work at Pycon, Washington D.C, PyPy project
-
-Background:
-In the proposal we explicitly mention Pycon as one of the key conferences to participate
-in for the PyPy project. The conference is being held at the George Washington University
-in Washington D.C 23-25 March 2005. Before the conference, between 19 and 22 March 2005
-there is as community sprint planned. Last year there where 5 different projects sprinting.
-This year there will be 9 different sprints before the conference, PyPy is one of them.
-
-Extract from the proposal, B.3.4 Dissemination:
-"We will also partake in the following official events, forum, conferences to spread
-information about the ongoing project, its unique process and technological impact and
-thus reaching out to software developers within the Python community as well as practitioners
-of other software languages:
-EuroPython/EuroZope (European Python Conference), ACM/IFIP/USENIX International Middleware Conference,
-OSCON (Open Source Convention), OOPSLA (Object-Oriented programming, systems, languages and applications)
-PyCon (Python Developers conference), FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Developer European Meeting), ECOOP (European Conference for Object Oriented Programming)
-More conferences will be added once the project gets started."
-
-Also - see proposal B.5.5 Communication and reporting:
-"We will present multiple reports and scientific papers on major conferences such as EuroPython
-(Python's European community conference), FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Developer European Meeting),
-OSCON (Open Source Convention), PyCon (Python developer conference) and to
-domain specific audiences such as embedded device developers."
-
-It is the intention of the PyPy team to participate and host a sprint focused on the PyPy work. Main goals are to disseminate knowledge about the technical content of PyPy as well as get active contribution from developers in the community on PyPy work that is the focus for phase 1 of the project. There will also be talks (by Holger Krekel and Armin Rigo, PyPy team) during the actual conference.
-
-For these reasons we need a full team presence to able to handle what we expect will be a large follow up of interested and contributing developers from the Python community.
-
-Justifications:
-Pycon is the yearly Python conference, our presence there as a project is expected
-The planned work of phase 1 will allow us to, during the sprint, to run PyPy Cpython tests, these kind of tasks are fairly easy to involve other than core developers on
-The focus of testing and using testing tasks as a way of getting contribution is also a very important way of validating the work of the PyPy team as well as disseminating the work
-There will be focus on the Microsoft goal of “Python on the .NET platform” during the conference. This proprietary aspiration and interest of Python need a nonproprietary counterpart and PyPy is expected to be the next generation of Python in the community.

-The following partners and individuals will attend the Pycon sprint and the conference:
-
- Sprint 4 days + conference 3 days

+Sprinting at the Pycon conference
+=================================
+
+Justification for sprint work at Pycon, Washington D.C, PyPy project
+
+Background
+----------
+
+In the proposal we explicitly mention Pycon as one of the key
+conferences to participate in for the PyPy project. We have
+a need to clarify with the EU commission if we have to be aware
+of problems regarding reimbursment of costs for travelling and
+working in countries other than in the EU. Specifically, we
+would like to check if our next planned sprint at Pycon, Washington,
+imposes any problems with reimbursement.
+
+The Pycon conference is being held at the George Washington University
+in Washington D.C 23-25 March 2005. Before the conference,
+between 19 and 22 March 2005 there are community sprints
+planned. Last year there where 5 different projects sprinting.
+This year there will be 9 different sprints before the
+conference, PyPy is to be one of them.
+
+Sprinting is a key work and dissemination method of the PyPy project,
+as noted in the proposal at B.3.4 Dissemniation::
+
+ We will also partake in the following official events, forum,
+ conferences to spread information about the ongoing project,
+ its unique process and technological impact and thus reaching
+ out to software developers within the Python community as well
+ as practitioners of other software languages:
+ EuroPython/EuroZope (European Python Conference),
+ ACM/IFIP/USENIX International Middleware Conference, OSCON
+ (Open Source Convention), OOPSLA (Object-Oriented programming,
+ systems, languages and applications) PyCon (Python Developers
+ conference), FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Developer European
+ Meeting), ECOOP (European Conference for Object Oriented
+ Programming) More conferences will be added once the project
+ gets started.
+
+Also - please see the proposal B.5.5 Communication and reporting::
+
+ We will present multiple reports and scientific papers on
+ major conferences such as EuroPython (Python's European
+ community conference), FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Developer
+ European Meeting), OSCON (Open Source Convention), PyCon
+ (Python developer conference) and to domain specific audiences
+ such as embedded device developers.
+
+It is the intention of the PyPy team to participate and host a
+sprint focused on the PyPy work. Main goals are to disseminate
+knowledge about the technical content of PyPy as well as get
+active contribution from developers in the community on PyPy
+work that is the focus for phase 1 of the project. There will
+also be talks (by Holger Krekel and Armin Rigo, PyPy team)
+during the actual conference.
+
+We want to have our full team presence to able to handle what
+we expect will be a large follow up of interested and
+contributing developers and researchers from the Python community.
+
+Justification
+-------------
+
+Pycon is the yearly Python conference, our presence there as a
+project is expected The planned work of phase 1 will allow us
+to, during the sprint, to run PyPy Cpython tests, these kind
+of tasks are fairly easy to involve other than core developers
+on The focus of testing and using testing tasks as a way of
+getting contribution is also a very important way of
+validating the work of the PyPy team as well as disseminating
+the work
+
+Please note that there will be a focus on the Microsoft goal of
+"Python on the .NET platform" during the conference. This
+proprietary aspiration and interest of Python need a
+nonproprietary counterpart and PyPy is expected to be the next
+generation of Python in the community. We should be present
+there as much as possible.
+
+Participants
+------------
+
+The following partners and individuals are scheduled to attend
+the Pycon sprint and the conference:
+
+Sprint 4 days + conference 3 days
+
+Logilab 2 (unconfirmed)
+DFKI Developer X
+Strakt Jacob Hallen, Samuele Pedroni, Anders Chrigstroem
+Change Maker Beatrice Düring
+HHU Duesseldorf Armin Rigo
+merlinux Holger Krekel
+Tismerysoft Christian Tismer
+
+
+Time frame
+----------
+
+We would like to get feedback on these plans from the commission
+as quick as possible as the conference is going to take place
+in Mid-March already and we need to book flights and accomodation
+accordingly.
