+Title: PyPy - agility through diversity
+
+Subtitle: Sprint driven development in an Open Source Python project - funded 
+	  by the European Commission (FP6)  
+
+Section: Hackerethik 
+
+Talkers: Holger Krekel, Beatrice Düring
+
+Abstract (max 250 letters): 
+
+    We´ll present the experiences from managing an agile and distributed OSS 
+    development process in the Pypy project, "sprint driven", during the last year 
+    and also connect this to the challenges of integrating this process with the requirements
+    from the European Commission who is partly funding the project through the 
+    6th Research Framework programme. 
+    We will also reflect on the aspect of diversity, combining technical 
+    and non technical people and skills in the PyPy project and learnings
+    from this.
+
+    PyPy is a reimplementation of Python written in Python
+    itself, flexible and easy to experiment with.
+
+Description (250-500 words): 
+
+    We are going to briefly describe the organisation of the project, 
+    showing how formal stakeholders and OSS Python community interact 
+    through agile practices like sprinting.
+
+    We will relate the various agile techniques used in PyPy to the 
+    agile practices known from the work in the Agile Alliance (XP, Scrum, 
+    Crystal Clear) and show how the PyPy project is developing an ongoing 
+    customization of several of the known practices. 
+
+    Lastly we will also share our experience of various challenges and 
+    possibilities when integrating the different cultures and skills from 
+    the OSS perspective, EU perspective and the Chaos Pilot/process management 
+    perspective - managing diversities.   
+
+    PyPy is a reimplementation of Python written in Python
+    itself, flexible and easy to experiment with. Our
+    long-term goals are to target a large variety of
+    platforms, small and large, by providing a compiler
+    toolsuite that can produce custom Python versions.
+    Platform, Memory and Threading models will become 
+    aspects of the translation process - as opposed to
+    encoding low level details into a language implementation
+    itself.
