From barry at python.org Wed Feb 16 18:06:27 2005 From: barry at python.org (Barry Warsaw) Date: Wed Feb 16 18:06:33 2005 Subject: [Mailman3-dev] Sprinting at Pycon 2005 Message-ID: <1108573587.10593.67.camel@geddy.wooz.org> I encourage everyone who wants to help speed Mailman3 progress to join us at Pycon 2005 for a Mailman 3 sprint. Here's the sprint page: http://www.python.org/moin/Mailman3Sprint If you're coming, please add your name to the list. I think we can make some significant progress if we get enough people. I'm willing to talk about how to improve the process so more people can contribute. Pycon2005 is in Washington DC March 23-25, 2005. While there is a fee for the main conference, there are 4 days of planned sprints from March 19-22 and these are free. I am currently planning on attending the entire conference, including all 4 sprint days, and I'd be happy to sprint on MM3 the whole time. -Barry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm not sure which process you're referring to here -- the sprint process, or Mailman's development process in general (e.g. the number of people with CVS commit rights)? In case it's the latter, I'm putting in a shameless plug for the Arch mirror[1] I'm keeping of Mailman3's CVS repository. As to the sprint, I'm regrettably unable to participate in person. I *might* be able to participate remotely (from Norway) on Saturday 19th and/or Sunday 20th, if that is at all interesting -- I don't have any experience with "sprints", and hence don't know if remote participants would prove to be a net hindrance, due to the other (text-based => more cumbersome) means of communication that would, to some degree, presumably be needed. On the 21st I'll be going on easter holiday -- proper holiday, forsaking even network connectivity :-) -- and so won't be able to participate at all. Whether remote sprint participation is a viable alternative or not, I'm thrilled that Mailman3 seems to be moving again :-), and am eagerly awaiting the appearance of more design documents/code. As I'm using a severly patched Mailman that keeps track of member/admin addresses in a central, list-independent user database, and these local patches are getting in the way of upgrades, I would be happy to help designing/implementing similar features in Mailman3.

Not to be a nay-sayer, but maybe we should have a public discussion on the architecture and feature set? (I think the operative word should be plugability, myself..) I'd hate to start coding on something before we've really decided the architecture. Any chance y'all will be at OSCON this summer, too? I won't be at PyCon, but will almost certainly be at OSCON.
