-Tokyo PyPy Sprint: 23rd - 29th April 2006
-============================================================
-
-The next PyPy sprint is scheduled to take place 23rd- 29th April 2006
-(Sunday-Saturday) in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan. We will together with
-FSIJ (Free Software Initiative of Japan) aim to promote Python and
-PyPy. We therefor invite Japanese hackers knowledgeable in Python to
-join our sprint! We'll give newcomer-friendly introductions. To learn
-more about the new Python-in-Python implementation look here:
-
- http://codespeak.net/pypy
-
-For this sprint we are particularly interested in meeting and coding on PyPy together
-with interested Japanese Python hackers. Please register your interest at pypy-sprint at codespeak.net
-as soon as possible and we will help with any questions regarding getting started, pointing
-to relevant documentation etc.
-
-The PyPy team is curious and interested in the experience of hacking code for embedded devices
-and would love to discuss and get feedback on optimisation efforts and the current state of PyPy.
-
-Goals and topics of the sprint
-------------------------------
-
-Possible suggestions for topics are:
-
- - Work on gensqueak (our Squeak backend) or possibly other backends.
-
- - Implementing Python 2.5 features in PyPy.
-
- - Progress further on an 'rctypes' module aiming at letting us use a ctypes
- implementation of an extension module from the compiled pypy-c.
-
- - Writing ctypes implementations of modules to be used by the above
- tool.
-
- - Experimenting and improving performance of our garbage collectors.
-
- - Experiment with PyPy flexibility or other aspects of the implementation.
-
- - Possibly experiment with writing modules translatable for use both
- in PyPy and CPython.
-
- - Whatever participants want to do with PyPy or particular areas
- of PyPy (please send suggestions to the mailing list before to allow us to plan
- and give feedback)
-
-
-Location & Accomodation
-------------------------
-
-The sprint will be held at National Institute of AIST
- (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology,
- http://www.aist.go.jp/index_en.html), Akihahabara (the technical gadget
-district in Tokyo). Yutaka Niibe is our contact person there,
-helping with arranging facilities. Niibe is the chairman of FSIJ and they have
-invited us to sprint in Tokyo and we are very grateful for the help and interest
-we have recieved so far.
-
-The facilities we are sprinting in are located here:

-
-
-The actual address is:
-Akihabara Dai Bldg , 1-18-13 Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 101-0021 Japan
-Phone: +81-3-5298-4729
-
-Hotel areas - we are recommended to book hotels in Ueno and Asakusa (old town),
-from those areas there are only two metro stops to Akihabara. Please note that
-hotelrooms in Tokyo are often very small.

-Exact times
------------
-
-The public PyPy sprint is held Sunday 23rd - Saturday 29th April 2006.
-Hours will be from 10:00 until people have had enough. It's a good idea
-to arrive a day before the sprint starts and leave a day later. Sometimes people
-cannot stay for the whole sprint - you are welcome even if you can only stay
-for a day or a few days.
-
-Sunday: Starting at 10:00. This day is focused on getting to know PyPy enought to
-start to participate. We will hold a PyPy tutorial and an architectural overview.
-Planning meeting for the work to be done during the week and grouping of developers (pairs
-or groups mixing new participants with core developers).
-
-Dinner in the evening (Yutaka will arrange a place for us to go to).
-
-Monday-Tuesday: Starting at 10:00 with status meetings. Possible regrouping
-depending on the interest and progress of the various teams.
-
-Wednesday: Breakday (coding is allowed although we recommend taking a break).
-
-Thursday-Saturday: Starting at 10:00 with status meetings. Possible regrouping
-depending on the interest and progress of the various teams. Ending on Saturday with
-a Closure session - summing of the work and planning work to be done until the next sprint.
-
-
-Network, Food, currency
-------------------------
-
-We will have access to WiFi at AIST - please make sure you have wlan capabilities.
-
-Electricity outlets: 100V (adapters needed for european standard).
-
-Currency is Japanese yen. There are Citibank cash machines that
-accepts cash withdrawals from the major cards such as VISA and Mastercard.
-But it is a good idea to bring cash.
-
-Also note that cell phones (european) are not very compatible with the Japanese
-network. There are possibilities for 3G phones to hire a phone and put your simcard
-in there. At the airport (both Kansai and Narita) there are information and places
-were this can be arranged (to a cost of course).
-
-Food: well - japanese food is great (wether it is sushi, sashimi, tempura, sukiyaki, teriyaki....
-Eating out is not that much differently prized
-than any large european town. There are of course restaurants serving
-other food than japanese (chinese, korean, McDonalds ;-).
-Please also note that vegetables and fruit is quite expensive in Japan.
-
-For more information - see tourist url:s above.
-
-Registration etc.pp.
