Just to add to the answers already given, this is definitely a group
project, in the sense that you will probably not find one of us ready to
give mentoring single-handed -- or more to the point, thinking that he
should necessarily do so.  We try to focus this effort in writing good
documentation and keeping the #pypy channel alive -- we are basically
working on #pypy between the sprints.  Feel free to drop by (very
approximately, you have a good chance to find us between 11 and 19 UTC).

The sprints themselves are the most productive meetings, and the best
place for learning as well; most people go beyond the basics by
attenting sprints.  So I can only mention again the Paris sprint :-)

If you want to plan for a longer trip, then there is probably no
preferred part of the year, with the exception of EuroPython which is in
the summer.

Feel free to introduce yourself (Python background etc.) here or on
#pypy!


A bientot,

Armin.
