Hi,
There is going to be a pygame sprint at this years pyconuk.We're
going to tackle whatever the participants who turn up want to hack on.
That might be porting to a new platform like the $25 rasberrypi
computer(there's going to be a couple at pyconuk), or improving the
pygame android support. Or it might be polishing off one of the new
modules like the new freetype font module, or perhaps implementing a
brand new module. Or maybe it's jazzing up the documentation, or
working on a new import pygame.examples.I'm getting there on Friday, so I
hope to do some hacking then, and we might be able to get some sprint
space for the Friday(conference propper starts Saturday, but some people
are getting there early) - otherwise it will have to be in a cafe or
something.
Also
going on during the conference is the python core sprint and CKAN
sprint. It should be fun to join in on those sprints too. Of course
there will be talks, work shops, an unconference room, lightning talks
(5 minute talks) and coffee fueled hallway conversations. There's even
going to be a Code Dojo - london style, and of course - most
importantly: lunch/dinner.
pygame recently migrated to mercurial and bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame We'll be able to commit changes to there or work off branches and submit pull requests later. There is a pygame hacking guide which we will make notes on any questions people have with working on the pygame code base.
It will also run as a virtual sprint in the irc chat room
(freenode #pygame), so if anyone wants to join in remotely they can.
If you only write python code, there are plenty of parts of pygame that
can be worked on. For anyone who turns up I can show them the basics of
CPython modules if they already know C.
We'll try and tweet sprint goings on via the @pygame_org twitter account.
If you're planning on coming along, please let me know?
