CMooneyhey jacob2222:24
CMooneyYou wanted quentins email address so you could email him possible sponsors.22:24
CMooneyq-AT-qwright-DOT-myzen-DOT-co-DOT-uk22:25
CMooneyHope that works. It's the email he sent messages to the list from.22:25

CMooneyJust reading over the IRC logs and I've got a question about what you said at 22:41!22:52
CMooneyhttp://mg.pov.lt/europython-irclog/%23europython.2009-01-27.log.html22:52
CMooneyfuzzymanlooks like we might have a Turbogears and Pocoo sprint22:4122:52
CMooneyfuzzymantwo separate sprints22:52
fuzzymanright...22:53
CMooneyDid you ask them about sprints?22:53
fuzzymanyes22:53
CMooneyie can I add them to the wiki?22:53
CMooneybrilliant!22:53
fuzzymanI have asked and they have said maybe22:53
fuzzymanwill probably need some financial aid to bring sprint leaders22:53
fuzzymanI've emailed the committee and asked them if it will be possible22:54
CMooneyk. Will put that in the minutes.22:54
fuzzymanmight as well add them to the Wiki anyway22:54
CMooneyThanks.22:54
jacob22CMooney: Thanks. I'll send the stuff to him again.22:55
CMooneyjacob22, no worries.22:56
CMooneyAdded to the wiki.22:56
fuzzymancool22:58
jacob22I've poked the PyPy'ers about when they want to sprint, but it is hard to get people to make up their minds this far in advance.23:01
fuzzymanyeah - I've tried poking them as well23:01
fuzzymanand they don't want to think about it yet23:01
fuzzymanthey say there is always a PyPy sprint though23:02
fuzzymanbut they're all complaining about the cost of coming to the UK23:02
jacob22fuzzyman: You talked to Maciek, that's not quite the same thing. ;-)23:02
fuzzymanheh23:03
fuzzymanyeah, he does like to complain23:03
fuzzyman none of the others responded23:03
fuzzymanwell - a few chimed in about the expense23:04
fuzzymanMaciek is often heavily involved in organising the sprints though23:04
jacob22Another important factor is that we have a grant proposal in evaluation. If it comes through, it will change things quite a bit.23:04
fuzzymanwe usually get some support from the PSF23:04
jacob22I'm talking about a grant to support 5 people for 2 years...23:05
fuzzymanfor PyPy?23:05
fuzzymanfor EuroPython?23:05
fuzzymanwho is 'we'23:06
jacob22Yes, we appied to something called Eurostars.23:06
jacob22In this case it is Open End, Merlinux and HHU.23:06
fuzzymanwhich of my questions are you replying yes to?23:06
fuzzymanwho are you by the way?23:06
fuzzymancool23:06
fuzzymanso 'we' is PyPY23:07
jacob22More or less. We are a subset of PyPy.23:07
fuzzymanwho is 'you' though?23:07
jacob22I'm Jacob Hallén. I'm chairman of the board of Open End.23:08
fuzzymanah23:08
fuzzymanI don't think I've met you have I?23:08
jacob22I've done some of the more pedestrian coding in PyPy.23:08
fuzzymanI haven't even done that23:09
fuzzymanI've attended lots of talks and blogged about it a few times...23:09
fuzzymananyway - the grant application is great news23:09
fuzzymando you think you are likely to get it?23:09
jacob22We ought to have met somewhere. Were you at the first Pycon UK?23:09
fuzzymanyes23:10
fuzzymancan you give me a link to open end?23:10
fuzzymanI know merlinuc23:10
fuzzyman*merlinux23:10
fuzzymanwho are HHU?23:10
fuzzymanAh23:10
jacob22Heinrich Heine Universität in Düsseldorf.23:11
fuzzymanOpen End includes Laura23:11
fuzzymanI know Laura23:11
jacob22Yes. Laura and I live together.23:11
fuzzymanah23:11
fuzzymancool23:11
fuzzymanwere you at the first PyPy?23:11
fuzzymanoops23:11
fuzzymanI mean PyCon UK?23:11
fuzzymanhow likely do you think it is that you will get the grant?23:12
jacob22Yes. I helped out a bit in various ends.23:12
jacob22I think it is fairly likely. We appied once before. Got approval, but there wasn't enough money to fund all proposals.23:13
fuzzymanok - we probably met, even if briefly23:13
fuzzymanright - that's very good news23:13
fuzzymando you know who the five would be?23:13
jacob22This time we have a more focused proposal and we are known by the grant administrators.23:14
fuzzymanwhat does the proposal cover?23:14
fuzzymanI'd be very interested in the five23:14
fuzzymanthe problem is I guess that a lot of the core guys are involved in academia23:15
jacob22Yes, more or less. Armin Rigo and CF Bolz from HHU, Samuele Pedroni and Anders Hammarquist from OE and Maciek (and possibly Antonio Cuni) from Merlinux.23:15
fuzzymanGreat23:15
jacob22The proposal is very focused on getting a production ready JIT.23:15
fuzzymanArmin, Carl, Samuele and Anto are a formidable team23:16
fuzzymanfantastic23:16
fuzzymanand you think Armin can be made to cooperate? ;-)23:16
fuzzymanhe won't just decide to go mountain climbing instead23:16
CMooneyAnyone know who the website guy for ep is? I have a feeling it's zeth....23:16
fuzzymanwell - partly Zeth23:17
jacob22Without the grant money, we can't afford to have Samuele on the project, and I think he is really needed. He makes things happen.23:17
fuzzymanright23:17
CMooneywho's the other part then? :)23:17
fuzzymannot sure23:17
fuzzymansomeone to do with sheep...23:17
fuzzymanor sheep in their nick anyway23:17
CMooneyTheSheep??23:17
CMooneyk23:17
fuzzymanyes23:17
fuzzymanjacob22: I've never actually met Samuele, or Armin23:18
fuzzymanbut I know Holger, Maciek, Anto and Carl23:18
fuzzymanonce my book and a few other small projects are out of the way I would *love* to be involved in PyPy23:18
jacob22They are both very interesting people. You'll get the chance to talk to the at Europython.23:18
fuzzymanhopefully the grant will include provisions for sprints23:19
fuzzymanI need to come on a couple of PyPy sprints23:19
fuzzymangreat23:19
jacob22We made sure of that. If we get it, the new period will be sprint driven.23:19
fuzzymangreat23:19
fuzzymanI'm a big fan of PyPy23:20
jacob22Got to go. Dinner.23:20
fuzzymanbye23:20
