We (Votizen) hosted a 1-day sprint yesterday from 10a to 6p. I had capped attendance at 30 just for logistical reasons - there's room for more but I wanted to gauge interest.
24 people signed up, and I'd guess that about 20 people total were there for at least part of the day. I think we peaked at about 16 people at once. I think this is a really great turnout, but I look forward to building it up. Julien Phalip was available to take patches - thanks, Julien! I worked on making signals work with class inheritance (a handler connected to Some(Model) does not consistently receive calls for SubclassOf(Some)). This is an old problem made worse with the addition of abstract and proxy models. I've intended to work on it for over a year, so it's great to finally get some focus on it. The branch so far has a proof of concept with tests passing - now we need some discussion on backwards-compatibility issues and, if we can come to some conclusion, I'll work on improving performance of the updated implementation. https://github.com/votizen/django/tree/virtual_signals https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=!closed&keywords=~signals The attendees collectively worked on admin, documentation, signals, mezzanine, and probably some other things I didn't see. :) As previously noted[1] we plan to host these sprints in San Francisco twice per month - 1st and 3rd weekends of the month (mostly Saturdays) - at the same location (Votizen, 292 Townsend) and time (10a - 6p). We put up a job whiteboard which listed Votizen (contact me), Burning Man ([email protected]), and Priceonomics ([email protected]). We covered drinks at a net cost of about $2 per attendee. If you or your organization would like to sponsor food or beverage, I'll make sure you're publicly noted and thanked. To all who came, thank you for contributing to the core and the community. To all who didn't, please consider joining us next time. I'll be putting up a signup form for the next one shortly.
