I'm pleased to announce Spoon Days 41, in the tradition of the Sage/Bug/Edu/... days workshop series! It will be devoted to exploring developer spooning and making the repository more spoonable.
One of the main goals will be to implement new command line options sage -fork sage -spoon sage -knife Also, I'm happy to announce a talk by senior developer Bill G., his preliminary title is: "There is no spoon: Why you don't need fork()" Please see http://wiki.sagemath.org/days41 for more details.
