Re: [Python-Dev] Global Python Sprint Weekends: May 10th-11th and June 21st-22nd.

2008-04-16 Thread Thomas Lee
Anyone in Melbourne, Australia keen for the first sprint? I'm not sure 
if I'll be available, but if I can it'd be great to work with some 
others. Failing that, it's red bull and pizza in my lounge room :)

I've been working on some neat code for an AST optimizer. If I'm free 
that weekend, I'll probably continue my work on that.

Cheers,
T

Anybody in Melbourne keen for this? Not sure if I'll be able to make it 
myself, but I'd be interested to know if there's anybody in the area 
keen to do the sprint.

Cheers,
