EuroPython 2023 Sprints will be during the weekend 22-23 July. This year, we are
hosting the sprint weekend at a different venue and it will be free for
anyone to join!
As per our tradition, the conference organisers will provide the rooms and
facilities but the sprints are organised by YOU. It is a great chance to
contribute to open-source projects large and small, learn from each other, geek
out and have fun. 🐍
Lunch and coffee will be provided.
When: 22-23 July 2023 (09:30 - 17:00)
Where: Rajska Building (RB),
Žižkov Campus, VŠE
(Prague University of Economics and Business)
sprint rooms - all on the 1st floor of RB
chillout area: the
atrium
on the ground floor of RB
Who can attend:
If you have an in-person EuroPython ticket
(Conference, Tutorial or Combined), then access to the
sprints is already included. Remember to select your sprints attendance when
buying / configuring your ticket, to let the organisers know.
If you do not have an in-person conference ticket, you can register to join
the sprints for free. Registration information will be announced soon
here.
“Sprints”, or “hackathons”, are a form of impromptu coding meetups where anyone
interested in a project can come together for a short period of time to make
quick progress, share knowledge and ideas, and solve problems together. The
two-day sprint is the perfect way to end the full-week EuroPython conference,
giving you a hands-on experience to solidify what you have learned and bond over
the love for coding, making and problem solving.
You may want to come to the Mentored Sprint on Friday before going to the actually sprint! Mentored Sprint is tailed to beginners who have not contributed to open-source before. We will have mentors who will be there to help you and give you a head start of your contributing journey.
Sprint rooms: we will have 11 rooms in total for the sprints, all of which
are on the 1st floor of the Rajska Building (RB) of VŠE. Check out the
room layout
for details. The rooms 103-107 and 111-116 each have the capacity for 24 and
look like
this (img).
Room 109 has capacity for 48 and looks like
this (img).
Note: As each room might have the capacity to host multiple sprints, it is
recommended that sprint organisers prioritise proposing their sprints in already
designated rooms that have sufficient space to accommodate the expected number
of participants.
Writing PEPs for the given Issues below. The organizer has never written a PEP but hopes that together with CPython developers in the same room we can bring the PEPs forward.
qutebrowser is currently in one of its biggest transitions (Qt 5 → Qt 6), shortly before its major v3.0.0 release. I'm hoping to flip the switch to Qt 6 at the sprints and would love some help with the remaining v3.0.0 issues!
Number of people: ~4 (3 contributors + 1 organiser)
Room: RB 113
Python Level: any - I'm happy to mentor people (hence only ~3). It can be a challenging project, but newcomers welcome!
