Sprint in San Francisco

[Jeremy Dunck]

Hey all,
With the 1.4 release coming up, I thought it'd be a good time to
schedule a sprint to get in any ponies or help shake out bugs.

I'm in San Francisco these days, which I hear is an OK place to try
to host a sprint. Given the holidays coming up shortly, I was
planning for just after that, probably January 7 - 8. I don't see
major conferences scheduled around that - are there any specific
objections to those dates?

Have we thought about timeline on feature freeze, etc?

If anyone in the SF area would like to host the sprint, that would
be most welcome - I'm just getting started with the plan. I'm
coordinating w/ David Cramer who orgs the SF meetup.

I assume meeting in the city proper would be better for attendance,
but we could also probably go to Hacker Dojo in Mountain View. Do
people feel strongly about this?

Cheers,
Jeremy

January 7-8 sounds good to me.

Soon. I hope we feature freeze before then, and could spend a sprint
triaging and killing release blockers.

If we don't find a specific corporate host, we could probably do it at
Noisebridge, which has space appropriate for that. It's often hard to
predict what else is going on there though, so it could be noisy or
busy.

Bitbucket/Atlassian would love to host a sprint. We're about to move
from the Mission to our own office building in SoMa in a couple of
weeks. We'll have plenty of space for anyone who wants to attend.

Sounds like a great idea to me!

Since you're the DSF secretary, you already know that the DSF will help out any way we can, but for the benefit of anyone else contemplating helping out by organizing a sprint: If there is anything the DSF can do to make a sprint event better (eg paying for catering, helping with any equipment rental costs, or possibly even helping with travel costs to get a core developer in the room) don't hesitate to ask.

Yours,

I believe Paul McMillan plans to attend. I am honestly not sure what
other core are in the SF area or if one would like to visit. Julien
Phalip will be arriving here in early January - he's said he might be
able to attend Jan 7-8 but would definitely attend Jan 14-15. Since
we're still in the preliminary planning, I'm inclined to change it.

Votizen (my new employer) plans to pick up the tab for food & drink.
With Bitbucket's offer to provide hosting space, I think we're
starting to be in good shape.

Brodie, does it make any difference to move from Jan 7-8 to Jan 14-15
so that Julien can attend?

Thanks for the offer, Brodie. I'll write offlist for some details
about the space/timing.

[Brodie Rao]

Nope, either date should be fine.

[Gabriel Hurley]

I'll be there as well! Either set of dates works for me.

Hello all,
My apologies for the silence on the sprint plans - holidays and all that.

I'm back to looking for space for the sprint - Bitbucket has only
recently moved into their new space and are still settling in. Thanks
to them for the initial offer.

In light of that, I'd like to push the dates to Jan 21-22 -
hopefully the last push back.

If you have a location in the city, available Jan 21-22, able to
host 20-50 developers in support of Django's 1.4 release, please let
me know. All that is needed is chairs, desks, and decent internet
connection for the guests.

Thanks, and Happy New Year. :-)
