It's official! The second annual Python Sprint @ Google is happening again: August 22-25 (Wed-Sat). We're sprinting at two locations, this time Google headquarters in Mountain View and the Google office in Chicago (thanks to Brian Fitzpatrick). We'll connect the two sprints with full-screen videoconferencing. The event is free and includes Google's free gourmet food.
Anyone with a reasonable Python experience is invited to attend. The primary goal is to work on Python 3000, to polish off the first alpha release; other ideas are welcome too. Experienced Python core developers will be available for mentoring. (The goal is not to learn Python; it is to learn contributing to Python.)
