[pypy-dev] New Contributor Experience in Python and other FOSS Communities - A Survey
Hi all, [note - this was originally sent to a few CPython places, but I told the surveyor that we should include the many new PyPy contributors as well, and he agreed] Along with a number of other free and open communities, Python is being included in a survey of new contributors since January 2010. The survey is being done by Kevin Carillo, a PhD student at Victoria University of Wellington who is studying various approaches that projects use to gain and work with new contributors. If you have written patches, reviewed issues, or done anything to contribute to the development of Python and you started this after January 2010, I hope you can spare around 20 minutes to complete this survey: https://limesurvey.sim.vuw.ac.nz/index.php?sid=65151&lang=en There's a longer blog post up at http://blog.python.org/2012/11/new-contributor-experience-in-python.html if you would like a bit more information. On behalf of Kevin Carillo, I thank you for your time and consideration of this survey. Thank, Brian Curtin ___ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev

It's really more of an issue of personnel, as Maciej points out. I have a contact at Microsoft (through CPython) who is willing to help us get what we need to support Python on Windows, whether it's tools or help solving problems on the platform. If you solve the problem of attracting more Windows developers, I could help facilitate discussion with Microsoft to get something like Azure setup. ___ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev

It may be early to start bringing this up, but I recently created an extension to catch crashes in C code and write minidumps: https://bitbucket.org/briancurtin/minidumper. It's 3.x only at the moment, although I'll be backporting within the next few days. I'll have a look at how/if it works on PyPy once I get there. (minidumper will likely be absorbed into faulthandler once it becomes more complete, which is why I mention it) ___ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
