[python-committers] Anyone up for a core dev panel discussion at EuroPython 2016 ?

2016-02-19 Thread M.-A. Lemburg
Hello all,

at this year's EuroPython we'll have a new officially supported
feature, the panel discussion, and we (I'm one of the organizers)
thought it would be big fun to have a panel of core developers
talk about the merits of computed gotos, micro benchmarks,
adding fast-paths for integer, free lists, and all those nifty
things that core devs do in their spare time ;-)

No, seriously, this is great stuff normal Python users never get
to see and that's really a shame.

So my question to you: will some of you attend EuroPython this
year and would you be willing to talk on a panel ?

Quick details:
 * EuroPython 2016
 * Location: Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain
 * Dates: July 17-24
 * CFP just opened: https://ep2016.europython.eu/en/call-for-proposals/
   (and will close again in just two weeks)
 * Everything else, just a click away: https://ep2016.europython.eu/
 * For reference, last year: https://ep2015.europython.eu/

Cheers,

I'll quickly mention that I have organized Python implementation panels as
PyCon US multiple times and they are always fun and generally well received
by the audience.

Hi,

This week, I wrote an article listing my contributions during 2015 Q3:
https://haypo.github.io/contrib-cpython-2015q3.html

On Twitter, someone told me that my article was interesting. Honestly,
I was surprised :-) I partially wrote this article because my employer
requires that I justify that I effectively spend my time on CPython
and not something else.

When I started to contribute to Python, a few years ago, I recall that
there were nice reports of the python-dev mailing list. Recently, I
read that Brett Canon was the author. I really liked them, since I was
unable to follow such "high traffic" mailing list (everything is
relative ;-)).

Just to say that I agree that we suck at communicating on enhancements
of CPython, but also issues that we are fixing every day.

For example, I do spent non negligible time on fixing our CI
(buildbot). But I wouldn't tell my mother that I'm doing that :-D

I plan to attend EuroPython (by the way, I have to submit a talk,
probably something around FAT Python ;-)), why not joining the panel.

It's not surprising that developers don't want to spend (too much)
time on marketing their activities. The python-dev summaries were
certainly a useful way to have people follow what's going on
behind the scenes:

http://legacy.python.org/dev/summary/
http://legacy.python.org/dev/summary/channews.rdf
(too bad those links don't work anymore)

The idea with the panel is to bring back some of the
attention to the things done in core development.

Thanks, Victor. I'll let our program workgroup know.

Hey, I am spaniard and I would love to go to EuroPython (I missed it
last year) but it is too expensive for a freelance developer on a budget
:-(.
