PyData NYC Sprint Night: python-dateutil


Details
Join us for our first PyData NYC Sprint night. At each Sprint Night, we'll pick one or more open source projects and attendees will all work to improve the software infrastructure in the Python data stack!
For our first meeting, we'll have Paul Ganssle, maintainer of the python-dateutil project, who will be leading a sprint on dateutil, which is a core dependency of matplotlib, pandas and many other libraries and applications: https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil
Food and drinks will be available, sponsored by Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/company/).

What to expect
Welcome people of all skill levels - whether you're an open source beginner or a github guru, you'll definitely be able to contribute. We can work individually or in groups, however you feel comfortable.
In addition to the maintainer, others familiar with the github workflow will be available to help guide you in making a contribution to the library.
