Dev Sprint

After a sucessful dev sprint in December 2014, this month we are conducting another dev sprint. If you are looking to start contributing to a Python project or mentor some people then this is the place you should be. You can also come down and write a python library. This is not a place to prototype your startup idea. All the code written at the event should be in open source or FSF license.

Requirements:

• Laptop with Python installed.

• Knowledge of Git/Hg depending on the what the project uses.

• How pull request model works for open source project.

What is it ?

• Come and work on your favourite Python open source project.

• If you have been postponing to open source any of your project, this is good time.

• You can write documentation for the project.

• If you don't have project you can come to venue and team up other people.

I am beginner, can I join ?

Yes. We have mentors who will help you. Though, you should know Python. We wont teach you Python. http://dont-be-afraid-to-commit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ has complete set of instructions how to get started.
