Mercurial mini sprint in Leipzig - possible dates September 21th to 24th

[Manuel Jacob]

Hi,

We were discussing doing another sprint in Leipzig.

For those unfamiliar with the concept, a sprint in the context of open 
source projects is an event where developers and users of the project 
meet for a few days, usually in person, to work on aspects of the 
project chosen in advance and / or at the sprint, especially those who 
profit from the focused approach in contrast to open source’s usual 
distributed nature. Also, it’s a great opportunity to get to know each 
other. This sprint will be slightly different from the release sprints 
done in the past, therefore we call them “mini” sprints.

I can offer an office space in Leipzig for up to 10 people for a few 
days. Leipzig is easy to reach by train from Berlin (75min), Frankfurt 
(3h) and Paris (7–9h).

Pierre-Yves contacted me a few days ago suggesting to do the sprint on 
September 21th and 22th because he’ll likely be nearby in the days 
before. Doing it a few days longer would also be possible. This might be 
too short-term. We can also do it at another time. If you’re interested 
in attending, please let me know when you have time this year and what 
would be your preferred duration of the sprint. If there’s interest, we 
can make virtual attendence possible for part of the sprint.
