Development Sprints¶

Overview¶

Development sprints are a key part of PyCon JP, a chance for the contributors to open-source projects to get together face-to-face for up to four days of intensive learning, development and camaraderie. Newbies sit with gurus, go out for lunch and dinner together, and have a great time while advancing their project.

What’s a sprint?¶

PyCon JP Development Sprints are one day of intensive learning and development on an open source project of your choice, in a team environment. It’s a time to come together with colleagues, old and new, to share what you’ve learned and apply it to an open source project.

In the crucible of a sprint room, teaming with both focus and humor, it’s a time to test, fix bugs, add new features, and improve documentation. And it’s a time to network, make friends, and build relationships that go beyond the conference.

PyCon provides the space and infrastructure (network, power, tables & chairs); you bring your skills, humanity, and brainpower (oh! and don’t forget your computer).
