| |
| The pytest core group is heading towards the biggest sprint |
| in its history, to take place in the black forest town Freiburg |
| in Germany. As of February 2016 we have started a `funding |
| campaign on Indiegogo to cover expenses |
| <http://igg.me/at/pytest-sprint/x/4034848>`_ The page also mentions |
| some preliminary topics: |
| |
| - improving pytest-xdist test scheduling to take into account |
| fixture setups and explicit user hints. |
| |
| - provide info on fixture dependencies during --collect-only |
| |
| - tying pytest-xdist to tox so that you can do "py.test -e py34" |
| to run tests in a particular tox-managed virtualenv. Also |
| look into making pytest-xdist use tox environments on |
| remote ssh-sides so that remote dependency management becomes |
| easier. |
| |
| - refactoring the fixture system so more people understand it :) |
| |
| - integrating PyUnit setup methods as autouse fixtures. |
| possibly adding ways to influence ordering of same-scoped |
| fixtures (so you can make a choice of which fixtures come |
| before others) |
| |
| - fixing bugs and issues from the tracker, really an endless source :) |
| |

| <your name here?> |
| |
| Other contributors and experienced newcomers are invited to join as well |
| but please send a mail to the pytest-dev mailing list if you intend to |
| do so somewhat soon, also how much funding you need if so. And if you |
| are working for a company and using pytest heavily you are welcome to |
| join and we encourage your company to provide some funding for the |
| sprint. They may see it, and rightfully so, as a very cheap and deep |
| training which brings you together with the experts in the field :) |
| |
| |
| Sprint organisation, schedule |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| tentative schedule: |
| |
| - 19/20th arrival in Freiburg |
| - 20th social get together, initial hacking |
| - 21/22th full sprint days |
| - 23rd break day, hiking |
| - 24/25th full sprint days |
| - 26th departure |
| |
| We might adjust according to weather to make sure that if |
| we do some hiking or excursion we'll have good weather. |
| Freiburg is one of the sunniest places in Germany so |
| it shouldn't be too much of a constraint. |
| |
| |
| Accomodation |
| ---------------- |
| |
| We'll see to arrange for renting a flat with multiple |
| beds/rooms. Hotels are usually below 100 per night. |
| The earlier we book the better. |
| |
| Money / funding |
| --------------- |
| |
| The Indiegogo campaign asks for 11000 USD which should cover |
| the costs for flights and accomodation, renting a sprint place |
| and maybe a bit of food as well. |
| |
| If your organisation wants to support the sprint but prefers |
| to give money according to an invoice, get in contact with |
| holger at http://merlinux.eu who can invoice your organisation |
| properly. |
| |
| If we have excess money we'll use for further sprint/travel |
| funding for pytest/tox contributors. |
