Re: [Python-Dev] Anyone want to lead the sprints at PyCon US 2016?

2016-05-06 Thread Camilla
I was thinking about holding a Patch Review Party/Sprint, which would
provide people unfamiliar with the Python dev process a way to contribute
to the project and get familiar with running tests, applying patches and so
forth. I have a list of easy-ish patches that I wanted to take a look at
and I could expand that and use those as a starting for people who don't
have any particular bug tracker issues in mind.
I'm not a patch review guru by any means, though. Also not sure if this is
a good idea or if this is just late night caffeine talking.
