Development Sprints
WHEN WILL SPRINTS TAKE PLACE?
Monday, May 20, 2024 8:00am – Thursday, May 23, 2024 11:00pm EST - Sprints will be held in rooms 308-311 and 315-321 and are free to attend with a PyCon US registration. NOTE: Please be familiar with the PyCon US Health & Safety Guidelines. Sprint days are part of the conference and only registered attendees of PyCon US can participate due to the guidelines put in place for the 2024 conference.
Development sprints are a key part of PyCon US, and a chance for the contributors to open-source projects to get together face-to-face for 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.
Why not join the sprints this year at PyCon US? by Naomi Ceder
WHAT'S A SPRINT?
PyCon US Development Sprints are four days 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 US provides the space and infrastructure (network, power, tables & chairs); you bring your skills, humanity, and brainpower (oh! and don't forget your computer).
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
You! All experience levels are welcome; sprints are a great opportunity to get connected with, and start contributing to your favorite Python project. Participation in the sprints is free and included in your conference registration. Please go to your attendee profile on your dashboard and indicate the number of sprint days you will be attending.
WHO CAN RUN A SPRINT?
You! If you've never run a sprint before, the In-Person Event Handbook is an excellent guide.
Instructions for adding a sprint project to this page are below.
WHAT'S THE SCHEDULE?
Sprints run all day from Monday, May 20th through Thursday, May 23rd. That's 8:00am to 11:00pm EST. Lunch will be provided.
WHERE WILL THE SPRINTS BE?
The Sprints will take place at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. Each Sprinting project will claim its own room or if the room is large enough, it will share the space with other Sprinting Projects.

GNU Mailman
Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists. Mailman is integrated with the web, making it easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, spam filters, and more. We have beginner friendly issues in both our core engine and our Django based web UI.
commitizen
Commitizen is a release management tool designed for teams. Commitizen assumes your team uses a standard way of committing rules. From that foundation, it can bump your project's version, create the changelog, and update files. By default, commitizen uses conventional commits, but you can build your own set of rules and publish them. Using a standardized set of rules to write commits makes commits easier to read and enforces writing descriptive commits.
PyOhio CFP
The PyOhio 2024 Call for Proposals is open through 08:00 EDT (UTC -4), Tuesday May 21, 2024. We'd love to have you submit a talk! Are you interested in submitting a talk, but you don't know where to start? Do you have an idea already, and you'd like some guidance on the submission process? We're hosting a Sprint where PyOhio organizers and past speakers will work with you on submitting your presentation. We can't write your talk for you, but we can help you shore up your submission and guide you through the process. Join us on Monday, May 20, and get your talk idea submitted to PyOhio 2024!
