A development sprint is an excuse to get together, write some code, and have a good time doing it. The purpose of this sprint will be to help finish features and push out bug fixes in preparation for the Django 1.4 release. If you're interested in coming to work on other open source Django-based projects, that's welcome too. It doesn't require any previous experience and, if you don't have prior experience contributing to Django, it is the perfect opportunity to start. We'll be there at 9am both days to open the doors. It's a tradition to go out for drinks after the sprinting winds down, perhaps around 4 or 5, but this may be earlier or later depending on the general momentum of the sprint. The sprint is being hosted by Caktus Consulting Group.

Joseph Tate built a front end to a rules system in a data processing system. To do so he designed a Domain Specific Language (DSL) to simplify creating triggering code by non-sophisticated users. Joseph will show you how he did that; what the PLY programming system looks like, and compare PLY to some of the other common Python DSL tools like Yapps and SimpleParse. As always, spontaneous lightning talks of ten minutes or less on other topics are also welcome. Anything you've learned about Python, no matter how trivial, can be a lightning talk. Note: this meeting starts at 6pm as the doors to the building automatically lock at 7pm.
