Hey, who's going to flock[1]_? I'm thinking of adding a hackfest for discussing a new version of the Python Guidelines if we have the right people. I've got the following list of things that could be discussed if the right people are there:
* New methods of building packages (wheels) [ncoghlan, toshio, bkabrda] - What are the steps to building with wheels - What new packages are needed - To macroize or not to macroize * python3 - Long standing bug about the use of py3dir [thm, dmalcolm, toshio] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=563622 - Naming of python modules [tomspur, mrunge?, toshio] - More fluid definition of "python" (ie, it could be python3) [tomspur] - Switching to it as "default" (what that means and what we can/should do to move it forward) + python-modernize, six, other packages that will help + What packages block doing that + Perhaps this could be similar to the Ubuntu definition: the livecd and programs on it should use the python3 runtime. * alternate interpreters (pypy seems to be the most compatible and therefore the one we might be most interested in but jython is also in fedora) [tomspur, toshio, bkabrda, pypy: (dmalcolm, mstuchli), jython: (akurtakov, tradej)] - Do we want to share modules between interpreters? The cpython2 and pypy interpreters support nearly the same things. The ruby interpreter precedent is to share the modules. But we do have compiled bytecode in python whereas ruby does not. So we'd share .py files but still need separate .pyc files.
On the pre-registration list I currently see: mrunge, ncoghlan, toshio. This seems tantalyzingly close to enough people to work on at least one of the areas above. Anyone else coming?
Anyone else have things they want discussed (and will you be there to kick off the conversation?)

My attendance is technically a "likely, but not certain" at this point (if my talk submission gets accepted, I'll definitely be there, otherwise I may have to work a little harder to convince my boss that it's a good use of my time).

I want to talk to the Fedora QA folks about Beaker (including the in-development autotest integration), but that's less relevant to most of the folks on *this* list :)
Cheers, Nick.

I've submitted the proposal:
#74 on http://flock-lmacken.rhcloud.com/proposals
But holding it depends on who is present. If Nick's talk is accepted it might still make sense to hold an IRC-based hackfest, though, since we'll have far fewer timezones to deal with. (If I'm remembering where people are roughly located, Nick and I being in the US EST timezone would clear out everyone from AUS to the western half of the US.)

Hopefully I will be able to attend. I submitted one sphinx workshop [#76] and a talk on darkserver project.

Just a note:
bkabrbda and dmalcolm are both unable to attend flock in person due to other commitments at home. bkabrda should be able to attend via IRC if we decide to do that. (I think dmalcolm could as well but I didn't ask him specifically).
