Since this year ends in a '3', let's call 2013 The Year of Python 3.
To that end, I'm planning on leading a Python 3 Porting Clinic at Pycon 2013.
My thought is that we would do at least one Open Spaces session in the evening
of the conference proper, probably on the first night, and depending on
turnout and interest, do one or more on the following nights. We'd give a
brief primer on porting, and invite people to come and get help porting their
libraries and applications to Python 3.
The Pycon organizers seem enthusiastic about this, so I think we can get some
good publicity. I'm happy to put together some preliminary material, and lead
the effort, but I'd love it if a few other people with lots of porting
experience also volunteer to help.
If you have the experience and interest to help co-lead, answer questions,
etc. please contact me off-list. I'll put together a wiki page on the Pycon
site your names, etc.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
-Barry
