Why Sprint?
The best way to learn is by doing and there is no better way to do than when you are guided by community experts.
A Sprint is a hackathon where you can be trained and then contribute to an open source project. In a single sprint there are many different projects each led by experts who can guide you through your first contributions.
How to register?
Anyone can join the sprint (or lead a project at the sprint). A conference ticket is not needed (but encouraged). Pre-register your interest if you are thinking of attending.
When to sprint
PyCon APAC sprints will be held online Nov 27-28th, 10-18 UTC+7
Each day consists of
- 10am Standup. Anyone who wants to lead a project gives a pitch on what they want to achieve and who they are looking for
- 17pm Report-out. Project leads let the whole sprint know what got achieved.
Where to sprint?
The sprint will be held on the Python-Asia discord server.
This allows for teams from countries as far apart as Korea and Indonesia to collaborate on code in real time using text, voice, screen sharing, and pair programming as needed.
What to Sprint on?
Anyone can propose a sprint project even on the day. As long as its open source and python and you think it's ready for others to contribute to. Some of the Projects already registered are include web frameworks, ops, data and a variety of other projects. All skill levels welcome
