Get Ready For The Next Symfony Sprint! by Francois Zaninotto – March 31, 2008 – 4 comments

The next Symfony Sprint will take place at the end of this week, on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th of April.

For those who never participated in a Sprint, the goal is to do as much work as possible in a minimum time. The symfony sprint is, of course, focused on the symfony project development, so all the symfony developers and documentation writers who want to give a hand are welcome.

This time, the sprint will have three main goals:

Find and fix bugs in the 1.1 branch, to help the 1.1 beta2 head towards a RC
Enhance the symfony 1.1 documentation to explain the changes and enhancements not yet documented
Help the developers who want to migrate a symfony 1.0 application to symfony 1.1

For 1.1 migrations, Sensio Labs will provide free support during Friday. So if you wanted to give symfony 1.1 a try with one of your existing applications, thatâ€™s the perfect moment for it.

During the last sprint, some complained that they couldnâ€™t dedicate a workday to an open-source project, thatâ€™s why this time, the sprint will last for two days, including a week-end day. Fabien and I will be present on Friday, and weâ€™ll try to find a coordinator for Saturday until then.

As usual, weâ€™ll start the sprint at about 10am (West European Time). Meet us on the #symfony IRC channel for task allocation, and get ready for some serious work!

Ah darn, I won't be able to join you guys this time. I'll be doing a presentation on symfony at the dutch Linux User Group meeting on saturday, and have to really finish some work on friday.

Maybe next time a bit longer notice upfront would be nice, to allow people to plan it into their schedules?

The teaser text on the index page hat wrong dates: "Friday 7th and Saturday 8th of April: Get ready for some serious work!"
Maybe someone would like to fix that...
