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, that’s the perfect moment for it.
During the last sprint, some complained that they couldn’t dedicate a workday to an open-source project, that’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 we’ll try to find a coordinator for Saturday until then.
As usual, we’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?
Yeah a new Symfony Sprint ! It will be nice to discover a lot of new stuffs at the end :)
This is going to be great! Hope to see a final release for symfony 1.1!
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...
