Location: Bilbao
Participants: @sils1297, @tushar-rishav, @Adrianzatreanu, @Redridge, @hypothesist, @Udayan12167, @sims1253
coala conference organizer: @sims1253
Activities:
- @tushar-rishav will do a "contribute to OS" workshop for newcomers where people go through the coala newcomer program and learn git, rebase, commit messages and so on. After that they are qualified to contribute to other OS projects as well since we have rather high guidelines on contributions.
- @mr-karan got us a helpdesk - we still need people to man it as he can't come it seems/
- We will hopefully do a sprint! All coala hackers present in one room and potentially newcomers! We're listed on https://wiki.python.org/moin/EuroPython2016/Sprints.
Sponsoring: Some students are directly sponsored apparently. EuroPython granted us free accommodation for 5 GSoC students. We hope that we can spread the costs of everybody who has a hard time affording this stuff equally amongst all of us.
