Who has attended a sprint at a conference? 🤚
I would like to introduce to a different type of sprint
So what is a sprint?
Not the sport 🏃🏃♀️🏃♂️
...designed for teams of ten or fewer members,
who break their work into goals
that can be completed within time-boxed iterations
I consult the internet...
TL;DR
Sit together,
complete small tasks
But what does it means for sprints at Conferences?
We contribute to open-sources
- Fix bugs
- Write tests
- Closes issues
Isn't it? 🤔
Remember contribution is not just code contribution
But why the sprints?
- Make friends
- Learn a new package
- Get inspired
- Collaborate
You learn a lot at the sprint
Great ideas also came from sprints
Remember,
it all goes back to the community
Without the community, there's no sprints
Without the sprints, there's less contributions
Without contributions, there's no community
But, there are doubts...
Do we want sprints at PyCon ES next year?
