[pygame] Re: sprint this weekend

[Renà Dudfield <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hellos,

as announced on the website and twitter... I'm going to do another sprint this weekend. To coincide with the Berlin creative coding code jam.

Last sprint I,

• spent quite some time updating the website code to work on modern ubuntu.
• this blocked getting anything new deployed.
  
• started on stack overflow integration
• it just does an API search based on the pygame tag and returns the latest.
• I'm considering having links to sort based highest question etc.
  
• met with a bunch of people into 'creative coding', many of whom use processing but also some of which have used pygame before.
• reworked the wiki rendering code to ouput into static html files.
• there's still a bug where extra attributes are added to <img> tags which causes the travisci build badge to not display.
  
• Added the 'Hacking' wiki page onto the 'make' part of the hifi site.
• the make part of the website is all about making pygame.
  
• Did some drawings of how the new downloads section could look.
• copied all of the binaries from /ftp/ into a new repo.
• decided to separate out website JS code into various jquery plugins. And python code into a python package hosted on pypi/bitbucket. So other people can contribute to website development too.
  

I got a mac setup at home which will be dedicated to mac builds/tests. I'm going to keep that mac on the previous version of OS X and keep my main development mac on the latest version of OS X. Once this is setup we will have at least iOS, OS X, Windows, and Ubuntu being tested. I could also set up a build bot for android on the mac build machine as well. Or maybe android can be done on travisci?

Also I started writing a proposal to a couple of people from the PSF who have been in contact about supporting pygame. I will share a draft publicly when it's further along before I start discussing it with them.

This weekend I will concentrate on,

• DONE. hifi website deployed as default index page.
  
• DONE. basic stack overflow.
  
• build bots up and running.
• DONE. travisci build badge.
• appveyor, set up pygame account, try to get it building.
  
• consider how to get a launchpad build badge image. (rss or scraping, generate image with pygame maybe?)
  
• schedule in some regular development days.
  

best,

Hellos,

I'm going to the co.up co-working space in Berlin this weekend to work on pygame stuff. There's a creative coding jam (http://www.meetup.com/opentechschool-berlin/events/222708141/) there, and also an Open Tech School sessions running with beginner python programmers ( http://www.meetup.com/opentechschool-berlin/events/223058002/ ). There's often pygame people at these things, so maybe some people will be interested in helping.

My main goals for the sprint:

• get build page results aggregation up. (so people can easily see which platforms are failing). Also fix any broken build bots. https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/154/set-up-more-build-bots
  
• make new website default for front end. It currently sits on http://pygame.org/hifi.html https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/252/new-website-default-front-page
  
• New downloads page design. Driven by a repo holding the binaries. https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/152/downloads-for-website-via-a-repository
  
• get basic 'lofi' separate static html pages generated. (the non _javascript_ pages) https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/253/lofi-non-_javascript_-static-html-pages
  
• pip install related issues. https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/59/pygame-has-no-pypi-page-and-cant-be
  
• tend the pull request garden.
  

If anyone else wants to join in, it'd be good to know what things you're going to be working on :)

Also, for those not in Berlin... I'll pay some attention to the pygame irc.

best,
