Description

Some people have said that they have hardly seen a large project succeed with delivering to the original goals as much as the PyPy project did. Others consider it a failure because it did not take over the world yet or is not usable for mainstream purposes. Anyway, we'll talk about the mix of development processes, methods and infrastructure of the PyPy project. We will summarize our experiences regarding the evolving development environment (version control, automated test-driven development, sprints, synchronization, "conceptual integrity", communication channels). We will also try to share our "learning by burnings" so that other projects can explore other creative problems and mistakes than maybe repeating the ones we explored in depth already during the last 4 years of PyPy development.
