PyGObject hackfest at GUADEC 2012

If you are developing GObject-introspection based Python applications and have some problems with PyGObject, this is the time and place to get to know each other, getting bugs fixed, learn about pygobject's innards, or update libraries to become introspectable. Martin will have a list of easy things to look into if you are interested in learning about and getting involved in PyGObject's development.

Topics

None of this is a commitment, just a pool of ideas what is on-topic on the hackfest. Feel free to add your own, and/or add your name to a topic if you are interested in working on it.

pygobject itself

• Easy bugs which do not need a lot of previous knowlege and are excellent starters for new contributors:

  • https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=gnome-love&product=pygobject

• Discuss the future direction of PyGObject
• Exchange some working knowledge about PyGObject's innards and learn from each other
