PyGObject hackfest at GUADEC 2012

When:	July 30th 2012, 10:00 - 19:00
Where:	Room 2.1b @ GUADEC 2012
Organizer:	Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>
Who:	Anyone interested in Python GI porting, fixing PyGObject bugs, or introspectability of libraries

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.
