IETF83 Code Sprint

The IETF 83 Code Sprint in Paris will focus on enhancements to the current tracker, and on starting to use parts of the new database scheme. The Sprint will be run in the same way as the successful IETF77Sprint and IETF78Sprint where we completed and released a good number of individual enhancements.

If you plan to participate, please sign up on the IETF83SprintSignUp page.

This sprint will take place from 9:30 to 18:00 in room Hall Maillot A. The coding will end 18:00 on the dot, with dinner and follow-up afterwards.

We have the mailing list "[email protected]" to help with coordination and for use during the event. Please make sure you're subscribed before the event starts. More info on the list is available at https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/codesprints.

There is also a jabber room at [email protected].

For information on setting up your environment, code checkout and commit, etc., see the SprintCoderSetup and SprintDatabase pages.

During the sprint, please update the two tables below; this helps both with coordination and with getting the code merged, released, and deployed :-)

See you in Paris!

This sprint's plan

  • Primary focus: Get aquainted with the new database models
  • Secondary: Add new functionality you've wanted to have in the datatracker, using the new database models.

Please fill in the following table when you've picked a task for the sprint. It's quite all right to pick and complete multiple tasks :-)
