A code sprint is an opportunity for programmers to get together
for both coding and socializing. We will have some goals, the
sprint topics shown below, to guide our sprint, but anyone is
welcome to hang out and work on their own special topic. There
will be multiple Octave Maintainers attending so this is also a
good chance to get introduced to the Octave code base and how to
make patches for it. In order to contribute you should have
installed Mercurial, fetched the development sources, and have
successfully built your own local copy of Octave. See http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/get-involved.html.
For further information, see the wiki page http://wiki.octave.org/2015_Code_Sprint,
and add your name to the list of attendees there if you can join.
