You've got to love profiling

Yesterday I slashed 50% of run time from our applications functional test
suite by modifying a single function. I had no idea that function was

The square map display of RunSnakeRun, with the 'render_restructured_text'
function highlighted.

Who knew that ReStructuredText rendering could be such a time waster? A
short caching decorator and the test suite is twice as fast. The whole
exercise took me less than an hour. I should've done it sooner.

Building a healthy community around FOSS project

Dear Lazyweb, I am looking for suggestions for building a healthy community around one of my FOSS project.  Recently I initiated re-launching of  These days, I am thinking more about this project and its success.  I know, a ... [More] FOSS project is not just some source code released. There should be active contributors, regular community activities, good documentation, presence in various events etc.  So, how to attract contributors to this project.  How to build a healthy successful community around this project.  At this point, I have taken the role of "self-assigned release manager".  I think that's a good way to lead this project. I am looking for your thoughts :) [Less]

folks set up continuous integration (most likely , while powerful, has a steep
learning curve).

Think about becoming the buildbotmaster for Zope. Originally I intended
to volunteer to set up a few buildbots for various Zopeish projects
(ZTK, BlueBream, Grok, Zope 2) since half of the existing
ones were down or broken. Then various people fixed some of the
broken ones and other people chimed in mentioning existing buildbots that
nobody else knew about. There is a need for somebody to coordinate all
this activity: make sure we have up-to-date test results for all kinds of
projects, aggregate them in one place, chase up build slaves for exotic
OSes (i.e. Windows)... I don't think I'm well suited for this kind of
organisational activity.

Push along the various scratch-my-itch open source projects (,
).

No idea what, but I've been wanting to do something for . Something small, given the copious
amounts of free time I have.

Then there's the paying work. On the plus side, there are opportunities
for fun there (today I slashed functional test run time by a half, by
adding a small caching decorator in front of a single function.

and
rule!)

You know what, scratch the Zope buildbotmaster idea. Maybe I can do
something technical there, e.g. a cron script to ping the various buildbot,
scrape HTML/parse emails and aggregate build results. Maybe.

I hope I don't get
again. Because that would suck. Again. Been there, done that, didn't
even get a T-shirt.

I really ought to read Getting Things Done. Reading it has been on my
todo-list for [Less]
