+Wrap up of the distutils2 paris' sprint
+#######################################
+
+:date: 2011-02-08
+
+Finally, thanks to a bunch of people that helped me to pay my train and bus
+tickets, I've made it to paris for the distutils2 sprint. 
+
+They have been a bit more than 10 people to come during the sprint, and it was
+very productive. Here's a taste of what we've been working on:
+
+* the `datafiles`, a way to specify and to handle the installation of files which
+  are not python-related (pictures, manpages and so on).
+* `mkgcfg`, a tool to help you to create a setup.cfg in minutes (and with funny
+  examples)
+* converters from setup.py scripts. We do now have a piece of code which
+  reads your current `setup.py` file and fill in some fields in the `setup.cfg`
+  for you.
+* a compatibility layer for distutils1, so it can read the `setup.cfg` you will
+  wrote for distutils2 :-)
+* the uninstaller, so it's now possible to uninstall what have been installed
+  by distutils2 (see PEP 376)
+* the installer, and the setuptools compatibility layer, which will allow you
+  to rely on setuptools' based distributions (and there are plenty of them!)
+* The compilers, so they are more flexible than they were. Since that's an
+  obscure part of the code for distutils2 commiters (it comes directly from the
+  distutils1 ages), having some guys who understood the problematics here was
+  a must.
+
+Some people have also tried to port their packaging from distutils1 to
+distutils2. They have spotted a number of bugs and made some improvements 
+to the code, to make it more friendly to use.
+
+I'm really pleased to see how newcomers went trough the code, and started
+hacking so fast. I must say it wasn't the case when we started to work on
+distutils1 so that's a very good point: people now can hack the code quicker
+than they could before.
+
+Some of the features here are not *completely* finished yet, but are on the
+tubes, and will be ready for a release (hopefully) at the end of the week.
+
+Big thanks to logilab for hosting (and sponsoring my train ticket) and
+providing us food, and to bearstech for providing some money for breakfast and
+bears^Wbeers.
+
+Again, a big thanks to all the people who gave me money to pay the transport,
+I really wasn't expecting such thing to happen :-)
