SUMMARY:🏁 Sprint Day at PyConDE & PyData Darmstadt 2026
DESCRIPTION:📅 Monday\, 13 April 2026\, 08:30-18:00 📍 hessian.AI\, Landwehrstrasse 50a\, 64293 Darmstadt \nJoin us for a full day of open-source hacking\, learning\, and collaboration! The sprints take place Monday\, April 13th\, 2026 — the day before PyCon DE & PyData 2026 kicks off. The sprints team provides lunch and Coffee/Mate/Diet-Coke— you bring the energy\, ideas\, and code. Whether you’re maintaining a major library or making your first contribution\, there’s something for everyone. \n  \n💡 What Are Sprints?\nSprints are informal coding sessions (think: mini hackathons) where people gather to work on open-source projects\, share ideas\, and solve problems together. For maintainers\, it’s a chance to onboard new contributors and tackle long-standing issues. For participants\, it’s a low-barrier way to dive into real projects and see your work make an impact right away. \n\nMake your first open-source contribution\nGet help from project maintainers directly\nPush forward features\, fix bugs\, or improve documentation\nMeet other contributors and collaborators in-person\n\n  \nSchedule\n\n08:30 – 09:00 – Doors open\n09:00 – 09:30 – Opening session: Project lightning intros\n09:30 – 12:30 – Sprint time\n12:30 – 13:30 – Lunch break\n13:30 – 17:30 – Sprint time\n17:30 – 18:00 – Closing session: Demos and reflections\n\n  \nHow to Attend\nEveryone who wants to participate in the sprints – whether as a contributor or a project lead — needs a sprint ticket. \n\nTicket sales open: Monday\, February 16th\, 2026\nCost: €5\nCapacity: Limited seats\, first-come-first-served\n\n\nPropose a Sprint Project\nWant to lead a sprint? Awesome! We’re looking for open-source projects of all sizes and experience levels. \nNote: Project leads also need to register as attendees (see above). \n​➡️ Submit Your Sprint Project \nSubmission deadline: 6th\, April\, 2026 \nAccepted projects will be announced on a rolling basis — no need to wait until the deadline to find out! Submit early\, and we’ll review and publish your project as soon as possible. \nWhat Makes a Good Sprint Project?\nNot sure if your project is a good fit? Here’s what works well: \n\nHas open issues labeled for newcomers (e.g.\, good first issue\, help wanted)\nClear onboarding — A README and CONTRIBUTING.md help participants get started quickly\nA sprint lead present — You (or a co-maintainer) should be there to guide contributors\nWelcoming to all skill levels — Even if your project is advanced\, having a few beginner tasks helps\n\nWhat Will You Be Asked?\nWhen submitting\, we’ll ask for: \n\nProject name & repository link\nBrief description\nWhat contributors will work on during the sprint\nSkill level(s) welcome (beginner / intermediate / advanced)\nPrerequisites (if any)\nYour contact info\n\n⚠️ Depending on the number of submissions\, the organizing team may limit projects based on capacity. Accepted projects will be listed below. \n  \nFAQ\nDo I need to choose a project when I register?\nNo! You don’t need to decide beforehand. During the Opening Session\, all projects will introduce themselves\, and you can choose which one to join based on your interests and skill level. \nYou’re also free to switch projects during the day—maybe you want to try something new after lunch\, or help out where there’s extra need. Flexibility is part of the fun! \nDo I need a sprint ticket if I already have a PyConDE ticket?\nYes\, the sprints require a separate registration. Your PyConDE conference ticket does not include sprint access. Sprint tickets are €5 and capacity is limited. \nI’m new to open source—is this for me?\nAbsolutely! Many projects welcome first-time contributors. Look for projects marked „Beginner-friendly“ in the project list. Sprint leads are there to help you get started. \nWhat should I bring?\n\nYour laptop (fully charged)\nCharger\nYour development environment ready (check project READMEs beforehand)\nCuriosity and good vibes!\n\nDo I need to stay the whole day?\nNo\, but we encourage you to join the Opening Session (09:00) to find a project\, and the Closing Session (17:30) to celebrate everyone’s contributions. \n  \nQuestions?\nContact us at sprints AT pycon DOT de \nThe Sprints are proudly supported by our Community Partner
