We will use this Gitter channel during the sprint.

In this event, we will have a quick introduction to Tornado (including some information about concurrency and parallelism), and we will work on different bugs, including:

• tornadoweb/tornado#1122
• tornadoweb/tornado#729
• tornadoweb/tornado#2140
• tornadoweb/tornado#1983
• tornadoweb/tornado#1981
• tornadoweb/tornado#1595

Also, we can work on Tornado documentation, updating all the examples to Python 3, including the use of async def.

For first time contributors, we'll have a parallel track. We'll show a presentation about what's a pull request, and how to send one. And we'll work on the Python Sprints website, to get some practice in an easier environment, before you start worrying about the implementation of more complex projects like Tornado.

Remember to bring your own laptop, as usual.

Pizzas and beers will be served during the sprint.
