Last weekend I attended EuroPython sprints that were virtually conducted. The communication platform for the conference was discord and was kept the same for the sprints too. It served a good platform as we were able to pair program with the maintainer by sharing our screens.

Day 1

Sprints opened at 12:30 PM IST and started with its first round of project introduction. A total of 12 projects that took part in this year's sprint. Though the project maintainers were from varied timezone and timezones are difficult to handle. The first opening of sprints only had a few maintainers of the project to talk about their project.

The project that I started off in the day one of the sprints was terminusdb. I primarily contributed to terminudb's python client which had Cheuk Ting Ho and Kevin Chekov Feeney to help us out. Kevin had coded the JS Client of the project and was here to work on the Python Client.

The issue I picked up was increasing the test coverage of the project and while working on that issue I also discovered some other issues. Some depreciated function was still being used in the client and the make file did not have a command to generate coverage HTML of the project.

By the end of day one, I had moved the coverage of terminusdb_client/woqlclient/connectionConfig.py to 70% from 62% with a PR to remove the deprecated function from the client. Doing that I learned about graph databases and how terminusdb has git like features for the database.

Day 2

I started late on the second day and continued to work on the test coverage PR. I fixed some minor flake8 errors in my test coverage PR and pushed to coverage to 75% and created a PR for that make file command. A lot of people in sprints were confused in setup of project. So opened up a documentation issue for writing the wiki for setup instructions and contributions guidelines for new/first time contributors.

Just an hour before the first closing session I moved to scanapi which is maintained by Camila Maia. I picked up some good first issues and got them merged in no time. I saw this project at the closing of the day-1 and found it very interesting.

The other projects that I really found interesting but could not contribute to were Hypothesis, strawberry GraphQL and commitizen.

Overall I had a really fun weekend and I am excited to contribute more to those projects.
