Just a short comment to your email Michael (thanks for your thoughts onj this matter BTW ;-):

One of the current major discussions about how to capitalize on Open Source as a business model is just that - learning/training.
So I think you are on to something there Michael - both regarding the technical aspects and the project management/developer process aspects. Sprinting combines them both ;-)
Hi Bea,
I recently did a "sprint" in the form of the pyweek game challenge. We hung out in IRC for most of the week and made a game. (Or at least a game engine, before we ran out of time!)
To me it was an exercise in project management but it was also a recruiting tool: I wanted to see what it was like to work with certain people before I spent the money to actually hire them.
It worked well, and I plan to continue using that model to screen potential hires in the future... Maybe a company with more cash in the bank could use pypy in a similar way?
Sincerely,
Michal J Wallace Sabren Enterprises, Inc.
What a great application - do you mind if I spread the word about this..?
