PSF has opened up a program for organizing and sponsoring
"sprints" related to Python language in an official manner
with the blessings of PSF.

I will try to go on stage and give a few words regarding
this initiative and a few plans on how to take advantage
of this from our side, during the conference. This is not
a "talk" but would be something close to the end of the
conference on day 2.
