Having workshop on first day helps in sorting lots of logistics issues for
next day. We can have sprints on the first day in first floor. There is
space limitation. 50 to 100 people can easily work. I think there are lot
smaller open source projects written by many of us. Not everyone needs to
contribute to Django, Flask, Python 3. I think it is good idea to start and
improve the quality later.
