Good idea!  But since the sprints are planned Mon/Tue, i.e. *before*
the conference, this would have to be done on the first morning of the
sprint.

For the Zope3 sprint in Rotterdam we had a Wiki page (and reminder
emails) for all participants to encourage them to set up and test
their ssh/cvs setup on their laptop *before* coming to the sprint, so
we wouldn't waste time on that.
