[python-committers] Core Dev Sprints

[Steve Dower]

Hi all

Just a quick update to let everyone know that I've started sending out 
invites for the sprints.

We have a limited number of *funded* places available, but room to 
accommodate more people actually being there. So the way I'm approaching 
this is by working down a somewhat arbitrarily-ordered list (with a bias 
towards previous attendees, recent contributions, and newer core 
developers) and sending out only as many invitations as we have funded 
places.

As I hear that people either can't make it or don't need funding, I'll 
invite the next person. So if you didn't receive an invite today, it 
doesn't mean you aren't getting one. And if you _did_ receive an invite 
today, the sooner you reply the more it'll help out everyone else.

Also, if you know already that you don't need PSF funding to attend but 
you haven't got an invite yet, please reply to me off-list and let me 
know. Our space is really only limited by "how many people in our large 
room is too many" (the fire marshal says about 120 people...), so you 
won't miss out. But you are able to skip the queue, as it were.

Finally, I am not the person you want designing the t-shirt for this 
event. If someone wants to step up and design/produce a t-shirt, now is 
the time to claim that responsibility. Otherwise we'll probably just try 
and off-load old Microsoft swag ;)

Cheers,
Steve
