Neither myself nor Inria has fund to use outside the foundation. The
foundation can commit money if needed. We tend to prefer spending it on
paying senior people to work on the project, as it is the bottleneck (we
are still recruiting, by the way), but such a sprint is important.

We will also apply for sprint-specific funding sources. If we can
lighten-up your budget, so that you can pay awesome people to work on the
project, it is a good thing.
