What's a Sprint?

It's a bunch of people getting together to code.

It's your chance to contribute to the Python ecosystem under the guidance of experienced developers. All you need is a laptop and a desire to make some part of Python better.

This introductory video from PyCon US provides a good idea of what you can expect (although on a smaller scale of course) at the PyCon Au sprints:

How do I join?

It's easy:

1. Register your interest by emailing pycon-reg@pycon-au.org, so we've got an idea of numbers.
2. Show up with your laptop, find a project to work on, and have at it.
3. Discuss the sprints at https://convore.com/pycon-au-2011/sprints/
