What's a sprint? How do I participate
See Sprints for information about how sprints work, how you can participate, etc.
Anybody, anywhere around the world, can participate and contribute. We'll be gathering in person in Lawrence, but if you can't make it you can also help out in IRC.
You can find all the gory details on the Sprints page.

Getting there
We'll be holding the sprint 609 New Hampshire, Lawrence KS (street view is looking right at the building).

Two hotels are within walking distance of the sprint location:
- The Eldridge Hotel is gorgeous right in the heart of downtown, but rooms are limited and it often is full.
- The Mariott is your typical nice chain hotel.
There's also some spare bedrooms/couches available; email Jacob if that's more your speed.
