| | 5 | We'll be there at 9am both days to open the doors. It's a tradition to go out for drinks after the sprinting winds down, perhaps around 4 or 5, but this may be earlier or later depending on the general momentum of the sprint. |

| | 7 | This will be a general sprint focused on getting features ready for the 1.2 release. It doesn't require any previous experience and, if you don't have prior experience [http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/ contributing to Django], it is the perfect opportunity to start. |

| | 23 | === Getting there === |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | CoHabitat is located in uptown Dallas at [http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&q=cohabitat+dallas&fb=1&split=1&gl=us&cid=4321119087208509432&li=lmd&hq=cohabitat+dallas&hnear=&ll=32.794941,-96.799893&spn=0.011328,0.021029&z=16&iwloc=A 2517 Thomas St] and is within walking distance of many restaurants, bars, and shops. From downtown, probably the easiest way to get there is north on Pearl, right on Thomas. CoHabitat is a [http://cohabitat.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/cohabhouse1.jpg honking old house] on the left side as you go from Pearl. If you get to Boll St, you've gone too far. |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | You can park on most streets around the house, just watch for hydrants and corners. |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | === Sleeping arrangements === |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | If you're traveling to get here and need accommodations, mail the list and see if perhaps people are willing to split a room? People have been known to sleep at CoHab. If money is no object, the Ritz-Carlton is a mile or so away. ;-) |
