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.

Two hotels are within walking distance of the sprint location:
