On top of Brian's good suggestion: something new at the sprints this
year are sprint "introductions" on Sunday. Each sprint coach -- for
Django that's me -- will be giving a tutorial to help people get
started contributing to Django.

I'll probably spend somewhere from 30-45 minutes all-told; I'll start
with the logistical aspects of contributing to Django -- where to get
the code, how to create and test patches, etc -- and then move into
talking about Django internals and design stuff. The idea is to help
people *exactly like you* get a leg up on helping out. From there,
there'll be lots of experienced Python/Django folks around, and it's
always an extremely friendly crowd.

It'll be a blast -- we'll be happy to have you there!

Jacob
