Ok, things are starting to shape up for this, so I am starting up a
"calendar" of sorts. Everything is tentative at this time.

Month - Dates - Location(s) - Organizer - Sponsor

April - 25/26 -

May - ?? - Atlanta, GA, Paris, FR - - PyATL

June - 27-29 - Denver, CO - Chris Perkins - Bivio

July - ??? - ???

August - ??? - ???

September - ??? - ?Boston, MA - Luke Macken? Note:
this is a great time of year to visit the east. Colors are
spectacular

October - ??? - California? - How about someplace warm?

Nov/Dec. I think we need a break by then.

Also, we should talk to some of the companies using WSGI technologies
and see if they will sponsor the sprints in some way. I know there
was one company using TG a lot because they had a lightning talk about
it. I forget the name... Maybe we could convince Google to fly people
around for sprinting :-)

cheers.
