Hello everyone!

Domen and I have been talking for a long time about organizing a sprint in Ljubljana, our home town. Then a few weeks back we were again going at it, trying to sync our calendars. And realized that if we don’t do it now, who knows when the opportunity presents itself again. So, here it is, on a very short notice (sorry), the very first sprint in Ljubljana, the DragonSprint!

Misc

* Slovenians just love to hang out at cafes and small joints. You should definitely come for a day or two besides the official sprint days to join us in some of the most popular hacker-friendly cafes and soak up the vibe.

* Weather in Slovenia in December: Temperatures normally just above 0C, but they can drop significantly, especially during the night. Snow is definitely a possibility, rain as well.

See you in Ljubljana!
