The idea of holding some sort of sprint has come up. (I.e., getting a bunch of us together to hack like mad.) To better explore the idea, put a note here if you might be interested in attending, and where you are:
(Add another section if you're somewhere not covered yet)
Mountain View 2007
Google (specifically OSPO, the group behind code.google.com) has offered to let us host MtnSummit.us at their Mtn View headquarters, feed us, and "defray lodging costs" (which may mean "provide free hotel rooms", and at the very least means "use their purchasing power to get us good hotel rates").
Dates: To figure out what date works, put in what weeks you might be able to do things! Do not worry if you are important enough for us to worry about scheduling around you or anything like that, just put down the information and we will worry about that when we can see what conflicts there are!
| Week | Code | |
|---|---|---|
| January 8-14 | A | |
| January 15-21 | B | |
| January 22-28 | C | |
| Jan. 29-Feb. 4 | D | |
| February 5-11 | E | |
| February 12-18 | F | |
| February 19-25 | G | |
| Feb. 26-Mar. 4 | H | |
Use uppercase if you would be interested in attending for the whole week, lowercase if you would be interested in attending for the trailing weekend.

- Lapo Luchini -- Milano, Italy -- potentially ABCDEFG if I can get the flight soon enough (I asked at work and they wouldn't miss me for a week)
I'm not a monotone developer, but i'd be willing to do an Eclipse integration sprint.
