[OpenLayers-Dev] Code Sprint

[Tim Schaub]

Hey Mike-

Thanks for this very generous offer!  I think it sounds like a great 
place for a sprint.

Because the majority of our active core committers are in Europe, my 
assumption is that the lowest cost option (in terms of plane tickets) 
would be to have a sprint hosted in Europe.

However, I like the idea of a Canadian cottage experience and would be 
happy if we could connect there for a sprint at some point.
