Dave,

I'm wondering what projects might have enough folks present for effective
sprinting around GeoTec?  Last night I focused on workshops, aimed mostly
at educating and promoting FOSS to normal GeoTec delegates.

A sprint might be nice but it takes a certain critical mass (IMHO) to
make things happen.  MapServer would be one obvious candidate for sprinting
based on the number of local contributors.

Perhaps sprinting activities should be arranged a day before workshops
in order to avoid conflicts?

Best regards,
