[TOSprint] 2012 Codesprint update (some good news!!)

[Michael P. Gerlek]

Fellow sprinters:

Two new sponsors signed up this week: OpenGeo ($1500) and Azavea ($750), for a total of $12000 in sponsorship money so far.  This is outstanding, thanks to all!

With sponsorships plus registration fees plus the 2010 surplus, we have now reached the breakeven point.  Any additional registration money we get can be used to reduce the overall costs for everyone.

We have 10 paid attendees right now, with 2 more committed but not paid, for a total of 12.  We have room for 8 more (and if we got more than that we'll double-up or something, would be a nice problem to have).  If we got those 8 more, the rate would potentially drop from $525 each down to $335 -- a $190 savings!

So, PLEASE help get the word out and get folks to come play with us in Seattle.  The holidays are coming, and then it'll be only one month away...
