[TOSprint] Thanks local committee and sponsors

[Daniel Morissette]

I'll join Paul and Howard to thank the organizers and the sponsors for 
making this meeting possible once again. The venue was great, Olivier 
did an awesome job of coordinating the whole thing, and great progress 
was made in all the projects involved.

Thanks also to all the participants. I was especially happy to see some 
new names (new to me anyway), which means new blood joining our projects 
which is always great news.

Cheers all

Having an event focused on developer coordination (sprint), rather than specifically outreach (conference), will continue to ripple forward into the projects and software. My thanks to the sponsors who ease the participant burden. It really does make a difference.
