Michael,

I would be happier if it emphasized:

 - supporting sprints that are essentially self funded with
   us providing financial backstop.

 - supporting multi-project sprints as opposed to single
   project sprints which might instead be handled more
   from project funds, though we might also back these.

 - supporting sprints with proven interest.  One way
   of proving interest is a past successful track record.
   Another might be having firm commitments from
   a good set of people to attend.

I also agree with Tim that dropping the stuff about
people * projects * days would be prudent.

Best regards,
