There are lots of good resources on how to run a code sprint (usually 
they take a weekend), Chris Holmes is another good person to talk to as 
he has a lot of Python developers who are known for their code sprints.

We supplied the basics:
- internet
- table
- chairs
- food
- paper board

No need for power point or anything; these are coders all their 
organization should be done weeks before they show up to the sprint.  
The GeoTools code sprint lasted 3 days and was able to accomplish a lot 
of work.

Cheers,
Jody
