Hi Richard, hi community,

I'll be visiting the venue this Friday at 10am. Feel free to ping me if
you want to join.

For further information please have a look a the Code Sprint website
[1]. If you have any questions please post to the tosprint mailing list
[2] or in the #tosprint channel at freenode.

I propose to meet tomorrow afternoon on IRC #tosprint, let's say at 4pm?
I'll be around anyway, just ping me.

cu
Stephan
