We will expand as time and people volunteering to coach sprints increases. All money is handled by the PSF via the committee.

At Montréal-Python, we stated to organize sprints not long ago and we really like the results: <a href="http://montrealpython.org/category/sprints/" rel="nofollow">http://montrealpython.org/category/sprints/</a><br><br>Compared to regular mini-conference meetings, sprints require less organization overhead and really help to create bonds between members of our community. They do not reach as many people but the effect that they have is stronger and we certainly plan to have more of them. I look forward for the sprints sponsorship and you can expect us to share our experience with any would-be sprint organizer. This is great new.
