Sprints at PyOhio

This is the central location for all your sprinting needs.

What's a sprint?

Basically, a sprint is a time set aside for developers to come together and focus their undivided attention on improving an open source project. Newbies and gurus sit head-to-head and work together. Sprints help to move a project forward and involve new community members in the project. Feel free to come to a sprint whose topic interests you and find out how you might be able to help.

Where/when will sprints be held?

Sprints will be held in the evenings after the conference on Saturday and Sunday, July 30 and 31, and from 10am until 5pm on Monday, August 1. The sprints will be at the same location as last year. They will be held at the Subway a few blocks north of the Ohio Union. The address is 1952 N. High Street. It is across from Arps Hall.
