Over in PyConLand, there has been talk about trying to set up a
language summit the day before PyCon starts (the second day of
tutorials). The idea is to give the core developers and Python VM
implementers a day to sit around and talk about stuff without having
to eat into the sprints (I am not leading the organizing of it, so I
don't have any exact details beyond various ideas that have leaked
over to the program committee mailing list).

The idea was then floated about inviting the VM implementers of the
big three JavaScript VMs. But then this got re-targeted as possibly a
separate summit on Wednesday (first day of tutorials) where the
various dynamic language VM implementers could get together and talk.
PyCon would essentially act as the hosting site for this and as
motivation to maybe get some other VM folks to look at the language
and since no business or university would necessarily be interested
enough to make this happen.

But there is a worry that if people attended one or both of the
summits it would cut into people's sprint time. And if any sprint
group would be adversely affected by this, the core sprint would be
hit the hardest since the attendees of the sprint are the most likely
to attend either summit.

And so I have been tasked with asking people whether attending the
summits would put a crimp in their attendance of the sprints. Please
let me know if attending the summits (especially the VM one on
Wednesday) would cause you to skip out on the sprints in any way.
